  1. Why "Smart" People Are Bad at Empathy (Neuroscience of Charisma)

    Why "Smart" People Are Bad at Empathy (Neuroscience of Charisma)

    Are you broadcasting on a frequency that no one is tuned to? 📡 Discover why high intelligence often creates a "Logic Gap" that kills your influence. I’m breaking down the neuroscience of the rTPJ and how to boot up your brain’s "Social Flight Simulator." 🧠🏗️ In this lesson, we dive into the groundbreaking research of Dr. Rebecca Saxe (MIT) (Saxe & Kanwisher 2003) to explore Theory of Mind—the brain's ability to "read" what others are thinking. Most high-achievers fail here because they rely on logic when they should be running a social simulation. What you’ll learn: Emotional vs. Cognitive Empathy: Why leaders need data, not just feelings. The rTPJ: The specific brain region responsible for understanding others. The Flight Simulator: Why your brain shuts down perspective-taking under stress. 3 Pre-Flight Questions: The diagnostic tool to manually fire up your Temporo-Parietal Junction before high-stakes meetings. 🔎Dive into the Scientific Research: Saxe, R., & Kanwisher, N. (2003). People thinking about thinking people: The role of the temporo-parietal junction in "theory of mind." NeuroImage, 19(4), 1835–1842. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12948...
