Wicked’s Call to Kindness
What the musical turned blockbuster teaches us about generosity in a judgy world.
Wishing everyone an easy start to the New Year! To ease us all us to intentions, my latest Psychology Today article explore the wisdom of Wicked the book/musical/movie! I take on some of the conventional narratives about kindness and argue that true generosity should be for everyone, even those we may think are “wicked.” Let me know what you think!
Takeaways:
Generosity isn’t about others “deserving” it—it’s about the world we want to create and who we choose to be.
Be skeptical of labels like "good" and "wicked."
Our actions matter—offering compassion can help prevent others from feeling isolated or becoming “wicked.”
