KARLA MCLAREN is an author, social science researcher, educator, and empath. She received a Bachelor’s in Social Science and Sociology in 2006, graduating summa cum laude as a national Phi Kappa Phi honors scholar. A special focus in her studies is the sociology of work and occupations because she is fascinated by the many ways in which the workplace reinforces emotional illiteracy. Her newest book and audio learning program (October, 2013) is The Art of Empathy: A Complete Guide to Life’s Most Essential Skill. It covers new research on empathy, her empathic approach to emotions and to being an empath, and hands-on support for developing (or calming down!) your empathic and emotional skills.

She says at the last one, workers fed her mother a steady dose of sedatives that kept her asleep most of the time.
