Empath Empowerment in 30 Days
Are you among the 1 in 20 people born as an empath?
Then you’re a Highly, Highly Sensitive Person, ultra-perceptive. Only... ever notice? Seemingly beyond your control, being an empath can weaken your sense of “Who am I?”
What happens when you start seeking solutions?
Many empaths try approaches that don't work. And can't work. Like constantly monitoring your energies. Or scaling down your activities—and ambitions. (As if you've got some kind of energetic disability and must learn to resign yourself.)
Ridiculous!
Empaths, you can do better. What you need is skill. The kind of skill that positions your flexible empath’s consciousness to support you better.
Let Rose Rosetree teach you the unique skills of Empath Empowerment®. You’ll learn easily... just 10 minutes a day. Simply read one short chapter and do a bit of homework, flexing your consciousness muscles. After 30 days, you’re a skilled empath. That simple.
Yes, simple.
Lighthearted in style, while seriously helpful in content, this delightful book will help:
• Learn which empath gifts you have.
• Understand the slightly icky truth about “unskilled empath merge”—which you’ve probably been doing, subconsciously, every day of your life.
• Realize how easy it is, stopping that empath’s reflex that junks up an aura.
You’ll even explore techniques for “Skilled Empath Merge.” Where you turn all your empath gifts ON... purposely and safely... tasting true Otherness.
Come explore America’s only trademarked system for helping empaths lead more fulfilling lives. Watch your relationships blossom. Develop a stronger sense of self than you've ever known.

This is the best introductory book for empaths, no question.
July 18, 2020
Rose's book guides you through the process of becoming more aware of who you are as an empath, and what your specific gifts are.
As an empath you naturally have the ability (through one of your gifts) to experience what is like to be someone else (e.g. emotionally, physically, intelelctually)or what an environment/animal/plant/crystal is like, on a subconscious level.
Unfortunately if you are an empath you have being doing this subconsciously all your life, and in the mean time picking up STUFF (emotional or physical pain etc) that wasn't yours.
For myself, this led me to be unsure and not very confident in my own identity, over identifying with other people's emotional pain and always feeling a background degree of anxiety about who I was in social situations. I felt enough as a person (I do a lot of things etc) but not enough of a person, my sense of self wavered from day-to-day and also depended to a certain extent on who I was with.
Rose's techniques has helped me to be calm and confident in my own identity, helping me to progress in all my goals and be more effective in my relationships (As well as more enjoyable to be around!).
And Rose also includes a technique for using your gifts consciously. In a way where you are aware of and languaging your experience and also safe from picking up STUFF from others!
Life before being a skilled empath can be very tough and life can be a daily struggle. Having learned Rose's method, my life has gotten better and better and I can say that my daily life is so much more calm and joyful in a way I would have thought would have taken me decades to achieve had I listened to conventional wisdom.

This book helps you get your life back!! I'd already read the older version of this book, but this updated version is fantastically clear and fantastically simple. It really is so very easy - just read a page a day for 3o days, with a bit of homework most days. What I really like is there is no complaining, victimhood, "oh woe is me" etc etc etc - just straightforward steps to a stronger sense of self as an Empath!

Essential learning for empaths
This book is a fundamental tool for every empath on the planet. Without it, these skills can cause lots of pain and confusion. It’s like walking around in the dark, bumping into sharp corners and breaking lamps. After reading this book, I felt like I had turned on the lights in that room, and now I can see everything so clearly. Thank you, Rose! And please get a better editor next time. It’s got some real problems with typos.

[This is my review for "Empowered by Empathy" which is an older edition of this book, that now has been combined in the listing I see]. Although"Empowered by Empathy" is now out of date (language and terminology) and Rosetree has removed it from circulation, it was the first book ever published on Empaths and how to thrive as an Empath. It also taught so many techniques for using empath gifts. It was really groundbreaking in its day but I would recommend reading her more recent Empath Empowerment series rather than this one.

This book changed my life. It teaches valuable information you won’t find anywhere else. Thank you for writing this book. If it seems like you’re more sensitive than other people, I encourage you to take Rose’s questionnaire to determine if you’re an empath.

