Breaking the Cycle of Ruinous Empathy
00:00:00.000 | How do you start to make change?
00:00:01.480 | And then maybe after that, how do you help others?
00:00:03.440 | So the thing that I have done that has helped me more than anything else is to
00:00:09.480 | think back over the course of my life about a time when I was, for example,
00:00:13.760 | ruinously empathetic and we'll start there because that's the most common
00:00:16.960 | mistake that we make and to give that story a name and then when I'm tempted
00:00:21.400 | in the future to be ruinously empathetic, to think about that story, I would never.
00:00:26.300 | Make that mistake again and that I would do everything in my power to help other
00:00:30.460 | people making that mistake because we all do it.
