Ben Greenfield introduces a brief, practical thought exercise designed to help people practice empathy and apply the Golden Rule more systematically in daily life. He frames the exercise as simple, repeatable, and potentially transformative for relationships (parenting and spousal roles).
Hey, look, we all know the Golden Rule. Doing to others as you would have them doing to you, or any variant of that is a good rule, right? It makes sense. We all want to do it. We all feel like we do it. But do we really do it? I experimented with this simple thought exercise that I've since done with several people, and it's astounding. I want to tell you how to do it because it allows you to practice more empathy and to put the Golden Rule systematically in your life in a very powerful way. It's very transformative.
