If someone opens up about a challenge in life they're facing, what's the proper response?
In "The Gift of Empathy: Helping Others Feel Valued, Cared for, and Understood," co-authors Ken Haugk and Joel Bretscher argue that it all starts with empathy.
We discuss what it takes to emphasize with someone else and their research into how to develop this life skill.
Haugk is the founder and executive director and Bretscher is program director at Stephen Ministries.
