This Book Will Make You Kinder: An Empathy Handbook

this is an easy read about meta-ethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics with empathy and ignorance as the source for our decisions. this is the second time i picked up the book, and the first time i read the book thoughtfully. at a surface-level, the messages are very simple: we should be kind because it's the right thing to do, and those who aren't lack an understanding of (or choose not to understand) others' experiences. there are thought-provoking questions throughout each chapter to help the reader better understand their ignorance, and to help appreciate the different ways other people express their love.
