Most people, including many policy makers, activists, scientists, and philosophers, have encouraged us to be more empathetic - to feel the pain and pleasure of others. Yale researcher and author Paul Bloom argues that this is a mistake. Far from leading us to improve the lives of others, empathy is a capricious and irrational emotion that appeals to our narrow prejudices. It muddles our judgment and often leads to cruelty. We are at our best when we are smart enough not to rely on it and draw upon a more distanced compassion.

But empathy, teaches Karla McLaren, is a universal human skill that we can all learn to awaken and use wisely.

Exceptional way of explaining emotions.
I confess that it took me a while to find a book that would talk about empathy without being mystic or with too much emphasis on low empath people.
I love the fact that the author went after the science behind empaths and developed this depicted and careful explanation and a training of your own level of empathy.
It was touching and smart and bright and very insightful.
I'm so glad I found this book!

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.

Wow, amazing!
Loved this book! Thank you Karla for your extensive research but mostly for sharing your findings and personal story. If you have read her other book Language of Emotions you might think some parts are repetitive but in my opinion these are required to put her point across. The last chapter where she talks about workplace empathy was very significant to me and it also summarized her work in a practical way.

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.

Best book on emotions
I was looking for a book to help me increase my empathy. This book certainly helped in that, but the hidden gem inside that I didn't expect were the chapters in the beginning on emotions. What are they, and what should we do with them. Those were an eye opener, and those chapters (2 and 3) alone are worth reading the book. The subsequent chapters are decent, but can be a bit long for the amount of information they convey.

What made the experience of listening to The Art of Empathy the most enjoyable?
Karla is American and has such a lovely voice to listen to. This audible book is so interesting.
What did you like best about this story?
Very educational. I've learnt so much.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No
Any additional comments?
This is definitely worth a listen. I'm training to become a counsellor in the UK and The art of Empathy has been a God send, especially for the work around emotions.

Thought-provoking, and beautifully read.
What made the experience of listening to The Art of Empathy the most enjoyable?
I found the author's voice very engaging and easy to listen to - something that is not typical of most reference/self-help books.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I could easily have listened to it in one sitting - it was fascinating!
Any additional comments?
This has been a *really* useful book for me as a trainee counsellor.

It is not funny
Could not finish it, I found the giggling very disconcerting, as a result could not take it seriously.
