Ronald Goldman, PhD is an award-winning psychologist, researcher, author, speaker, and consultant. He specializes in developmental and applied psychology and educates the public and professionals. His research includes numerous contacts with medical and mental health professionals, parents, and children. His work is related to preventing personal emotional and behavioral problems that often later contribute to socially harmful effects. This focus improves individual and collective experiences.
The United States is a world leader, yet over twenty countries report higher levels of citizen happiness and satisfaction with quality of life. What are other nations doing differently to support well-being? Why do problems like violence, racism, political corruption, and mental illness persist in American society? What causes these critical issues, and how can we work to prevent them in the future?
The U.S. has many personal, social, and political problems such as emotional and behavioral disorders, alienation, distorted values, lack of empathy, focusing on self-interest while ignoring common interest, and antisocial behavior. Progress on our problems is limited because we generally only attempt to treat or limit them and avoid learning how to prevent them. Creating significant positive changes requires that we learn about the origins of our problems and how to return to our true nature.
In The Empathy Evolution, Ronald Goldman, PhD, examines the overlooked origins of these societal deficiencies. By tracing their roots in formative early experiences, we can gain insight into how to break cycles of emotional, behavioral, and social problems. The book explores innovative solutions that increase compassion and love for ourselves and others. Readers will learn specific principles to question cultural assumptions and take impactful action that can make a difference and improve life for family, friends, and society.
Dr. Goldman’s writing has appeared in newspapers, magazines, parenting publications, textbooks, and professional journals. These publications have been endorsed by dozens of professionals in mental health, medicine, and social science. He has participated in media interviews with radio and television shows and made presentations to professionals, universities, conferences, organizations, civic and government groups, and others. A European organization, consisting of dozens of countries that advocate for common social ideals and principles, invited him as the only non-European participant in a discussion at their formal meeting.
Now more than ever, America must evolve in empathy. We have the power to shape a society of greater purpose, meaning, and understanding among all people. Dr. Goldman provides guidance and inspiration for citizens seeking constructive change. We can transform the country into a role model for happiness and quality of life.
