Empathy is being able to understand what other people feel, see things from their point of view, and imagine yourself in their place. Today (and every day) try to put yourself in someone else's position and feel what they must be feeling.
The library displays are filled with fabulous books , with fabulous stories and characters.
Reading broadens your perspective and especially reading about characters who have a POV different than your own and it can foster our well-being and resilience too. Find out more here.
"Good fiction creates empathy. A novel takes you somewhere and asks you to look through the eyes of another person, to live another life." Barbara Kingsolver.
Reading shows us how we can understand what others are thinking and feeling and let's us get to know them.
It helps us to develop emotional intelligence, critical thinking and empathy!
Happy Empathy Day .
