This Book Will Make You Kinder  An Empathy Handbook HENRY JAMES GARRETT SOUVENIR PRESS Copyright@by Henry James Garrett, 2020 Contents  Introduction 1 Why ask, "Why are we kind?" 2 We are kind because of empathy 3 Empathy evolved 4 Empathy has an off switch 5 The unequal distribution of empathy-limiting mistakes 6 Mistakes that can turn empathy off 7 Exercising empathy Conclusion What to read next Acknowledgments Notes This is a book about kindness as well as its absence and opposite.
