Summary
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.

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.

A must read for every human-being!!
An informative yet light-hearted way to explore Empathy in its many forms.
Contains a vast amount of tools and resources to practice in everyday interactions whilst supplying real-world examples every step of the way. I can't wait to start re-training my brain! I feel I now understand my own anger, frustration, guilt, shame, sadness and coping strategies so much more whilst also being mindful of how I can support others close to me in a more productive way. Thank you so much...a book that has and will continue to change my life in ways I never thought possible, I'm sure of it!

Good to know
I wanted to really know how I could cope with my emotions as well as understand others and how to think about and respond to emotionally charged situations.
I think this book goes a long way in recognising how true empathic emotions arise. It is helping me to give myself space to recognise, understand and respond to emotions in a reliable and safe way.

A must study for humanity!
If only her teachings would be taught in schools there would be less stress, anxiety, misunderstandings in the world. but then of course with more balanced well communicating people walking our planet consumerism and sales of products which rely on all these weak emotional states to drive profits would one day dry up and comrporatilns seas to exist.

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.

Great Audiobook
The author has great insights and explains her point of view so clearly without patronising listeners which is a hard line to tread. Her naration is very good as well, it just feels like you are having a nice chat rather than someone lecturing at you.

Loved everything about this
One of the best audiobooks I've listened to. Wonderful delivery from Karla, she's so warm and refreshing to hear, and her words were really valuable. I hadn't heard of her before but will look up her other books on the basis of this one.
