About the Author

Rose Rosetree is the author of Empowered by Empathy: 25 Ways to Fly in Spirit.

It was the first full-length book for empaths in English, with translated editions in Spain, Japan, Russia and Turkey.

Two of Rosetree's previous books have been selections of One Spirit Book Club.

By Publication Day for Become The Most Important Person in the Room, Rosetree had made nine trips to Japan, teaching skills to empaths and doing personal sessions of healing.

Teaching for VOICE, Japan's leading seminar company, Rose's sessions were so popular that she set a record in the 27-year history of VOICE.

Rosetree's distinctive method of Empath Empowerment (TM) has been life-changing for readers and students.

It is completely different from approaches like strengthening boundaries, shielding, modifying behavior, avoiding toxic people, and other behavior-based attempts to keep people out.

Her system is actually much easier, as well as more effective, than these approaches.

Empath Empowerment helps a person to wake up from the inside. You can learn to use your consciousness to become more real to yourself, more vivid inwardly.

When you Become The Most Important Person in the Room, there's no need to put up walls to keep out other people. Find out how good you can feel as a Skilled Empath.

5.0 out of 5 stars get clear in your life!, November 16, 2009

By	suzmary "suzmary" (Brighton, MA) - See all my reviews

This is a life transforming book for those of us who are empaths and are prone to absorbing other people's emotional pain. Empaths may not even realize it is happening--I sure didn't--but spend much of their time feeling drained and tired as a result of picking up "stuff" from other people's auras. An empath can be sitting on a bus, lock eyes with someone and suddenly merge with that other person picking up all kinds of fear, anger, pain etc. from that other person. It is a kind of volunteer service that does not really help the other person--that other person will soon enough pick up more stuff. And in the meantime the empath becomes drained and less effective. Empaths routinely make other people the most important person in the room, hence the title. Through this book you will learn multiple techniques to become a skilled empath so that you will only merge with other people as a choice and so that you will become tuned in to your own inner experience.

As a result of reading this book and working with the exercises (it is an ongoing process--not a book that to read and put away) I have become much more aware of my interior landscape. Knowing what I am feeling (as opposed to what other people are feeling) and knowing what I am doing with my consciousness. Am I in intellectual mode? Feeling mode? Spiritual? Soulful? Mindful? Aware of my environment? Not only to know what mode I'm in, but to be able to shift it. As someone who tends to spend much of my time in intellectual mode it has been very helpful for me to learn how to shift into other modes of being. More than helpful--very enjoyable!

I have learned to recognize when I am feeling confused, drained and tired--what that means and how to shift it. I used to spend quite a lot of time in that state and I chose to spend a lot of time alone as a result to "get clear." Now I am realizing that I can stay clear around other people too.

I have learned to make better decisions in my life as a result of learning these techniques--for example, when I was looking for housemates--because I have learned to differentiate what I feel and need from what other people feel and need and to not be so swayed by other people.

If you have read other books by Rose, you will find that this one has very different techniques and information. This is the book that I have found the most easily accessible and that I find myself recommending to friends as the book to start with. If I could afford it, I would buy tons of copies and spread them around. It is that good of a book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Become the Most Important Person in the Room, November 24, 2009

By	Napple (Chicago) - See all my reviews

I love this book. It powerfully reminded me how I had gotten too far out, losing myself by over-engaging with others and leaving myself depleted. I am not an empath but I am a highly sensitive person who often feels that others are somehow more important than me. Rosetree showed me the way back. Virtually everything I read in her book pertained to me--except the peak experience for Skilled Empaths, a technique she teaches as a close-to-finish reward.

I was drawn to the book by its surprising title. At first I thought it meant competing for top-dog place. But no, it's about discovering--or for me--re-discovering who I am. Thinking of myself first, not last. Conserving my primary energy for my own needs, instead of automatically and uncontrollably giving it away to others. Remember what the airlines tell you: "Put your mask on first, THEN help your child."

Here's a slice of how the book impacted my life: Rosetree talks about the need to speak up for yourself. This was a bell-ringer for me. I had a close friend whose recent behavior towards me had been troubling. I hadn't made my feelings known because I was afraid of her anger. But having read those encouraging words, I sent a clear message that I wanted to continue the friendship but without the offhand remarks. My communication was long overdue but I felt great about coming clean.

Rosetree is masterful, not only with her well-written and well-organized ideas, and not to mention all of her 50 techniques, but she also brings a great understanding of self-esteem issues. With all the intense work she has done in this arena for years, working with clients far and wide, she has created a structured path to becoming fully realized. Witty comments and deep insights are sprinkled generously throughout. "Becoming..." is a joy to read. You can't miss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Find out who you really are., November 15, 2009

By	Camster - See all my reviews

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who thinks they may be an empath and wants to know more about it and also to those who already know they are empaths and want to get the tools they need to face the unique challenges and opportunities that await the 1 person in 20 that has this gift.

In this book, Rose Rosetree explained clearly and thoroughly the truth of what being an empath means, how this gift operates and the different types of empath that exist. She exposed some common myths about being an empath (did you know empaths are born, not made? I didn`t.) She explained why some of the techniques for handling my empathy that I had been using were not working for me and, most importantly, she gave me the skills I needed to turn down my sensitivity when necessary as well as turn it up to the max when I want to help those I care about or see things from another's perspective. How wonderful it was to learn that I get to choose how I want to respond instead of always being swept away by the situation surrounding me.

Rose did all this in a lighthearted, humorous way that kept me chuckling as I discovered more about who I really am inside. I found it especially helpful that she divided the book into 30 daily sessions. This helped me understand and experience on a deeper level the information she provided because I had time to absorb it better and had a chance to see it working in my daily life. Believe it or not, I was nervous about becoming "the most important person in the room" but now that I am, I don't ever want to be "invisible" again.
