How to Be Compassionate with Carlos Whittaker


Listen Later

Hey hey! The last three years have done a number on us, haven’t they? If you have found yourself looking around and thinking, “What is going on with people?” or even, “What has happened to us?” You are not alone! 

Join me as I talk with my friend Carlos Whittaker about those kinds of thoughts and his new book, How to Human: Three Ways to Share Life Beyond What Distracts, Divides, and Disconnects Us.  

Carlos and I go all in, talking about how we are supposed to do this life as humans who live from a place of compassion.

Listen in as Carlos and I discuss: 

  • What actually has happened to us the last three years, and how can we course-correct
  • Three keys to being a human who is compassionate and empathetic
  • The fantastic work Carlos’ “InstaFamilia” has done as a community, and the backstory of how they got started 
  • The importance of finding that thing that makes you come alive
  • Carlos Whittaker is a gifted storyteller, but his greatest gift is the ability to make people feel seen. He is a global speaker, podcast host of Human Hope, and author of four books, including his latest, How to Human. Carlos and his wife, Heather, live with their family in Nashville, Tennessee.
