Empathy

Having spent the past decade studying empathy, I can say without hesitation that Roman’s work is exactly what we need to bring this powerful concept off the pages and into our lives. Empathy inspires with a unique combination of teaching, storytelling, and a serious call to action. * Brené Brown, bestselling author of Daring Greatly *
Empathy explores the essence of being human…inspiring, fascinating and helpful. * Rick Hanson, author of Hardwiring Happiness and Buddha’s Brain *
