Seven years ago, news anchor Richard Lui walked into his supervisor's office at NBC's 30 Rock headquarters, prepared to give up his dream job. Having just learned of his father's Alzheimer's, Lui wanted to be with him during his important last years, even if it meant setting aside his career. So Lui reduced his work hours and joined 53 million Americans in becoming a family caregiver. In his new book, Enough About Me: The Unexpected Power of Selflessness, Lui explores the science behind selflessness and practical ways to apply it everyday at home, at work, and in relationships. Yet he observes, America suffers from a selfish pandemic where hate and violence has become cheap. He shares behind the scenes stories of the heroes who have shown him how small, practical choices can stop this selfish pandemic. How his coverage of breaking news over the years like the Paris terrorist attacks, racial strife, and COVID-19, he met those who rose above to be helpful, self-sacrificing and generous in the face of tragedy and loss. So what are we? Selfless of selfish? Join a conversation with Liu; New York Times-bestselling author Nancy French; David French, whose latest book explores how to reach national unity; and Dr. Jamil Zaki, a leading researcher on the science of empathy.
