What if there were a single skill that could directly and radically improve your relationships and your emotional life?

Empathy, teaches Karla McLaren, is that skill.

With The Art of Empathy, she teaches us how to perceive and feel the experiences of others with clarity and authenticity - to connect with them more deeply and effectively. Informed by current insights from neuroscience, social psychology, and healing traditions, this book explores:

Why empathy is not a mystical phenomenon but a natural, innate ability that we can strengthen and develop
How to identify and regulate our emotions and boundaries
The process of shifting into the perspective of others
How to provide support in a sensitive and healthy way
Insights for navigating our hyper-connected social landscape
Targeted chapters for improving family, workplace, and intimate relationships
Ways to expand our empathy to our community, global levels of society, and the natural world

More than ever, reflects Karla McLaren, the time for empathy has come. The Art of Empathy brings welcome, practical guidance for mastering this essential life skill.

Author:

I'm Karla McLaren. I'm an author, social science researcher, and empath, which means I know that I read emotions. I worked as an empathic healer for twenty-five years, and I once thought that my empathic skills were mystical. However, I questioned that and returned to college in 2004 to learn about the roots of my empathic skills. I discovered that empathy is a natural human ability, but it looks magical because most of us are so confused about emotions.
