Your book has awakened in me some concepts and feelings that I knew intuitively but I didn't know how to give a theoretical explanation. After reading you, one of these concepts is definitely Empathy.

When I discovered you on Instagram I was glad to know that there was someone out there talking about empathy, one of the pillars of highly sensitive people traits of character. The discovery of empathy has brought a revelation of a capacity that lives within me and that I have had since I was little. I live with empathy in the process of seeing my child grow and I wasn't ready to give it the importance it deserves as it requires me to learn how to manage my energy.

In this important learning, the art of empathy is a complete guide, practical and with a holistic approach. It doesn't matter how well you know a trait or a personal condition if you don't do the work. Those who are highly sensitive we are really good at living inside our heads but oh boy if we need to get to the action...To progress, this is a perfect book, full of exercises, ready to work deeply on managing effectively your emotions and energy. There is a before and after guaranteed.

When you start reading “El Arte de la Empatía” you connect easily with her author, Meritxell. With an easy to understand language and her closeness she introduces us to the world of empathy and high sensitivity. This book is based on empathy, but not only for those people considered empathic, but also for relatives or friends you want to understand better that person or to connect with that part of us that sometimes is asleep and we pay no attention to. Although we are conscious that we are disconnected sometimes we don't understand what is really happening.

Meritxell encourages us to start a self discovery trip: to stop, to observe, to listen and question yourself, get to new conclusions and perspectives to live new experiences and make those changes that you have been yearning for but you dont end up knowing exactly how to make it happen because you don't have the tools or the guidance you need. El Arte de la Empatía can be that guide, that lighthouse and you can use it in the best way that will apply to you. The book offers multiple resources to work different aspects that influence directly our wellbeing and quality of live. A book for empaths, for those around them who want to understand them better but also for people with their empathy asleep who want to awaken it. A book for everyone.

From my point of view “El Arte de la Empatía” is the best book about High Sensitivity that I have read. In other books I have read about the topic, you can find clinical studies, history and tests among others that we can find on a search on Google. For me, Meritxell tells us her story, she opens her heart, her soul and her mind, she lets us inside her and shares the tools that have worked for her, gives us scientific studies and trusted information. The richest in this book is that we can find more than 50 exercises and tools that will help us progress emotionally and solve anything that limits our soul.

After walking us through her experiences and how she came to recognize herself as an empath, Meritxell shares with us a subset of tools to deal with the trait that she has learned through her reading research and her own experience. The exercises to progress are especially useful. They guide you step by step in a very practical way that any empath with a high sensitivity degree in a journey of self discovery will put to good use. Her honest and approachable tone is without a doubt an assured connection with a reader that feels identified with this personal trait.

The art of empathy is an inspiring book, useful and easy to read. She takes us through a path of discovery, reflection and hope, a map or a travel itinerary that shows us the path to a healthier and harmonic life being in our own nature. All this from her author, that guides us wholeheartedly and emphatically at the same time that shares her energy and enthusiasm. As a professional psychotherapist, I recognise the capacity Meritxell has to explain in an elegant and simple manner complex and abstract concepts. She gives to the readers endless resources and tools coming from different areas but all oriented to harvest empathy in all its forms, starting with the empathy for ourselves. I consider this book a valuable resource for highly sensitive people
