Empathy

Miranda Dalmasso

If you want to improve your own life, as well as the life of others, simply by further developing your sense of empathy, then this book is for you!Empathy is defined as the ability to put ourselves in another's shoes, and in doing so, being able to share their feelings and understand where they are coming from. If we look around us, however, it seems that more and more people are losing this ability. Cyber bullying is on the rise, road rage incidents are becoming more violent, and the growing reports of global terrorism no longer surprises most people. Some believe it's all because of technology and anonymity. When we can't see people's faces, it's easy to misunderstand their motives or even believe they have no feelings. But if you're ready to be a part of the solution instead of allowing yourself to be even remotely associated with the problem, then you're in the right place. And it will benefit you too! More and more evidence shows that people who possess a greater degree of empathy tend to have a greater social circle; are mentally healthier, which in turn affects their physical health; make better leaders; and are generally happier. So if you're ready to further develop your ability to empathize with others, let's get started!
