The Age of Empathy: Nature's Lessons for a Kinder Society - Frans de Waal
i'm a bit torn over this one there are a lot of really amazing animal anecdotes on why natural selection should favor empathy and cooperation but i don't agree with the assumption that the default human society position is individualism - especially when it's argued using a blockbuster movie from 1987 as an example of proof a small gripe - overall good read |