This is the earlier edition of Empath Empowerment in 30 Days. I love this series!
March 3, 2024
In my opinion, this is THE best book for Empaths. The whole Empath Empowerment series by Rose Rosetree is the best, actually.
This is the first book in the series. It helps you learn what an Empath really is, what Empath gifts you have, and then how to turn your Empath gifts off.
(You learn how to turn them *on* in the last book of the series, "The Master Empath". There Rosetree teaches an amazing technique called "Skilled Empath Merge".)
Part two of "The Empowered Empath" dedicates a chapter to each of 15 different Empath Gifts. You can have one or several and still be considered an Empath.
I found these chapters so illuminating. I discovered that I have several Empath Gifts. And there are several I definitely *don't* have! This kind of refinement in education for empaths - knowing about these particular gifts - is so valuable. It really helped me understand myself better.
In Part Three of the book, Rosetree teaches how to turn your Empath Gifts off. I was really relieved at how simple it is, and how effective. And how not-weird. Though I wanted to learn, I was slightly-slightly worried that I would be turning of my sensitivity or my perceptiveness. But definitely not! I still feel totally like me. Just with less "Imported STUFF" junking me up and making me miserable.
Grateful for this book. Very happy that I found it after reading several other books that didn't work for me.

Rose Rosetree’s books for empaths stand alone in this field.
Rose offers techniques that work - consistently, safely, and without fuss.
Being an unskilled empath can be very uncomfortable! I personally found it quite painful and confusing.
I read Rose's book, learned what the problem was, learned the techniques, and do them exactly as Rose prescribed.
Now my empath gifts just don't cause problems for me any more - they are switched OFF until I decide I want to use them.

Filled with important skills for empaths to be more effective in the world, get along better with others, and have a stronger sense of self.
No matter who else is around or what else is happening.

This book has changed my life!
If you want to be sure that you're an empath or not, I highly recommend a personal session with Rose. After learning that I was an empath, this book and the other ones in the series of Empath Empowerment, were monumental for me for gaining much stronger sense of self.
I love that this book is so practical and teaches it's readers systematic step by step practical approach. The steps are fairly easy to do and yet the impact has been life changing for me. I learned so much about myself and what it is to being born an empath.
Thanks to Rose, I don't see being an empath as being weak or a victim. Quite the opposite. Throughout this book, Rose thought me how to be a Skilled Empath and gain much empowerment in the process. I see the strength and beauty of being born an empath.

This is the first book I have read that totally focused on empathy. I have known I was empathetic at least since my early 20s but never knew what to do with it. I knew it was a gift but sometimes it felt like a curse. This book is full of ways to be a skilled empath, instead of an unskilled one. Awareness and practice is key. After reading this book I am determined to be a skilled empath, one who uses her gifts and knows how to turn it off. Never do I want to be at the whim of others emotions ever again.

I just recently learned about my gift of empathy even though deep down I've always known it was there. This book is refreshing as it teaches you that you are not crazy. It also helps you to refine your skills to use them to the best benefit around you with out giving too much of yourself. The perfect book for those who want to strengthen themselves and their skills.

This book, and the previous versions, have been essential in my becoming a Skilled Empath. I remember the first time reading through Rose's Empath Empowerment series of books, many years ago. If you, like me, have come to realize that you may be an Empath, then I can't recommend Rose's books on this topic with a higher regard. They are life changing. Becoming a Skilled Empath, learning what it means to live with a stronger sense of self, this improvement in your quality of life is priceless.

As an empath, this book was a revelation in understanding my gifts and gaining useful skills to become a more informed and effective human being. Rose's insights and techniques are a gift to help strengthen our sense of self and be grounded in our lives. The practical results are evident in my work, health and relationships. I come back to this book often and get more from it with each reading.
June 23, 2023
Such a great read for any Empath. Empath Empowerment, as taught by Rose Rosetree, really helps Empaths discover their own sense of self. There's no need to set up "boundaries", or create "energy shields" to protect yourself. Rose doesn't teach any of that. This is a skillset unlike others that may support such ideas.

This books gives more specificity to the term "empath" and provides real solutions for living as a "skilled empath."

When I first read "Become the Most Important Person in the Room" (an earlier edition of "Empath Empowerment in 30 Days") I was such a mess - and it totally transformed my life!
It gave me the huge gift of a much stronger and more stable sense of self, by becoming what Rosetree calls a "Skilled Empath." These skills made such a different in my life, and are so easy to do, that I've kept up with them for over a decade. Totally invaluable for an Empath.

This book is so packed with incredible insights about being an Empath, what it technically means, and what a spiritual gift it is. Every time I open this book I learn something delightful.

The original Empath Empowerment book by Rose Rosetree! Such a gem. Rose started the whole field of Empath Empowerment. Her system gives true, everlasting results! I can vouch from experience.

