Is Helping Always Helpful? - Susan talks to Dan Harris on Ten Percent Happier Live
While some people become more selfish in times of crisis, some of us (especially parents and other caregivers) go to the opposite end of the spectrum: "helping" overdrive. Susan and Dan Harris meditate for five minutes and then talk strategies for parents and other caregivers to discern whether what they’re about to say or do is more likely to be helpful or to backfire.
