"As someone who works in the mental health space and supports people trying to find their way back to themselves, this book stood out. Dr. Robinson-Winemiller offers a powerful case for empathy, not just as a skill or phrase but as a necessary leadership tool that can shape culture, reduce burnout, and increase connection.
