Twelve perspectives and recipes to bring your community together

Ingredients of Empathy offers a practical guide to understanding, developing, and sharing empathy. It breaks up a complex topic into easy-to-digest themes and offers real-life examples of what to say and what not to say when helping others through life's most difficult situations.

Authors Ana Lúcia Correia and Pam Gonçalves warn us about the declining empathy index in society and how each one of us can reverse the trend by bringing light to a dark world, one person at a time. Common roadblocks to building empathy and learning how to receive empathy highlight some of the challenges we face.

Since sharing a meal offers a simple way to show empathy, Ingredients of Empathy includes some of our favorite recipes that can serve as a conversation starter, where we do most of the listening. Together, we can increase empathy and make the world a better place, starting with ourselves.
