People think of empathy as an "on off" switch. Turn empathy "on" for friends, family, the home team - turn empathy "off" for the bad guys, the competition, or unwelcome visitors. Empathy then tends to get stuck in the "off" position. Rather approach empathy as a dial or tuner - turn it up or turn it down - tune it up or tune it down - in one's relationships in the family, community, business, and interactions of all kinds.
This is a new idea to most people - and it does not come naturally. Practice is needed. Training is useful - hence, the guidance of this podcast. Expand your empathy - and your power over empathic relatedness - by checking out this podcast today and following its guidance.
