The Empathy Deficit: Rebuilding Human Connection in an Angry, Divided World
By Dr. Richard L. Travis
In a culture fueled by outrage, echo chambers, and digital disconnection, one essential human trait is quietly vanishing: empathy.
In The Empathy Deficit, psychotherapist Dr. Richard L. Travis offers a compelling guide to understanding why empathy is breaking down-and how to bring it back. Blending science, storytelling, and practical tools, this book helps readers rediscover the courage to listen, repair, and connect in a divided world.
Whether you're a parent, educator, partner, leader, or simply a human trying to stay kind in the chaos, this book is a toolkit for emotional intelligence and meaningful change. With relatable real-life stories, guided reflection exercises, conversation scripts, and links to powerful online resources, The Empathy Deficit offers both insight and action.
In these pages, you'll learn how to:
  • Recognize the root causes of emotional burnout and numbness
  • Hold brave conversations without defensiveness or fear
  • Rebuild empathy at home, at work, and online
  • Practice listening that heals rather than fixes
  • Set compassionate boundaries without losing connection
If you're tired of polarization and hungry for more human moments, this is your roadmap to reconnect-with others, and with yourself.
