Learn how to embrace other people's feelings while validating your own with this guided workbook's 100+ writing prompts and activities. Empathy is the act of experiencing the world as you think or perceive someone else does. Many people try to improve their ability to empathize, with the goal of becoming a more compassionate, kind, and generous person. For empaths and highly sensitive people (HSPs), however, empathy can be debilitating. If you are an empath, you could actually be so highly empathic that you literally feel others people's feelings. This can lead you to becoming so focused on others and world events that you may struggle to focus on your own life, feelings, and goals. You may also experience empath fatigue, which leads to all kinds of physical and emotional problems that can detract from your ability to enjoy your life. If you are a highly sensitive person (HSP), you often feel overwhelmed by sensory input, which makes you sensitive to stimuli like noise, raging emotions, or seeing violence. You can become so affected by others' moods that overstimulation can cause nervous exhaustion. Whether you're an empath or an HSP, The Empowered Empath will show you how to validate the feelings of others while protecting your own feelings and experiences so you can ultimately heal.

The present volume is a continuation of the series Contemporary Philosophy. As with the earlier volumes in the series, the present Chronicles purport to give a survey of significant trends in contemporary philosophy. The need for such surveys has, I believe, increased rather than decreased over the years. The philosophical scene appears, for various reasons, more complex than ever before. The continuing process of specialization in most branches, the increasing contact between p- losophers from various cultures, the emergence of new schools of thought, particularly in philosophical logic and in the philosophy of language and ethics, and the increasing attention being paid to the h- tory of philosophy in discussions of contemporary problems, are the most important contributing factors. Surveys of the present kind are a valuable source of knowledge of this complexity. The surveys may therefore help to strengthen the Socratic element of modern philosophy, the intercultural dialogue or Kommunikationsgemeinschaft. So far, nine volumes have been published in this series, viz. P- losophy of Language and Philosophical Logic (Volume 1), Philosophy of Science (Volume 2), Philosophy of Action (Volume 3), Philosophy of Mind (Volume 4), African Philosophy (Volume 5), Medieval Age P- losophy (Volumes 6/1 and 6/2), Asian Philosophy (Volume 7), Philo- phy of Latin America (Volume 8), and Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art (Volume 9).
