Like a struck plane spiraling from the sky in a cloud of black smoke, it is only a matter of time. So today, in the final post of this five-part series, we are going to examine what empathy is, what it isn’t, and why this matters if we want to improve the patient. If we are only doing it because we are trying to be impressive or not to let people down, or because we are striving, then we are doing it for the wrong reasons and will certainly burn out. I am in the business of helping people, but I dont believe that just talking is the answer. The truth is, many people do empathy wrong. 'Let me let you in on a little secret: If everybody likes you, you are doing it wrong.' I cannot even begin to tell you how many times this exchange, or something very close to it has occurred in my office. It covers sex & romance, paid work, fashion & beauty, health advice, housework, and a motherlode of mad parenting instructions – from witchcraft to beauty pageants, with a side of aviatrixes. Outside of ‘patient-centricity,’ it's one of the biggest buzzwords within the healthcare industry.
You’re Doing It Wrong examines what we’re told to do (change shape, shoosh, do all the housework), and what we’re not supposed to do (frown, have pockets, lead a country). Youre Doing it Wrong is an outrageous tour through the centuries of bonkers and bad advice handed down and foisted upon women told as only Kaz C ooke can. We waste a lot of time and money every day just by doing things wrong Armed with facts, figures, and fun, comedy hosts Randy and Jason Sklar offer up a laundry.
YOU DOING IT WRONG SERIES
Kaz’s own 30-year history of interest and experience in advice – from her newspaper etiquette column to best-selling books, including Up the Duff and the Girl Stuff series – and years of archives and research have culminated in a full-colour, exuberant shout of a book with hundreds of wacky and sobering historical photos of objects and instructions.
YOU DOING IT WRONG FREE
It’s also a roar against injustice, a rallying cry for sisterhood and a way to free ourselves from ludicrous expectations and imposed perfectionism.
You’re Doing it Wrong is an outrageous tour through the centuries of bonkers and bad advice handed down and foisted upon women, told as only Kaz Cooke can – with humour and rage, intelligence and wit.Ĭome with Kaz on a laugh-out-loud frolic through centuries of terrible advice, from 14th-century clergy to the Kardashians (wear a dress made of arsenic, do some day-drinking, have sex with a billionaire biker, worry about your vagina wrinkles).
