 In this episode I share my thoughts on a recent Tweet from the Daily Stoic.  It’s on the topic of understanding why we do what we do.  The link to the original Tweet and my response are below. https://twitter.com/kazoofus/status/1131240332211957760 “I recently discovered that instead of reacting to behavior that seems questionable or offensive, asking myself why someone might be behaving the way they are brings me some level of empathy & the ability to respond, if needed, with calmness. Context is everything.” ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: Did you like this episode?  Be sure to give it a rating, subscribe on your favorite podcast platform and share it with others.  More information about Everbetter Ideas is available here: https://everbetterideas.wordpress.com twitter.com/everbetterideas facebook.com/everbetterideas --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/everbetterideas/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/everbetterideas/support
