What is the difference between having empathy and being an empath? “Having empathy means our heart goes out to another person in joy or pain,” says Dr. Judith Orloff “But for empaths it goes much farther We actually feel others’ emotions, energy, and physical symptoms in our own bodies, without the usual defenses that most people have.” With The Empath’s Survival Guide, Dr. Orloff offers an invaluable resource to help sensitive people develop healthy coping mechanisms in our high-stimulus world—while fully embracing the empath’s gifts of intuition, creativity, and spiritual connection.

“This book explains not only the healing power of compassionate human connection, but in the most accessible and practical ways, how to cultivate our capacity to create that connection and thereby empower others to find their best selves.”—John Makransky, author of Awakening through Love All of us have an innate capacity for compassion. We recognize when others are hurting, and we want to help, but we’re not always good at it. There is another way. In The Compassionate Connection, Dr. David Rakel explains how we can strengthen our bonds with others—all the while doing emotional and physical good for ourselves. As founder and director of the University of Wisconsin Integrative Medicine program, Dr. Rakel discovered that we become the most effective helpers when we use the tool of human connection. Drawing on his own research and practice, as well as thirty years of published studies in medicine, sociology, psychology, meditation, and neuroscience, Dr. Rakel "stacks the deck" in favor of healing and introduces the concept of bio-psycho-spiritual authentic awareness. Not only are our bodies and minds connected, but also it has been scientifically proven that our capacity to feel beauty, awe, and compassion enhances our health and wellbeing. In The Compassionate Connection, Dr. Rakel provides an innovative approach to enhancing health in others and strengthening relationships through the art of connecting. These tools guide us to improve our connections—whether between doctor and patient, husband and wife, parent and child, or boss and employee—and live with clarity, wisdom, and good health.

"This book is overflowing with kindness, insight, depth and above all...love." - Katherine Woodward Thomas: New York Times Bestselling Author of Calling in "The One"If you are interested in deepening your emotional awareness and in developing your emotional intelligence in ways that enhance conscious co-creative living, then this book is for you. It is a drop of peace in the ocean of our busy lives. Do you understand the role that your emotions play in your capacity for free will and conscious living?Are you interested in the power of conscious choice?Do you feel as though you are in charge of the decisions that you make in your life, of navigating your own journey? Designed to be read in just 10-15 minutes a day for 7 days, this deeply philosophical and highly transformational book guides readers through a 7-day journey of emotional discovery and expanding spiritual relatedness. Each day, practical and pragmatic suggestions integrated with emotional insight deepen our understanding and awareness of the way in which empathy sits in relationship with spirituality and emotional intelligence, supporting us in enriching the quality of our personal well-being, our relationships and our everyday lives. Our emotions sit at the core of our ability to build successful, healthy relationships in all areas of our lives. They play a key role in our self-development and in our ability to navigate our lives through conscious choice and conscious intention. Empathy isn't simply a listening ear and something that we can offer others. In essence, true empathy is a state of being; a way of living that opens a pathway of spiritual relatedness with life itself. Spiritual empathy transforms our ability to relate with our full experience of life at a level of mindful and conscious awareness; awareness of ourselves, of others, and awareness of a greater, universal intelligence of which we are an integral and dynamic part. This is the first in a series of books about the intelligence of our emotions, each written to support and enable deepening layers of relational growth and understanding. Florence invites readers on a journey of self-discovery, beautifully combining conceptual knowledge of emotional intelligence with practical and pragmatic application. The format of the book is deliberate. Its bite-sized chapters make it accessible, easy to read and translatable into a kind of emotional toolkit that can pragmatically help to integrate emotional awareness into daily living in ways that will enhance all aspects of who we are and who we wish to become. Drawing on her extensive 25 year career as a therapist, Jenny Florence's books are a journey of self-awareness, connecting the intelligence and creative capacity of our mind with emotional knowledge and understanding. She has a unique ability to talk about the complexities of our mind and emotions in a language that is accessible and without jargon. "We cannot change our past but we can change our relationship to our past. In doing so, we create change within our present, which changes the shape of our future. If we work on the premise that we are the source of change, it becomes clear that we will need to listen to ourselves without fear or judgment." Our emotions are a powerful, human commodity. They can be our strongest, most supportive ally or they can disable us, leaving us feeling blocked, out of control and in pieces. Jenny believes it is our ability to listen and decide that will make the difference between a breakthrough or a break down.

How can we love our neighbors amid so much division and hurt? Loving your neighbor as yourself would be easy if your neighbors were all people you understood, people you agreed with, people like you. But what about playground bullies, colleagues, refugees, online adversaries? They're all our neighbors, and Jesus said to love them. Every one. But how? Lauren Casper believes the key is the lost art of empathy, stepping into other people’s shoes and asking what if?—what if it were my child? What if it were me? Casper helps us discover how to identify our blind spots and tune our hearts to the stories around us; seek and extend forgiveness with grace and humility; and engage in diverse and meaningful relationships. Following these steps will enable us to connect in simple but life-altering ways, to respond to conflict with grace, bring about needed change, and shine God’s unconditional love into a dark world.
