Rise Of The Dark Empath-English Listenin...

Hilary Platt
About this episode

Have you ever met someone who is incredibly charming, seems to understand you perfectly... but leaves you feeling strangely used? Welcome to a fascinating episode where we learn https://adeptenglish.com/company/learning-system/ English by exploring interesting topics like the dark side of human psychology.


Today, we're taking a look into the unsettling world of the 'dark empath', a term I only learned about recently. We'll also look at what 'Machiavellianism' means.


We know it's easier to learn and to remember what you learn, when you learn through immersion in topics you find interesting. Listening to our English language podcasts will improve your English skills. Find more of them here: https://adeptenglish.com/lessons/
