Is empathy your superpower?: Anita Nowak

Anita Nowak, author, professor and empathy expert wants everyone to
understand the life-changing nature of empathy. In her new book,
Purposeful Empathy, Nowak says we’re all born with the capacity for
empathy but we can choose to strengthen this innate trait. With
something as simple as smiling to strangers in public, we can flex
our empathy like a muscle. For Nowak, a strong sense of empathy can
teach us to be kinder to ourselves while making the world a more
understanding place.
