Our brains are hardwired for empathy so you would expect that we would encounter it often in our day-to-day interactions–but we don’t! In Empathy Warriors, an interactive journal workbook for everyone ages twelve to adult, educator Tedi Ware explains why giving and receiving empathy happens so infrequently and what we need to do to access and use our innate capacity for it. She then goes on to teach her readers, in concrete and easy to follow ways, exactly how to practice empathy, teach it to others, and make it the foundation of all their relationships. Tedi Ware shares her own story of a painful adolescence when empathy was missing from her life and how she developed a compulsive eating disorder as a means of coping with her loneliness and isolation. Tedi Ware provides her readers with life-enriching techniques that show them how to empower and protect themselves as they build their own empathy-based communities that nurture and sustain all members. Tedi lovingly accompanies her readers on their journeys of becoming happy, confident Empathy Warriors.
