Regardless of whether you're an empath, this book may be useful to you. I think that there is a deluge of emotion around us all the time, from world tragedies to everyday interactions. We all need to protect ourselves so we can live our highest and best and bring those feelings to others.

The book is fairly simple. It offers a few strategies for helping yourself. It's really very basic, so if you have any experience with anything like this, you probably won't enjoy it. That's not to say I didn't walk away with nothing new, just not as much as I was hoping for.

I feel like the book repeats itself a lot. However, I read an author's response to a reader's comment on another self-help book, and he emphasized the need for repetition to encourage understanding. I don't like it, but I guess I can see the point.

I don't know that I would necessarily recommend this, but maybe if you have no other exposure to the concept it would be okay.
