Publisher's Synopsis
Leading change is not about breaking things - it's about using empathy to enrich the world.
In Empathy for Change: How to Create a More Understanding World, former White House entrepreneur-in-residence Amy J. Wilson dives into the intricate science of empathy, debunking common myths and sharing practical uses for a better society. Having built cultures of innovation and change across multiple sectors, she knows that when we do not design with compassion, we remove the humanity and closeness we have to one another.
This book touches on:
- How and why compassion can fuel real change despite its misconceptions
- Why change is more difficult in the 21st century and what we must do to instill human connection
- How power, culture, and systems shape our reality and how they can be redesigned
- What should be combined with empathy to make true positive impact
- And more!
If you are looking for a toolkit to transform the places you live, work and play, this is it.
Empathy for Change is the essential guidebook for developing kindness and learning to use it to make a more understanding and equitable future.
