There are many books on this topic, that can give you more insights on this. Here are some that I found to be, uh, really great to read. So the first one is Social Intelligence: The New Science of Human Relationships by Daniel Goleman. The second one is The Art of Empathy by Carlan McLaren. The third one is How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. And the last one but not least is Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck.
