Details

Empathy and kindness, now in short supply, are a source of strength not weakness, states Stanford psychology professor Dr. Jamil Zaki in his groundbreaking book The War for Kindness. He asserts that empathy is not a fixed trait (something we are born with) but a life skill that can be built and strengthened through effort.
