"What is the difference between having empathy and being an empath? "Having empathy means our heart goes out to another person in joy or pain," says Dr. Judith Orloff. "But for empaths it goes much further. We actually feel others' emotions, energy, and physical symptoms in our own bodies, without the usual defenses that most people have." The Empath's Survival Guide is an invaluable resource for empaths and anyone who wants to nurture their empathy and develop coping skills in our high-stimulus world--while fully embracing their gifts of intuition, compassion, creativity, and spiritual connection. This practical, empowering, and loving book was created to support empaths through their unique challenges and help loved ones better understand the empath's needs and gifts "--Amazon.com.

This book was so insightful. I marked as DNF because after a certain point, it stopped being relevant to me personally so I stopped reading (or listening because it was an audiobook).
I listened to this as an audiobook and was not a fan of the narrator (I give the audiobook 3 stars because of this factor). I wish Judith narrated it or that I simply read the physical book. I almost always love anything to do with empaths and highly sensitive people even though they seem to be so very similar—I constantly need the reminders and validation that there is nothing wrong with who I am and how I function in this overstimulating world of ours.
