The War for Kindness
Building Empathy in a Fractured World
Jamil Zaki
Discover the groundbreaking book that's an inspiring call to action for increasing empathy in a world that's experiencing an "empathy deficit." In The War for Kindness, Jamil Zaki shares cutting-edge research that demonstrates empathy can be strengthened like a skill, rather than a fixed trait we're born with. He presents real-life stories of people who embody this perspective, from former neo-Nazis to Washington police officers, providing ample evidence that empathy is key to building a better world. Written with clarity and passion, this "wide-ranging practical guide to making the world better" (NPR) is a must-read for anyone ready to accept the challenge.
