<p>Our country is divided in so many ways, with a growing chasm between men and women.</p><p>The news cycle is discouraging. Emotional and physical toxicity is at an all-time high. We&rsquo;re all starting to feel it in some shape or form, and many of us are struggling with how to keep our children protected from it all.</p><p>The problem is we&rsquo;re suffering from an empathy deficit.</p><p><strong>But the really good news is there&rsquo;s a way out.</strong></p><p>Healing starts with re-examining our modern myths about how we work, what &ldquo;quality time&rdquo; at home really means, and why the age-old battle of the sexes persists.</p><p>We can&rsquo;t continue down the path of least resistance. We need to carve a new way.</p><p><strong><em>Currency of Empathy</em></strong>&nbsp;sets the stage for that new way by tackling disturbingly common issues like:</p>
<ul>
<li>The fact that 70% of people say they are disengaged at work</li>
<li>The rise in anxiety and depression in children</li>
<li>The lack of women in leadership</li>
<li>And so many more headline-dominating crises!</li>
</ul>

<p>But here&rsquo;s the real kicker &ndash; it&rsquo;s not about gender &ndash; it&rsquo;s about nurturing empathy in our children and ourselves so we can help shape and mold happier, healthier, more productive communities and societies.</p>
<p><strong>What is the hope of this book?</strong>&nbsp;That we all start valuing caring &ndash; especially parenting &ndash; 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.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s that simple, even if it doesn&rsquo;t seem easy, but we&rsquo;re willing to bet this book is the motivator you&rsquo;ve been waiting for.</p>
