What if the story you’re telling yourself about someone is only based on one page? In Episode 59, we look at the difference between sympathy and empathy, why curiosity can change the way we see people, and one simple question that may help us judge a little slower and understand a little more. Sometimes the perspective shift starts with admitting: maybe I don’t know the whole story.
