Summary

Science reveals humans are wired for kindness, not selfishness. Learn practical tools to tap into your natural empathy and transform how you connect with others.

The story

Did you know kindness and empathy are actually core parts of who we are as humans? I just learned this wild fact that completely flips the “humans are naturally selfish” idea on its head.

I’m reading this book “A Practical EmPath: Rewire Your Mind” by Scott Howard Swain that breaks it all down. Instead of just saying “be nicer,” it shows how we can tap into our natural capacity for empathy and kindness through something called “Street empathy.” It’s like a practical workout program for your emotional intelligence!

The really cool part? When we learn to handle our emotions better [especially the tricky ones like stress and anxiety], being kind becomes almost automatic. The book shows how to “rewire” your thinking to be calmer and more confident. It’s packed with actual tools to help you connect with others, even in tough situations.

Think about it – every time someone lets you merge in traffic or holds the door, that’s proof that people want to do good. We just need a little guidance to tap into it consistently. This book basically hands you the blueprint.

Next time you’re feeling down about humanity, remember this: those small acts of kindness you see every day aren’t accidents – they’re glimpses of our true nature. Pretty amazing when you think about it, right? If you want to explore this more, definitely check out Swain’s book. It’s been eye-opening for me.
