Jamil Zaki

"A Stanford psychologist offers a bold new understanding of empathy, revealing it to be a skill, not a fixed trait, and showing, through science and stories, how we can all become more empathetic"--

Building Empathy in a Fractured World

The War for Kindness

An easy to read, non-technical look at empathy in various areas of our society, inspiring the reader to reflect on how and why to cultivate kindness towards others. Deeply rooted in psychology and scientific ways of understanding our behaviour.

The appendices contain an interesting feature were Zaki offers a rating system for the sources cited in the book, allowing the reader to understand which studies are more grounded and which are newer and perhaps more experimental.
