Wired To Care by Dev Patnaik


All quotes from Dev’s book




People discover unseen opportunities when they have a personal and empathic connection with the world around them.


Our models are merely a representation of reality, not reality itself.  


Empathy helps people see the world as it really is, not how it looks on a map. 

It's hard to tell good facts from bad when your own experience of the world is too narrow. 

The simplest way to have empathy for other people is to be just like them.  A sense of affinity can deliver clarity to often difficult and complex situations.  It obliterates faulty assumptions and sharpens ambiguous data.
