jkinla's review against another edition
2.0
I had hoped for more information on how to improve empathy on the interpersonal level and this was mostly focused on a wider, global/societal scale. I didn’t find his arguments about how empathy can change the world persuasive as they seemed naively directed at a privileged, Western audience and to imagine that that group would be the primary driver of social revolution ignores the majority of the worlds population. I did flag some notes from the chapter on conversation as that contained some valuable ideas for how to be more empathetic in a meaningful way.
