   Our country is divided in so many ways, with a growing chasm between men and women. The news cycle is discouraging. Emotional and physical toxicity is at an all-time high. The problem is we’re suffering from an empathy deficit. But the really good news is there’s a way out. Currency of Empathy sets the stage for that new way.What is the hope of this book? That we all start valuing caring – especially parenting – in a way that helps us reprioritize how we spend our time, grow the superpower of affective empathy in children and adults, and heal our empathy deficit.It’s that simple, even if it doesn’t seem easy. Currency of Empathy already at work:“The revolution of the future will hinge on the empathy-inducing \"co-creation\" explained so masterfully and entertainingly in these pages.\"“If someone feels that they could use some advice on improving their quality of life – this book is an answer.”“This book is academic without being dense and warm without being overly sentimental or new-agey.”\"… an uplifting, inspiring book. It makes you think. It makes you smile. And it makes you feel more hopeful than you did before you picked it up!”\"The book will cause you to self-examine. It will provoke you to think, and think again.”
