The War for Kindness

Zaki's research shows empathy can be taught, but I'm curious what personal experiences or scientific findings motivated this focus.

The book made me reflect on how easy it is to fall into cynicism, but also how empowering it is to believe kindness is within our control. Has this changed how others approach daily interactions?

Real-life examples make the science feel more tangible, but I wonder if they also risk oversimplifying complex social issues. Did others find the stories inspiring or overly optimistic?
