Resumen del Editor

Some of us are natural-born empaths - those with an exceptional gift for feeling and understanding the emotions, circumstances, and needs of others. But empathy, teaches Karla McLaren, is a universal human skill that we can all learn to awaken and use wisely. With The Art of Empathy, you will learn, step-by-step, the art of experiencing through the eyes and hearts of those around you - and to connect with and support them most effectively. Drawing on insights spanning social psychology, current brain research, and traditional healing and spiritual wisdom, this acclaimed teacher and author shows us how to:

• Discover and strengthen this natural social and emotional ability
• Prepare for empathy training by learning to identify and regulate our emotions and boundaries
• Move into the felt experience of others with authenticity and respect
• Stay rejuvenated on the empathic path through grounding, healthy boundaries, and replenishing with joy
• Improve our intimate relationships, parenting efforts, and workplace issues
• Expand empathy into our communities and the natural world

As our social landscape and ways of connecting continue to shift and evolve rapidly, empathy may be the most essential skill for navigating our emotional and interpersonal lives. The Art of Empathy provides us with the insights and training to master its many dimensions.

Absolutely Love this woman and book.

Easy to listen, very pleasant voice, very logically filled with detailed words and emotion. Grateful.

Phenomenal!

An absolute must read! Karla McLaren is an excellent author, she speaks/writes in such an accessible, authentic way, you feel like she is next to you just having a chat. Her message and tools are powerful and very applicable to everyday life. If you are considering it, just do it. You won't regret it! Would have loved to get the audiobook of her book 'The Language of Emotions' but unfortunately it is not available for purchase in Australia.

sometimes, empathy is more vital than a solution

Best book listened this year. those laughters in between made it more empathetic. definitely will listen it again.

A must read for everyone

Increadibly insightful. No matter your current level of empathy, emotional intelligence or stability, this book will move you several steps forward.

Performance 💯

On top of the amazing content (literally life changing), the author absolutely crushed it with her performance. It felt like a conversation rather than listening to someone read from a book. I loved it.

Immensely helpful

Very good for foundational understanding of emotions and how to handle them. Highly recommended to anyone interested in the subject.

Fans of Compassion - try Empathy and Compassion!

Would you listen to The Art of Empathy again? Why?

Yes. There is so much information in this book. Karla McLaren seems to be creating a whole department of learning, with all of these brand new terms, and it is totally okay, in fact it is brilliant. So read it again and take notes.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character is the young Karla. I imagine her whispering to dogs as she sits under the table free of stimulus, because dogs are without judgment and love you no matter what.

What did you learn from The Art of Empathy that you would use in your daily life?

I learned you can present as completely uninterested and actually be burnt out empathetically but highly empathetic.

Great book on emotions, connection, and empathy

Loved the book. Great job at explaining emotions and how they allow us to connect. It helped me grow my own capacity for empathy!

awesome and very helpful , Karla did a great job

awesome and very helpful , Karla did a great job as narrator , highly recommended. Empathy is critical for self and other acceptance, loved it

Just woah!

I loved this book. I've learnt so much! thank you for sharing Karla for helping me take my first steps into intentional empathy. My emotional partner is a hyper empath and I've always struggled to understand her. I decided to read this book as part of my commitment to be better and more supporting. It has definitely made me more aware of her needs and also my own! Some readers might find the book only helpful during the last 2 sessions because they are more hands on empathy how-to, but coming from a complete lack of emotional education I really appreciated the first 4 "intro" sessions into the world of emotions.
