Empath: A Guide to Understanding, Defending & Nurturing Your Precious Gift
It takes all kinds to make the world. All souls on this planet have different strengths and weaknesses, distinct personality traits and temperaments, as well as different ways of seeing the world and living their lives. A curious quality unique to the human experience is the great capacity for empathy.
“Empaths” are highly sensitive people with the natural ability to feel and tap into others’ affective and cognitive states. Most empaths are born this way, though the skills can be cultivated with practice and may develop over the course of a lifetime. It means being able to deeply feel someone else’s experience to the point where separating one’s energy from someone else’s may be very difficult.
Recognizing oneself as an empath is not as easy or obvious as it would appear. These traits are typically present their whole lives but only accurately identified later on, if ever. The experiences of empaths are often confusing, and they may chalk it up to something that cannot be understood, or settle for an unsatisfying explanation.
This book is a practical guide intended to help empaths, someone who loves one, or anyone who’s simply curious about the subject and wants to learn more.
And more!

Pros:
-Tone is like a big sister telling you advice
-Good insight to beginning how to take care of yourself, specifically emotionally
-easy to read
-pretty cover art
-fair intro to some spiritual healing
-good emotional advice/insight
Cons:
-quality of advice seems to wane around chapter six in terms of consistency/knowledge in area
-sometimes somewhat vague/disorganized
-some minor editorial mistakes
-holistic healing tips that may not be accessible/possible for newbies (ex. smudging sage)
Notes:
-a fairly general intro to emotional management and healing, do not recall mentions of any intersectional differences, but acknowledges that everyone is different
