THE SELFISH SOCIETY Dr Sue Gerhardt HOW WE ALL STOPPED LOVING EACH OTHER AND MADE MONEY INSTEAD

The journey to creating a loving and caring society

It doesn’t just happen

Preparation for a social conscience Who packed your parachute? Whose are you packing

If you don’t know where you’re going you’ll end up somewhere else! ?????? ??????????

Some basic social equipment? Relating to others (emotional messages) Empathy (sensitivity to needs of others) Self control Cooperation (teamwork) Creativity (know and use talents) Foresight Information gathering (seek and be open to learning)

A practice of reaching out to others, connecting, noting how they feel and responding in a loving way ( learnt in our earliest connections )

Challenges

When I am not prized and appreciated, I not only feel very much diminished, but my behaviour is actually affected by my feelings. When I am prized, I blossom and expand, I am an interesting individual.
