Correct the power imbalances in your work and life with a
science-backed practice that combines the rigor of Stoic philosophy
with the relational impact of empathy.
Stoicism combined with empathy may sound like a contradiction in terms.
But when these seemingly opposing forces are harnessed together, they
have the power to change your life.
From surviving missile attacks and political oppression in Iran to
leading high-stakes legal teams and negotiations in corporate America,
Shermin Kruse's journey fuels her mission to merge empathy and stoicism
as tools for navigating power, justice, and human connection in every
facet of life. In this eye-opening book, she offers you this radical
perspective shift—anchored in up-to-the-minute research—to help you
navigate life's challenges with power and principles.
We often think of empathy as an emotional stance: we feel what someone
else is feeling. But Kruse outlines a form of empathy that’s based in
cognition, not emotion—a way for us to understand what the other person
is thinking and feeling while keeping a distance from their feeling
state—and shows us how we can strategically maneuver our level of
engagement from “emotional empathy” to “cognitive empathy” in different
circumstances. Then she utilizes Stoic philosophy and modern science to
outline the how of emotional regulation and control. The bridge she
builds between Stoicism and empathy gives us the knowledge and
discipline we need to:
- Calmly assess the power dynamics of any situation
- Understand and manage our own emotions as well as the emotions of
others
- Defuse danger and turn conflict into connection
- Skillfully steer a challenging conversation toward the result we
want
Whether you're a leader striving to succeed in your role with
integrity, an educator seeking to guide curious minds with compassion,
a parent nurturing resilience in your children, or simply facing a
personal or professional crossroads, Stoic Empathy is an essential
toolkit for negotiating success in every area of your life.
