What if your empathy is hurting your clarity? In this powerful episode, we dismantle the myth that "feeling everything" makes you more perceptive — and show you how to think like Sherlock Holmes instead.

We dive into the neuroscience of emotional regulation, the Stoic approach to calibrated concern, and Paul Bloom’s provocative insights from Against Empathy. You’ll discover the difference between empathy, compassion, and detached concern, and why mastering that difference is essential for detectives, decision-makers, leaders, and anyone seeking truth in a noisy world.

💡 Featuring quotes from Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and behavioral science, this episode is a masterclass in emotional precision, critical thinking, and compassionate clarity — without losing yourself in others.

🔎 Whether you're in security, leadership, coaching, or simply curious about how to read the world better, this episode rewires the way you engage with emotions — yours and others’.

Stoicism and beyond for Memory training. Stoicism and the folks that practiced, thousands of years ago, knew what they were talking about!
