Familiarity may sometimes breed contempt, but it can also lead to empathy and greater understanding. In this talk, Mark Ware argues that we are hard-wired to seek familiarity. Following his stroke at the age of 39, Ware was forced to familiarise himself with the daily rhythms of life again, finding in his work and life that the familiar was his pathway to recovery and his second stage of life.
