Ragnell’s Reviews > Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy > Status Update

Showed my boss the Antiwhiner technique, because I've used it a few times and found it really cuts down on stress.

I like this definition: "Empathy is the capacity to conceptualize the impact of what you do on yourself and on the other person, and to feel appropriate and genuine sorrow and regret without labeling yourself as inherently bad. Empathy gives you the necessary mental and emotional climate to guide your behavior in a moral and self-enhancing manner in the absence of the whip of guilt."

So far, this book is smarter than the shrink who gave it to me.
