May Empathy Lead to Sense of Purpose Through Tenacity?

By: Antonio E. Morales-Pita, PhD

In the introduction, this author analyzes and summarizes three successful authors about empathy and sense of purpose, such as Keep Sharp Build a Better Brain at Any Age by Sanjay Gupta, The Purpose of Driven Life, which was a best seller, written by Rick Warren, and The Art of Empathy by Karla McLaren.

This book is one of the few, or maybe the first one, in dealing with the triple interaction of empathy, sense of purpose and tenacity.

Can empathy, sense of purpose, and tenacity be inherited?

Why is it impossible to be defeated by procrastination if the individual possesses the trio empathy, sense of purpose and tenacity? Which one of them is the most effective in overcoming procrastination?

Dr. Morales analyzes the consequence of being empathetic from the executor's and the recipient's standpoints.

Is it possible to be simultaneously empathetic but neither tenacious nor lacking sense of purpose?

Which was the most convincing proof of Gladys Morales' immense empathy?

Can the combination of the trio "empathy-sense of purpose-tenacity" be powerful enough to allow a person not to grieve after his/her most loved one's decease?
