Strangers Drowning: Grappling with Impossible Idealism, Drastic Choices, and the Overpowering Urge to Help by Larissa MacFarquhar

4.0

Thought provoking material though I wish i could not sense the author’s own moral bend through this book . It was fascinating to read about people like myself who have literally saved people outside my family and been looked at poorly for doing it . In one case saving someone from drowning and by sharks and not thinking twice about it ( this happened also happened with a complete stranger ).However I have also been on the receiving line of these actions as well .

Morality in the digital age is a whole other subject as well as the influence of “ others “ is a group undefined when it could be your own cousin you are playing online chess with and complaining about your life to .
This one will have me thinking for awhile . It helped me understand frictions I have had with others (they with me and I with them ).
