Against Empathy
The Case for Rational Compassion
Paul Bloom
Discover why Yale researcher Paul Bloom argues against the common belief that empathy is the ultimate source of goodness in society. In Against Empathy, Bloom uses groundbreaking scientific findings to reveal how empathy is a capricious and irrational emotion that leads to inequality and immorality. Instead of relying on empathy, he encourages a more distanced compassion for clearer, fairer, and ultimately more moral decisions and choices in all aspects of our lives. This urgent and humane book shows that limiting our impulse towards empathy may be the most compassionate choice we can make.

I also highly recommend everyone read Paul Bloom's excellent book: Against Empathy.
It's not that empathy is "Bad" but it's a manipulative way to set policy with severe negative consequences. – источник
