Summary

Empathy is the way we react to each other, and it defines how we conduct ourselves in this world. In any human situation, the degree to which we give empathy illustrates the depth to which we appreciate other's feelings, and the amount of empathy we receive often defines the extent to which we feel understood. Our ability to recognize social cues, act with sensitivity and generosity, concern ourselves with matters of fairness and morality and create relationships - whether at work or at home - which thrive, all depend on finding empathy in ourselves and in others.
Too often in recent years has the narrative around empathy been dominated by cautionary tales of the 'empath' with their bias towards negative emotional expressions.

You'll learn:
- How being empathetic will bring out the best virtues in yourself and others
- How empathy will help you connect and find deep lasting relationships
- How to use empathy to make better decisions at home and at work
- How to attract empathy, making your world a kinder place.
- How to regulate your empathy, avoid focusing on negative emotions and evade compassion fatigue or burnout.
- Why young people are more focused on mental health, wellbeing, fairness and justice ever before, and why acting with empathy is the vital skill of the future.

This book is a clarion call for the virtues of empathy, with a very contemporary twist.
