Empathy, the Path to Peace

Empathy brings us together in ways that make healing possible. It is a vital skill for creating kindness in the world. It helps us connect with other's feelings so that we can be truly kind and not just nice or polite.

Just what is empathy? And how do we practice it?  

The power of empathy: Helen Riess at TEDxMiddlebury 

Brene' Brown makes it simple:

 We can change our world when we begin to be more empathetic. Seeing through another's perspective it is easier to find solutions to problems and to make peace with the people in our lives. Living with empathy enriches us.
