Empathic people put themselves in the other person's shoes so that they can gain a broader perspective, avoid personal bias, and see things in a more holistic way。

However, it is not easy to achieve empathy, and many people think that empathy is to sympathize and comfort others, which is a big misunderstanding。

What is true empathy and how can we achieve it? This book gives us specific theories and methods to explain it。

Read this book well, I believe you will certainly gain and understand。
