About this listen

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.
