Empathy 101: Talk to One Stranger This Week

Empathy is the ability to step into the shoes of another person, aiming to understand their feelings and perspectives, and to use that understanding to guide our actions. It can be learned and practiced. Step one is to cultivate curiosity for strangers. This week, try to have a conversation with one stranger. Don't talk about the weather-- attempt to understand their point of view. Let's expand our empathy together! Tell about your experience in the comments below.
