The Happy Empath: A Survival Guide for Highly Sensitive People Paperback - 2019

From the publisher

Lift the weight of emotions, soothe your sensitive nature, harness your empathic gift

You know how it feels: You're in a meeting, or on the bus, and realize you're picking up the emotional state of the person next to you. Life as an empath can feel overwhelming, but The Happy Empath gives you tools to help you navigate charged emotional territory--and stay even-keeled even in stormy moments.

High sensitivity can be a valuable gift, and this guide will help you harness and strengthen your skills as an empath while reducing stress and distraction. From the office to home and even online, you'll learn to protect yourself in 19 different everyday environments--and deepen your relationships with those you encounter.

The Happy Empath includes:

• What color are you?--Take the "Rainbow Quiz" to identify your type of empath, then follow the color-coded tips for working with your specific strengths.
• Empath tools--Get ideas for handling delicate situations: stuck between two friends arguing, sitting with a chatty stranger on an airplane, and more.
• Journal your progress--Handy blank pages make it easy to record your sensory reactions, thoughts, and observations to help track your development.
