Congrats to @adamgrant on the publication of VIBE! There’s nothing better than a book that walks through your brain and rearranges the furniture! I love that we now have names for different kinds of friendships and a deeper understanding of how we need all of these: associates, allies, pals, and companions. And, as one of my awesome UT grad students pointed out, I appreciate that this taxonomy is not about progression - they’re all important to us for different reasons. Congrats again @adamgrant - Vibe is a total vibe! 13 Oct 2026

@aclfestival is here and I get to talk to one of my favorite artists @lolayounggg. Join us on the Bonus Tracks stage tomorrow for a conversation about vulnerability, creativity, and the power of messy. 01 Jan 1970

Deeply grateful to @adamgrant, our podcast team, @voxmedia, and all of you who watched and/or listened! I learned way more than I offered and for that I’m very thankful! And, last - Adam and I will be together in Dallas for the Vibe book launch later this month and taking on a fun topic in January on his pod! CAN NOT WAIT! Thanks again, everyone! BB❤️ 08 Oct 2026

When we see people attack empathy or say things like, “The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy” (Elon Musk, 2025), we should ask ourselves, “What harm, pain, or hurt do they not want us to see or feel? Who do they want to hurt, humiliate, or dehumanize without accountability?” Based on our research over the past 25 years, creating meaningful connections and human-centered systems requires a combination of compassion and cognitive empathy. I think of compassion as the daily practice and cognitive empathy as one its most powerful tools. We define compassion as the daily practice of recognizing and accepting our shared humanity so that we treat ourselves and others with loving-kindness, and we take action in the face of suffering. Most definitions of compassion share a commitment to action. It’s not just feeling, it’s doing. Compassion is fueled by accepting that we’re all made of strength and struggle—no one is immune to pain or suffering. Compassion is not a practice of “better than” or “I can fix you”—it’s a practice based in the beauty and pain of shared humanity. Most researchers agree there are at least two elements to empathy: cognitive empathy and affective empathy. Cognitive empathy, sometimes called perspective taking, is the ability to recognize and understand another person’s emotions. Affective empathy, often called experience sharing, is one’s own emotional attunement with another person’s experience. The empathy we desperately need is understanding what someone is feeling, not feeling it for them. If someone feels lonely, empathy doesn’t require us to feel lonely too, only to reach back into our own experience with loneliness so we can understand and connect. Affective empathy, feeling something along with the person who is struggling, is a slippery slope toward becoming too overwhelmed to offer meaningful support. Again, empathy is a tool of compassion. We can respond empathically only if we are willing to be present to someone’s pain. If we’re not willing to do that, it’s not real empathy. And the lack of real empathy is 100% a major threat to civilizations. Thank you to @toninovvva for this powerful reminder. 01 Jan 1970

This is one of my favorite @thecuriosityshop episodes. In a world where everyone and everything is fighting for our attention, our rage, and our money, we exam what makes us vulnerable to persuasion and how we can develop stronger influence literacy skills. It’s the best kind of collision between Adam’s, “think like a scientist” research and my work on shame and vulnerability. Biggest finding: Shame around being persuadable makes us more vulnerable to influence. Acknowledging that we are vulnerable to those reels and TikTok’s and snake oil pitches makes us more resistant! If you want to dive into the original research - all of the studies are cited in the show notes for the podcast. You can download or watch the episode now! 01 Oct 2026

@adamgrant and I loved talking with @angelalduckworth about her new book, “Situated.” Big takeaway: “To stay motivated through the countless hours of practice that separate amateurs from experts, grit is necessary but not sufficient. The situation also matters—and to an astonishing degree: Culture matters. Mentors matter. Teammates matter. Even the objects in your personal space matter. How you think about your goals and what you’re willing to do to achieve them depends on both you and your situation.” I also loved our conversation about billboards - those signs we post around our spaces as reminders of what’s important. It reminds of why I like to write in a room where my children’s art is hanging. The kids’ art is my favorite art and it’s imperfect and honest. Grit is great, but I also need the environment to say, “Have fun. Just start.” To watch or listen to the episode, head to YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts. 01 Jan 1970

To my Longhorn family: Try not to step in the bullshit left behind by small-minded people. Stay strong. Like UT vs OSU strong. 🧡🤘🏻🤍 15 Sep 2026
