Did I say too much or not enough?

Podcast cover

Round Table China

The podcast explores the controversy surrounding a Siberian tiger park in China where visitors feed the tigers, leading to overfeeding and subsequent fasting programs. The discussion covers the ethics of wildlife tourism, balancing conservation with entertainment, and the park's justification for these practices. Fei Fei argues that controlled feeding can engage the public and support conservation efforts financially, while Yushun expresses concern about the tigers' fluctuating diets. The conversation then shifts to oversharing, referencing Harvard Business School research that suggests people underestimate the benefits of openness in building trust and relationships. The hosts discuss the importance of reciprocity and gradual sharing, cautioning against "TMI" in professional settings, with Steve sharing an anecdote about a coworker's complaints about her mother-in-law.
