Rachana Garg: The Antidote to Chaos? Radical Empathy, Detachment and Curiosity.

Send us a text

In my wide-ranging conversation with the brilliant Rachana Garg, I was reminded that the antidote to chaos is not a staid peace, but rather a radical dose of empathy, detachment, and curiosity.

Empathy is the vehicle to build community with the people in our world. All people. Not just our cohorts or political comrades. Not only those whom we go to church with on Sunday morning, or synagogue on Saturday night, or no church at all.

Detachment comes from freeing ourselves from the labels that we use to define as the dreaded others/them/they, those who disagree with our worldviews and beliefs. And curiosity is having courage enough to ask even a stranger, “What do you need?”

Rachana pulls from an array of life experiences – the theater, pharmaceutical sales, and yoga, as well as the example of her hard-working parents – to orchestrate a life of openness, breath, and a focused mind.
