Description
Understanding how our bodies respond to others is a fundamental aspect of human intelligence. Dr Engel explores this phenomenon in "Another Self", revealing that feeling with others is an ancient strategy that enables us to predict the intentions of others.
This book delves into the science behind somatic empathy, explaining why we sometimes take on the physical, emotional, and mental states of those around us. From our reactions to a friend's cry to our intuition about someone's next words, Dr Engel sheds light on how these tendencies are not just quirks of sensitive individuals, but a natural part of human interaction.
By understanding somatic empathy, we can optimise our relationships and avoid the pitfalls of vicarious harm. "Another Self" offers insights into various domains, including mental and physical health, animal welfare, and personal wellbeing, inviting us to reassess our sense of self and our connections with others.
