Thriving as an Empath: 365 Days of Self-Care for Sensitive People

I really enjoyed reading this book each day for the last year because it was helpful. Each day the author gives a different teaching which may not apply to the reader on that day, but it may be relevant later which is what I found. There were some great lessons in this book which were very helpful to me which really helped me in my life. I’ve recommended this book to many people, especially those in customer service. I noticed in the audio version there were two days missing, but they were in the Kindle book. This review is for both at once. March 28th is missing from the Audiobook. May 13th is missing from the Audiobook.

Whether you are an empath or sensitive person or going through a time of need, starting each day with a gentle reminder and explanation of our need for intentional acts of self-kindness has been a lifesaver for me and welcomed by those with whom I have shared.

I run a group on Facebook called "Attitude of Gratitude with Chronic Pain," and I purchased this book not only for myself, but because so many of our members identify as EMPATHS. I wanted to be able offer strategies to not take on "the weight of the world" as many of us do. The Moderators of the group each purchased a copy after I sent them a few readings, and we study and discuss each day's and all of the 'a-ha' moments that come along with each one. And let me tell you, those 'a-ha' moments are daily! We are absolutely IN LOVE with this book! I do a weekly live broadcast called, "Gratefully Living the Chronic Life" where each week is a different topic pertaining to living with purpose and fulfillment while dealing with chronic pain/illness. I have shown and referenced this gem of a book more times than I can count because they pertain to that week's topic. For many of us, we have been told all of our lives that we're "over sensitive." I certainly have! Thanks to "Thriving as an Empath" I now look at my deep feelings as a superpower and something to be proud of rather than embarrassed about! Judith's writing is thoughtful and uplifting for people like us! And although our empathy is not something to hide, she shows us ways where we can still keep our feelings and not taking on everyone else's feelings too. People living with physical and emotional chronic pain cannot afford to take on the feelings of the rest of the world. Thank you, Judith, for the gift of your writing and insight! It has been a complete game-changer for my Moderators and I and I cannot wait to spread more to the entire membership! I am NOT over-sensitive! I feel things deeply and that is not going to change! Thank you for offering your strategies on living peacefully and with balance. Buy this book! You will not be sorry. Lauren Zalewski "Attitude of Gratitude with Chronic Pain"

This is one of the best books I have ever read. Highly recommend for ANYONE who is an empath. Reading this book is like looking into a mirror. Dr. Orloff truly understands what it’s like to live as an empath and her inspiring and practical information provided is incredibly meaningful and helpful in your everyday life. She emphasizes on embracing our gift and giving us awareness that we aren’t alone with this journey. I also love that it’s broken up into 365 days of reading which is just perfect - Not too much to absorb all at once and allows me to focus more on the information provided each day.

The book is just what I thought it would be and is a nice hard cover book to read over and over 365 days a year. However, Amazon put it in a larger box with just one of those plastic bag thingies that have air inside of them, which BTW I've seen burst open on route, so they're basically USELESS to prevent damage. Thus, the book had ONE slightly bent corner due to it's being jostled about in a box with nothing to prevent it from getting banged around. Amazon, USE BUBLE WRAP OR BETTER PACKING MATERIAL FOR YOUR SHIPMENTS AS I'M TIRED OF GETTING DAMAGED GOODS FROM YOU. WHY SHOULD I PAY YOU TOP DOLLAR FOR DAMAGED GOODS? NEW ITEMS OUGHT TO ARRIVE IN 'NEW CONDITION' NOT BANGED UP!

I recommend this book to everyone not just empaths. It was a delight to spend a year with this book.

Easy to digest reminders of the joys and responsibilities of being an empath. Highly recommended to anyone with high sensitivities

Lifesaver for any empath.

Très inspirant!

So many great ways to create greater awareness, happiness and joy and truly embracing being a sensitive empath in the world. Thank you Judith.
