Sonder

by Michael Feeley February 15, 2022

 

TODAY I WAS gratefully reminded of one of my favorite words and ideas – Sonder – created by John Koenig in 2012.
It means:

The truth and profound feeling that every person around you is living a full life –
just as deep, complex, and valuable as yours.

Like you, other people have questions about living life, love, success, happiness, desires, dreams, concerns, and fears.

You have the daily opportunity to have Sonder for people – to have empathy – stepping into their shoes to understand
their lives – their thoughts and feelings in their mind and heart!

It’s hard and rewarding work to do the emotional labor needed to know other people, which can include your partner, family, friends, colleagues, and strangers – all with rich lives that matter.

Practice Sonder.

See the credible opportunities and results Sonder gets you.

 

Thanks – Michael (he, him)

Please share my Daily with your tribes.
I hope you like this too – Have Empathy for People.
