Chapter 7 - Empathy and the Monkey Business of Brain Tangos
-
Have you tried using any of the insight and techniques for growing trust and sincerity? How did it go?
I'm not exactly able to practice a lot of these exercises with other people, but I can certainly see how they would be effective. I'll run over them
by myself at home while reading the chapters. This one makes a lot of sense, and is very pragmatic in terms of just exerting a basic and essential human behaviour, which is
empathy.
-
Try empathic listening - how did it go?
Went well, as well as a conversation with yourself can go!
-
How did you find the loving kindness meditation?
It was very relaxing and comforting, and it was an effective meditation.
-
Complete the political awareness exercise here in writing.
I wasn't able to find someone to participate in this exercise with me.

Any other musings?
None.
