Why Empathy Is the Key to Our Future

by |Published

 

Becoming a first time parent last year has been a fundamentally life changing experience. I adapted well to the lack of sleep and the change in lifestyle; coping well with the changes I think because we had such a rough start.

 

What I’ve come to believe is that empathy is the key to our future. Here are four reason why I think this is true:

 

1. Letting go empowers you to be more empathetic…

2. Explaining yourself doesn’t lead to empathy…

3. Busyness drains our energy and removes our ability to empathize…

4. Can minimalism help us be more empathetic?…
