Wow. The review says it all. I agree that totally that sympathy is overlooked in contemporary parenting. I grew up in a broken home and still struggle with basic emotional things every adult should know. Books like these should be prioritized by parents. A must read for me.

I also appreciate how the book goes beyond the basics of empathy and delves into the concept of a growth mindset. This is an aspect of emotional intelligence that often gets overlooked, but it's so vital for personal and academic growth
