This has a great chapter about empathy. It alone is worth buying the book.

I’m not usually one for self help books but this one resonated with me. So much of what the authors say rang true in many aspects of my relationship. I learned as much about myself as about my partner. I would recommend this for everyone whether or not you feel you need help it.