I loved reading this book!! As a skilled empath I gained so many insights and knowledge.
This is the first time I have read this version, “Empath Empowerment In 30 Days”, as this book wasn’t written when I was an unskilled empath. The other book which is now obsolete was called “Become The Most Important Person In The Room”.
Empath Empowerment in 30 days has been very educational to me. I learned so much more about positioning consciousness and how important that is to learning to be a skilled empath.
All 30 days are laid out to build on to each other. Each day has its own assignment, and the assignments are designed to learn different skills, insights and knowledge that build on each other. These knowledge and skills are designed to help you to become, not just more skilled as an empath, but also gain more knowledge as to why these skills are important. It is recommended that one chapter is read each day with the intention of completing each assignment.
If you believe you are an Empath, please read this book. It will help you become even more resourceful and give you a stronger sense of who you are.

This is an amazing book that really does help empaths!
The techniques you will learn in this book are actually effective, and clearly explained.
Rose Rosetree provides excellent explanations the whole way through, with lots of information and step-by-step instructions.
My life has changed tremendously for the better since I became a skilled empath.
There’s a lot of books around to help empaths, but this is the only one I’ve found that can really make a difference.

Rosetree offers some very useful tips and exercises to teach highly empathetic people how to return the focus of their energy and experience back to themselves, as well as how to use their empathetic gifts intentionally. The book is broken up into daily exercises, which helps the reader from becoming overwhelmed as s/he develops new practices. I even took a long break from the book and returned to it when I felt ready. The author approaches the subject with much humor. Not all of the content resonated with me, but the reader can take what works best for themselves in practice, and leave the rest.

Just bad writing. This is the worst book I've ever read, clearly authored by a paranoid narcissist. What small amount is accurate is just regurgitated from other people's extremely familiar writing and the rest is flat out made up. What's weird is, this book's content is basically plagiarized from other people's work and just reworded and what's weirder is it seems to be writing by the other energy workers she bashes and insults on her website. No enlightened awakened person would be paranoid and slam people or ideas the way this lady does. Rosetree claims she coined the process of awakening and labeled 2012 as "the big year" for the world. How convenient it was also the end of the Mayan calendar. People have been talking about that for centuries yet she acts like she invented the idea. Even the title of the book is narcissistic "become the most important person in the room." It's more than clear the list of people she's copying, I've read their writing. Put this dog down.

Empath Empowerment in 30 Days is a non-fiction self-help book.
Its aim is to provide tools for people who become emotionally drained when around others, particularly if they’ve been trying to help and support say, a friend or family member. The author focuses on a spiritual skill where the unskilled empath merges with another person’s aura and becomes exhausted by the experience.
The 30 day programme of self-help is designed to put an end to the energy drain and instead make the reader feel like they are the most important person in the room.
The opening chapters grabbed my interest, I have had friends who left me utterly exhausted from just an afternoon of tea and gossip. I wasn’t able to read this book in a 30 day period, in fact it took me several months to finish the book. I also found it hard to read in kindle format as several times I wanted to turn back to parts that I needed to refresh on. I even started reading the book from the start a second time, because I couldn’t remember everything.
There was some good parts but I thought the book was over chatty as if the narrator and reader were at a live workshop. There’s also a lot of jargon created for the exercises, which become over-whelming.
Overall, this book is written for those with an interest in their empath skills, but I believe it would have worked better with a less is more approach.

I’ve read a lot of empath books, and this was the only one that actually made sense.
After 30 days my life was changed for the better. Recommended for empaths out there.

I am a few days shy of this 30-day program. I never realized reading a book could be so helpful in defining and supporting what an empath is and can become ~ when skilled. Each day provides a glimpse into an empath’s typical reality and then provides a simple consciousness positioning exercise that supports you in paying attention to yourself. Over thirty days of reading, you will gain many practical and easy to use skills. The ahas are so satisfying to me because they make sense and are not complicated by psychological jargon like needing to “protect my energies”. No, instead I find myself “waking up inside” as Rose Rosetree writes, in clear and uncomplicated ways, enhancing my human life.
Update: I finished the book. In a quiet way, no fanfare, I gave my first "Skilled Empath Merge" and reading per the instructions in the last chapters. It was a celebration. To enjoy my "status" as an empath and to do so after "30 days" (for me, more like three months, since it took as long as it took) is another quiet miracle of following the book. Actually, it is a re-program, because living like an unskilled empath felt "victim-like" while living as a skilled empath feels like growing into a life of great privilege.

I have several close friends who gushed to me about how much this book has helped them. Some of them have even completed the entire series so they can do Skilled Empath Merges.
I have taken Rose Rosetree’s workshop for HSPs. It was very helpful in terms of helping me to recognize my sensitivity as a talent, not a condition to manage. I learned when to use my sensitivity and when not to use it. As a result, I am able to enjoy my life more.
As an HSP, I am not as sensitive as an empath; therefore, I expect this book would make an even great impact for empaths than the workshop did for me.
