Professor of Psychology
Paul Bloom is a psychologist and author whose work focuses on the psychology of morality and the limitations of empathy in moral reasoning.
Empathy is supposed to be a moral superpower — but researchers increasingly warn that feeling everyone's pain might be burning out the people who feel it most. Brené Brown, Paul Bloom, and David Brooks debate whether empathy is genuinely making the world better or just exhausting the most compassionate people in it.
