Empathy is not a subtle art, it's a deliberate choice. This book responds to some of the main points made in the bestselling "self-help" book, The Subtle Art of NOT Giving a F*ck, by Mark Manson. In his collection of essays, Sizemore hypothesizes that this notion of "not giving a f*ck" has only helped cultivate a society of narcissism and selfishness, in which, combined with addiction to social media, we have become a culture of a*sholes. Sizemore goes on to provide examples of why this is harming our society and culture at large, and then provides some thoughtful alternative suggestions on how to cultivate empathy and an allowance for nuance, how to try and reconnect with the physical world again. Sizemore suggests we put the social back into social interaction.
