What is empathy? Can it be depleted? Can you empathize with those who've hurt you? Do you grapple with an excess of empathy that leaves you drained? Why is it often hardest to muster empathy for those we love? These questions might be what led you to pick up this book. Empathy is that profound moment when we step into someone else's shoes, perceive the world through their eyes, and genuinely understand their emotions. It's the bridge connecting us and the compass guiding us toward deeper connections. Yet, despite knowing empathy's value, there are times when it seems just beyond our reach. One of the most perplexing aspects of empathy is how we extend it to those who've harmed us. How do we show understanding to those who've caused us pain or mistreated us? Is empathy inherent, or can it be developed through training? These questions test our emotional boundaries, and in this book, we address them directly. Within these pages, we explore the complexities of coping with unempathetic parents, emotionally unavailable partners, and challenging work relationships. You'll gain practical tools for extending empathy and navigating the dynamics of family and groups. You'll also learn to balance empathy with self-respect, establish boundaries, and tend to your emotional needs. If you've ever struggled with empathy-feeling like you have either too much or too little-then this book is for you. It is as a guide to mend broken relationships, nurture deeper connections, and enhance self-love. Ultimately, you may come to view empathy not as something that drains you, but as a priceless gift that multiplies when shared.

New York Post Best Book of 2016 We often think of our capacity to experience the suffering of others as the ultimate source of goodness. Many of our wisest policy-makers, activists, scientists, and philosophers agree that the only problem with empathy is that we don’t have enough of it. Nothing could be farther from the truth, argues Yale researcher Paul Bloom. In AGAINST EMPATHY, Bloom reveals empathy to be one of the leading motivators of inequality and immorality in society. Far from helping us to improve the lives of others, empathy is a capricious and irrational emotion that appeals to our narrow prejudices. It muddles our judgment and, ironically, often leads to cruelty. We are at our best when we are smart enough not to rely on it, but to draw instead upon a more distanced compassion. Basing his argument on groundbreaking scientific findings, Bloom makes the case that some of the worst decisions made by individuals and nations—who to give money to, when to go to war, how to respond to climate change, and who to imprison—are too often motivated by honest, yet misplaced, emotions. With precision and wit, he demonstrates how empathy distorts our judgment in every aspect of our lives, from philanthropy and charity to the justice system; from medical care and education to parenting and marriage. Without empathy, Bloom insists, our decisions would be clearer, fairer, and—yes—ultimately more moral. Brilliantly argued, urgent and humane, AGAINST EMPATHY shows us that, when it comes to both major policy decisions and the choices we make in our everyday lives, limiting our impulse toward empathy is often the most compassionate choice we can make.

A one-of-a-kind celebration of America's greatest comic strip--and the life lessons it can teach us--from a stellar array of writers and artists Over the span of fifty years, Charles M. Schulz created a comic strip that is one of the indisputable glories of American popular culture—hilarious, poignant, inimitable. Some twenty years after the last strip appeared, the characters Schulz brought to life in Peanuts continue to resonate with millions of fans, their beguiling four-panel adventures and television escapades offering lessons about happiness, friendship, disappointment, childhood, and life itself. In The Peanuts Papers, thirty-three writers and artists reflect on the deeper truths of Schulz’s deceptively simple comic, its impact on their lives and art and on the broader culture. These enchanting, affecting, and often quite personal essays show just how much Peanuts means to its many admirers—and the ways it invites us to ponder, in the words of Sarah Boxer, “how to survive and still be a decent human being” in an often bewildering world. Featuring essays, memoirs, poems, and two original comic strips, here is the ultimate reader’s companion for every Peanuts fan. Featuring: Jill Bialosky Lisa Birnbach Sarah Boxer Jennifer Finney Boylan Ivan Brunetti Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell Rich Cohen Gerald Early Umberto Eco Jonathan Franzen Ira Glass Adam Gopnik David Hajdu Bruce Handy David Kamp Maxine Hong Kingston Chuck Klosterman Peter D.
