Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion by Paul Bloom

2.0

I found his arguments repetitive and not backed by sound reasoning. Additionally, the point that was being made in this book is not a new one, it is just using different, more aggressive language than previous authors. Overall, I found this book to be pointless to read. A better alternative would be The Undoing Project, which addresses more completely the reasons behind Paul Bloom's argument, and consists of better data and explanations.
