A practical, philosophical guide to living with empathy by one of the UK's leading thinkers
Roman Krznaric is a social philosopher who writes about the power
of ideas to create change. His internationally bestselling books,
including The Good Ancestor, Empathy, and Carpe Diem Regained, have
been published in more than twenty-five languages. He is Senior
Research Fellow at Oxford University's Centre for Eudaimonia and
Human Flourishing and founder of the world's first Empathy
Museum.
After growing up in Sydney and Hong Kong, Roman studied at the
universities of Oxford, London and Essex, where he gained his PhD
in political science. His writings have been widely influential
amongst political and ecological campaigners, education reformers,
social entrepreneurs and designers. An acclaimed public speaker,
his talks and workshops have taken him from a London prison to the
TED global stage.
Roman is a member of the Club of Rome and a Research Fellow of the
Long Now Foundation. He previously worked as an academic, a
gardener and a human rights campaigner. He is also a fanatical
player of the medieval sport of real tennis.
Having spent the past decade studying empathy, I can say without
hesitation that Roman's work is exactly what we need to bring this
powerful concept off the pages and into our lives. Empathy inspires
with a unique combination of teaching, storytelling, and a serious
call to action.

fascinating and helpful.
