Discover the groundbreaking book that's an inspiring call to action for increasing empathy in a world that's experiencing an "empathy deficit."

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.
