Summary:
Empathy has never been more important, yet we're living in an era of a massive empathy deficit. At the same time, workplace culture has changed dramatically. Leaders, who have already been stretched to the limit, are now being called on to create and nurture genuine connection, psychological safety, and well-being across their organizations. As this book shows, human beings are wired to care, and we can become more empathetic with practice. Leveraging empathy on purpose can lead to better health, happier and more productive workplaces, and a more meaningful life. That's why empathy is our superpower. Through inspiring stories, interviews with experts, a new model rooted in positive psychology and coaching, and self-development exercises at the end of each chapter, this book offers wisdom and practical advice to foster personal, organizational, and social transformation.
