E51: Everyone Wants to be Seen: Reflections on Brad Aronson

One of the most profound human needs is to be seen by others. Kindness is helping others know they are seen. Amy and Mark reflect on our conversation with Brad Aronson, author of “HumanKind” from the last episode. Our comments center on that core need: to be seen. In this episode you’ll hear: - Reminders of simple ways we can help others feel seen without seeming trite or overbearing. - The importance of changing our “diet” of information inputs in our lives to include more positive messages. - A resource from Brad to give you easy ways to show kindness (that didn’t make the original episode). As you listen to this episode, consider how you can commit to seeing people by building kindness into your everyday practices. Brad Aronson is the author of the National Bestseller "HumanKind: Changing the World One Small Act At a Time." This heartwarming read shares real-life, feel-good stories about how one small deed can make a world of difference.
