Equipping ourselves with the tools we need to be better humans
What is empathy, and why is it so important to build a more compassionate society? How can we sit patiently with someone in their deepest pain, and not let it break us? How can we seek out different perspectives to our own, acknowledge the reality of someone else's experience, and make space for them, while also staying true to our own beliefs and values? Is it possible to move beyond ideology, to re-humanise those with opposing view points, and begin to relate to each other, find common ground, and work together to create a more compassionate world?
We aim to explore all of these questions, and more, in Revolution of Tenderness. In this podcast, we'll be talking to conflict resolution experts, therapists, academics, and thought leaders, alongside regular people with experiences and stories to share that can help shed light on the muscles we can all strengthen to step outside our comfort zones and create a more loving, connected society.
