In the final part of our series on diversity and inclusion, we talk about the power of learning the biggest story of all: the story of humankind. While this might feel overwhelming, it is so important to understand who you are in a broader context because we do not exist in isolation. With more divisiveness than ever before, we need to open up our hearts and view the world with empathy and compassion in order to truly understand one another. In this episode, we hear about worldviews, how we construct them, and what you can do to shift and expand yours. By being open to learning, you will always have so many opportunities to experience love and warmth, even towards those whose beliefs differ from yours. We also learn more about humility, questions you can ponder to contemplate the human story, and the importance of always holding onto hope, no matter what.

Key Points From This Episode:

  • We exist in a context much larger than ourselves, and it’s important to be aware of this.
  • What differentiates us from all of the other creatures on the planet.
  • All of the busyness in the world distracts us from how profound the human story is.
  • When you have a heart full of empathy, you are more loving and accepting.
  • Some questions we can all ask ourselves to interrogate our world view.
  • Exploring the significance of Peggy Lee’s Is That All There Is?
  • Hope is what sustains us through difficult times, so where are we keeping our hope?
  • The power of comprehending the biggest story.
