Empathic Civilization: Jeremy Rifkin - Empathy Documentary

In my opinion, Jeremy Rifkin's The Empathic Civilization: The Race to Global Consciousness in a World in Crisis is one of the most important books - and most important ideas - of this first decade in the 21st century. It offers a comprehensive look at the science of who we are as human beings - that we are hard-wired for empathy and compassion, not violence and greed.

This is a video of one of his lectures from the book tour earlier this year.
