About this ebook
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.
In this practical and empowering book for empaths and their loved ones, Dr. Orloff begins with self-assessment exercises to help you understand your empathic nature, then offers potent strategies for protecting yourself from overwhelm and replenishing your vital energy For any sensitive person who’s been told to “grow a thick skin,” here is your lifelong guide for staying fully open while building resilience, exploring your gifts of deep perception, raising empathic children, and feeling welcomed and valued by a world that desperately needs what you have to offer.

The core premise is correct, and it is nice to find common understanding here, but the book delve too much into spiritualistic fantasy. Further explanations don't prove that the author truly has grasp on the topic. It rather seems like hard cope, excuses and blaming external world for ones deficiencies. Answering yes to more of the 15 questions means that one either has no capacity to learning or has lived comfortable life with no true hardships in it. So, I was to assign any value to the text I would direct this book towards children, and ppl with low emotional intelligence who truly have difficulty with understanding their own emotions. And even then I am not sure whether justifications presented in the book will not do more harm than good to a reader.
