Research proves humans are wired for kindness, from returning lost wallets to helping strangers. Learn practical ways to tap into your natural empathy and connect better with others.
The story
When someone drops a wallet, most people actually try to return it—cash and all. Pretty wild, right? But it makes sense when you think about it.
Despite what the news shows us 24/7, people do good stuff all the time. That coffee shop chain reaction where everyone pays for the person behind them? Those neighbors who clear your sidewalk after a snowstorm without being asked? The millions raised for causes in just hours after disasters? That’s not rare—it’s just human nature in action.
Here’s the cool thing: we’re literally built for kindness. Our brains are wired to help others—it’s science! But sometimes life gets crazy busy and stressful, and we forget that connection.
That’s exactly why Scott Howard Swain wrote “A Practical EmPath: Rewire Your Mind.” It’s like a toolbox for remembering how to tap into our natural empathy. Nothing complicated—just straightforward ways to deal with frustration, talk better with others, and understand where people are coming from.
Bottom line? Being good to each other isn’t some rare superpower. It’s who we are when we get out of our own way.
