This Book Will Make You Kinder
Summary
From the creator of Drawings of Dogs, a and thoughtful examination of empathy and the necessity of being kinder. The kindness we owe one another goes far beyond the everyday gestures of feeding someone else's parking meter - although it's important not to downplay those small acts. Kindness can also mean much more. In this timely, insightful guide, Henry James Garrett lays out the case for developing a strong, courageous, moral kindness, one that will help you fight cruelty and make the world a more empathetic place. So, how could a book possibly make you kinder? It would need to answer two questions: Why are you kind at all? Why aren't you kinder? In this audiobook, building on his academic studies in metaethics, Henry James Garrett sets out to do just that, exploring the sources and the limitations of human empathy and the many ways, big and small, that we can work toward being our best and kindest selves for the people around us and the society we need to build.
