"Empathy is defined as the ability to perceive and be sensitive to the inner emotional and mental states of others (including animals), in combination with a motivation to care for their well-being."
"Empathy can also be nonverbal and present, for instance, as giving your friend a reassuring hug. As Brené Brown describes empathy, 'It's simply listening. Holding space. Withholding judgment. Emotionally connecting.'"
"Empathy is an essential component of everyday social interactions, and it contributes to our ability as a species to live together, communicate effectively, and coordinate in groups."
"Empathy increases prosocial behaviors, which help us build more caring and compassionate communities, including volunteering and sharing resources."
