Bryan Stevenson: 如果你拥抱同情心作为一种生活方式，它会让你感到强大和美丽。我们低估了作为人类感受到美丽和强大的力量。以同情心引导我们遇到的人，处理复杂和困难的情况，克服伤心和其他生活中的挑战，这种方法会有美好的回报，并激励他人。 Mel Robbins: Brian 激励我不仅仅是关心，而是要更加富有同情心，对别人的挣扎更加好奇，并且更愿意在关键时刻采取行动。Brian 致力于挑战不公正，为穷人、被监禁者和被遗忘者挺身而出，为那些被抛弃的人而战。Brian 将向你展示如何以同理心领导，并在感到困难或觉得没有意义时坚持正义。如果你渴望对他人或自己有更多的同情心，相信世界需要更多的善良，并准备采取哪怕是最小的行动来改变世界，那么这次对话适合你。
