DAVID WALDY | How to Build Fierce Empathy

Empathy. It's likely a word that conjures up unnecessary softness or, even weakness. But there's nothing weak about being empathetic and it certainly does mean you need to allow others to wallow in their own self-pity or walk all over you. In fact, when utilized correctly, empathy can be a powerful tool for realizing your full potential and influencing others positively along their own path.

My guest today, David Waldy, joins me to make the case for men adding a level of what he calls fierce empathy into their lives. We talk about what empathy really means, why we lie to others and ourselves, how to stop lying, learning to heal yourself strategically and tactically, borrowing from other people's success, and how to craft and utilize a new identity for who you are.
