The document discusses the plasticity of the human body and potential for change. It also discusses the importance for leaders to possess intuitive skills for reading people as the most important skill. Brief encounters and experiences of empathy can improve health and build capacity for empathy through shared feelings between two people in micro-moments. Direct real encounters are also more useful than many observations from a distance.

is far more plastic or amenable to change than most of us realize”

It’s micro-moments like these,
in which a wave of good feeling
rolls through two brains and bodies
at once, that build your capacity
to empathize as well as to
improve your health.

few seconds, is far more useful
than several hundred
observations.”
