Metaethics and How to Be Kinder

“Metaethics is the study of moral thought and moral language. Rather than addressing questions about  what practices are right or wrong – metaethics asks what morality actually is.” 

This Book Will Make You Kinder – an Empathy Handbook by Henry James Garrett. The book asks two  questions; 

• Why are you kind at all? 

• Why aren’t you kinder? 

Henry James Garrett is an amazing cartoonist and writer with a background in metaethics. His book is  insightful, especially at this time in history and current events. He speaks of moral kindness, illustrated  by poignant cartoons. 

If you move too fast, you don't notice all the opportunities there are to be kind.

“How can we be our best and kindest selves for the people around us and the society we need to build?” 

This book is about empathy and the softening of hearts. It is a book about putting ourselves in other  people’s shoes. 

You + This Book  = You, But Kinder 

This author explores the limitations that we all have, but asks that we work toward being our best. This  book is timely and insightful and hits a human truth that we need to address.
