1. Spend less time looking in the mirror and more time improving your character.
2. Be more focused on being morally correct and less on being politically correct.
3. Talk less and listen more, suspend your need for recognition and you’ll receive more of what you desire.
4. Curb your temper, aggression always reveals insecurity, assertion speaks to a desire to resolve difficulties.
5. Be other focused, give more without calculating your return and rich friendships will follow.
6. Realize the New Year will bring surprises, something will happen you could never predict, give up the desire to control all outcomes.
7. Expand your empathy, develop better listening skills and you’ll always attract quality people.
8. Regularly anticipate what would make those close to you feel special and take action.
9. Arrogance and entitlement, the “me focus” attitude will leave you alone and in despair.
10. Always remember that humility and gratitude will bring you respect, love and loyalty from others.

The Power of Empathy

Posted by docapc at 10:41 pm

The Power of Empathy shows how people can use empathy as an assessment tool in all their relationships. Empathy can signal when people are well-intentioned and when they are deceitful. It can shield people from manipulative strangers and strengthen the bonds between loved ones. It is an emotion that has been overlooked, underused, and misunderstood for too long. Both prescriptive and narrative, The Power of Empathy provides a practical framework for anyone to use empathy to better his or her life.

Dr. Arthur Ciaramicoli believes that empathy is the driving force behind love-and that its power goes vastly unrecognized by most people. His book, The Power of Empathy, is an important new resource for people who hope to enrich their emotional lives, improve their communication skills, and explore the spiritual dimensions of the human capacity for love. While traditional relationship books emphasize loving each other and oneself, Ciaramicoli and Ketcham argue that they overlook the critical fact that love itself needs help-and that empathy is the solution.
