Everyone must read this book.

This is a fantastic book that everyone must read. Author Ronald Goldman through ''The Empathy Evolution'' shows us how empathy can be a powerful tool to fight violence, racism, corruption, mental illness, and more problems that are affecting society in the United States United and the rest of the world. In this book, the author shows us what he considers the main causes of these problems and offers a way to solve them. I found this book quite interesting because it is revealing and makes you think about how we behave in this society and how we can start to change. Another thing that caught my attention was the focus on family and the importance it has in society. I highly recommend this book.

Without empathy, societies do not advance. According to author Goldman, in order to move forward as a society in the midst of the great challenges we face, it is essential to understand the particularities and realities of people; therefore, to understand complex human contexts it is necessary to apply the ability to share mental states and respond to them appropriately.
That's why we need an empathetic society that is aware of the negative feelings in others and seeks to implement actions that change that situation by acting from solidarity, help and altruism.
Personally, I think this book should be read by everyone in society, because it is extremely interesting and useful for promoting solidarity and empathy. Promoting these types of values is undoubtedly what we need.

Dr. Ronald Goldman is a master in his chosen field: preventing childhood trauma to improve our society. His book, "The Empathy Evolution" lays out the causes of many of society's problems and proposes solutions. The strength of the maternal/infant bond is the key to developing empathy (and thus happiness) in the child. Dr. Goldman's book offers strategies for strengthening this bond, thereby lessening many of the problems in our society. "The Empathy Evolution" is an important resource in our efforts to improve our society. Everyone would benefit by reading it.

This is a very interesting read that helps us understand the deep roots of the social problems that persist in the United States, despite its global leadership. In "The Empathy Evolution," Goldman offers a new outlook on breaking the cycles of social and behavioral issues. Empathy strengthens personal and professional connections and is vital in promoting fairness and equality in society. This book is indispensable for anyone seeking to cultivate their empathy.

Reading it was more than pleasurable; it encouraged me to delve into the root causes of our societal issues and consider collaborative solutions for the future. In today's increasingly divided and misunderstood world, empathy is absolutely crucial. This book comes with my wholehearted recommendation.
