The Compassionate Connection: The Healing Power of Empathy and Mindful Listening

You must be able to engage in compassionate, mindful listening if you want to connect with people and truly understand what they're going through. Dr. David Rakel describes the power of human connection and how it can be used to improve health and well-being in The Compassionate Connection, drawing on his clinical experience and the most recent scientific research.

You are frequently interrupted and inundated with tasks and stresses that cause you to feel disconnected from others. You not only strengthen your bonds with others when you learn to practice the healing power of compassion; you also do emotional and physical good for yourself.

The tools in this book will help you improve the quality of your connections, whether they are between a doctor and a patient, a husband and wife, a parent and a child, or a boss and an employee. Dr. Rakel uses his clinical experience as well as cutting-edge research findings to demonstrate the critical role of compassion in health and healing. He writes convincingly that anyone, not just doctors, can learn to develop compassionate connections with others and thus improve everyone's well-being.
