I am overly emotional and empathic and feel saddened at any news story or tragedy, even on the other side of the planet. Although empathy is good it is making me depressed, nihilistic and weak. I want to become mentally stronger, but many of the books about becoming tough seems somewhat toxic and individualistic or social-darwinistic centric.
Are there any books that can help make me more mentally tough, but to not disregard empathy or the suffering of the world to make myself better?
I want to be able to become mentally tougher so I can act on my empathy.
