Why are you kind? This book will make you kinder by introducing you to your empathy, and by pointing out what limits that empathy. Not just the everyday kindness of taking out your neighbour' s bins - the strong, courageous, moral kindness of fighting cruelty. It' s needed now more than ever. Unkindness has been given new energy in recent years. So get to know your empathy a little better. Where it comes from, and why every human - and some animals - have it. Empathy is what makes us kind, but it must be combined with a conscious effort to learn about different kinds of people. A world in which everyone acted on their empathy would be a very kind world indeed. Let' s work toward that world.
Henry Garrett is one of my favourite people to follow on Instagram and as a human . . . This Book Will Make You Kinder is not just beautiful to look at but feels urgent in its message. For many reasons we are in danger of becoming disconnected and dehumanized, and this book is a reminder of the life-changing power of empathy. -- Emma Gannon Interspersed with Henry' s beautifully metaphorical illustrations, this is a great and easy-reading practical exploration of what kindness means in the modern world -- Matt Haig I have been a fan of Henry' s work for a long time and I' m excited for more people to see it. -- Jameela Jamil This Book Will Make You Kinder blends distinctly human comics with an academic approach to understanding empathy, from a near-expert on the subject. -- Adam J Kurtz Both a compelling philosophical exploration of morality and a strategic guide to expanding our collective capacity for empathy, this slim book makes an elegant (and beautifully illustrated) case for power of kindness. Smart, humane, and life-altering. -- Thomas Page McBee If kindness and empathy is the best of humanity this book is a roadmap to it. Accessible, beautifully illustrated, at times heart-swelling in its wholesomeness, and at others inviting you to consider philosophical ideas, it' ll sink your brain into a warm bath and, in turn, you' ll return a kinder person ready to raise the bar on humanity. -- Gina Martin
