Bestes Zitat aus Building Your Empathy Superpower: A Better You
“
Empathy isn't just a fixed trait you're born with; it's actually like a muscle that can be strengthened through practice. When we develop this superpower of understanding, we aren't just becoming better partners—we are contributing to our own deeper sense of meaning and creating ripple effects in our communities.
