Of course I'm keeping my eye out for literature on improving empathy. All the reviews I found so far said that we're not sure how to do that yet, because the studies do not give strong and clear results. Most of the literature is about trying to train medical workers to have empathy.

Roots of Empathy seems promising, but I don't know whether it's been tested in adults.

EDIT: Fixed link.
