The quote above certainly does a good job of describing empathy. Those who nurture heightened empathy feel through the hearts of others, listen to, and perceive the plight of others as their own.
If you can relate to this, and you have a heightened sense of sensitivity that makes you extremely compassionate and overwhelmed at the same time, you are an empath.
After reading this book, you will feel empowered to take steps toward being more assertive and outspoken about your needs, focus on gratitude and let go of anger, and, treat your sensitive nature as a gift.
