Description
Simon Baron-Cohen explores what makes human behaviour uniquely human in this thought-provoking study. He examines how our actions can range from extreme cruelty to selfless kindness, and whether we lie somewhere on the empathy spectrum that is influenced by both genetics and environment.
The author delves into the complexities of empathy, cruelty and understanding, drawing on his research into social neuroscience over a 20-year career. From historical events like the Nazi concentration camps to everyday interactions in playgrounds, he sheds light on what it means to be human.
