Aaron Cain discusses Breithaupt's new book, The Dark Sides of Empathy, in a podcast with author Fritz Breithaupt. "In his latest book, The Dark Sides of Empathy, Breithaupt explains that empathy is a relatively new concept.

Since then, it's become a core psychological concept, and part of what scientists of many disciplines think makes us distinctly human.B
