Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion by Paul Bloom
3.0
Do you know the concept of "this meeting could have been an e-mail"?
Well, this book could have been an e-mail. Or a longish article.
The arguments the author makes are valid, in my opinion. The resources he offers for becoming more rational and better at doing good are amazing. However, his stance is clearly "clickbait"-y. Also, there's no need to write hundreds of pages from a dozen different angles for an argument that's pretty much common sense for most people.
