Showing results for "Kindness" in Psychology

How did humans, a species of self-centered apes, come to care about others? Since Darwin, scientists have tried to answer this question using evolutionary theory. In The Kindness of Strangers, psychologist Michael E. McCullough shows why they have failed and offers a new explanation instead. From the moment nomadic humans first settled down until the aftermath of the Second World War, our species has confronted repeated crises that we could only survive by changing our behavior.

Philosophers, evolutionary scientists and indeed former President Obama agree that an increase in empathy could advance us beyond the hatred, violence and polarisation in which the world seems caught. Others disagree, arguing it is easiest to empathise with people who look, talk or think like us. As a result, empathy can inspire nepotism, racism and worse. Having studied the neuroscience and psychology of empathy for over a decade, Jamil Zaki thinks both sides of this debate have a point.

Most people are terribly unkind to themselves. We make harsh judgements on ourselves, engage in endless self-criticism and are unforgiving of even the smallest of failings. At the same time, we can be loving and kind parents, generous and encouraging friends, and supportive and committed colleagues. We give everyone else our best only to give ourselves our worst. The Kindness Pact introduces readers to the Eight Promises - commitments you need to make to yourself.
