A Revolutionary Guide for Understanding and Changing the Way We
Connect
Empathy is undergoing a new evolution. In a global culture, we can no
longer afford to identify only with people who seem to be a part of our
group. "We are all connected on a neurobiological level far more than we
have previously realized," says Dr. Helen Riess. "Consciously or not, we
are in constant, natural resonance with one another's feelings."
With The Empathy Effect, Dr. Riess shares a definitive resource on
empathy: the science behind how it works, new research on how empathy
develops from birth to adulthood, and tools for building your capacity
to create an authentic emotional connection with others in any
situation. Here, she will guide you through her breakthrough
E.M.P.A.T.H.Y.(R) program, a powerful seven-step system to learn how to:
● Recognize and promote empathic behavior in yourself and others
● Parent and teach empathy in kids--including guidance for every stage
of development
● Explore empathy through art and literature--and discover the power of
creative expression to expand our emotional experience
● Lead with empathy by combining compassion with efficiency through
group empathy skills and shared mind intelligence
● Reverse scapegoating by recognizing our shared humanity with those we
usually keep at a distance
"Nourishing empathy lets us help not just ourselves," says Dr. Riess,
"but also everyone we interact with, whether for a moment or a
lifetime." The Empathy Effect is a life-changing book that will
revolutionize the way you understand yourself, relate to your loved
ones, and connect to every person in your life.
