Empathy: A Handbook for Revolution by Roman Krznaric

2.0

First of all I have to say that I was REALLY pissed about the fact that the author is considering psycopaths and autists on being in the same range of people who lack empathy. It was really a really unhappy comparison. Other than that it was always written from a white, western, able-bodied, middle class perspective. Also unfortunate. Like empathy is only a luxurious feeling some people in the world needs to find within? Somebody's familiar with the popular notion that people who got very little in life are so grateful and happy with their lot? A big SOS-warning-sign for the lack of intersectional perspective.
