Bøger af Michael E. McCullough

Forgiving can be one of the hardest things we'll ever do. The authors show how you can experience authentic forgiveness in ways that bring restoration and healing. They cover topics such as why, when you forgive it doesn't seem to last; why we can't forgive by forgetting; what it means to forgive yourself; how we can gain empathy for those who have hurt us, and much more.

Why do we give a damn about strangers?

"A fine achievement."--Peter Singer, author of The Life You Can Save and The Most Good You Can DoA sweeping psychological history of human goodness -- from the foundations of evolution to the modern political and social challenges humanity is now facing.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. As McCullough argues, these choices weren't enabled by an evolved moral sense, but with moral invention -- driven not by evolution's dictates but by reason. Today's challenges -- climate change, mass migration, nationalism -- are some of humanity's greatest yet. In revealing how past crises shaped the foundations of human concern, The Kindness of Strangers offers clues for how we can adapt our moral thinking to survive these challenges as well.
