Minter Dialogue with Anita Nowak
Anita Nowak, PhD, is an empathy activist and expert, principal and founder of PVM Studio, a global advisory firm, that supports purpose-driven individuals, family offices, foundations, and companies. She’s also an author, with a new book, “Purposeful Empathy, Tapping Our Hidden Superpower for Personal, Organizational and Social Change,” coming out in April 2023 (it’s available for pre-order!). In this conversation, we discuss her journey to becoming an empathy enthusiast, the power of the empathic embrace, new research on and the future of empathogens (such as MDMA), misconceptions about empathy, as well as some of the useful tools in her book around self-development, virtues and questions for reflection.
