I also worked with poor children at a Head Start program and taught in an inner city college environment. Being an identical twin to a Wall Street guy and having lived and worked in an affluent community for the past 17 years, I have a fair amount of exposure to the wealthy including many affluent friends and clients. In general, I agree with Mr. Goleman&#8217;s <a title=\"Life Coach\" href=\"http:\/\/www.drbrettdenkin.com\/life-coach\/\">perspective<\/a> that the wealthy and more powerful tend to &#8220;pay less attention to us than we do to them,&#8221; a prerequisite for empathy! Less empathy means less caring. I just read another article in the New York Times <a title=\"Business Consultant\" href=\"http:\/\/www.drbrettdenkin.com\/business-consultant\/\">business<\/a> section about the CEO of Bloomingdales who values empathy, caring, and listening a great deal.
