An inside look at the power of empathy: Born for Love is an unprecedented exploration of how and why the brain learns to bond with others and a stirring call to protect our children from new threats to their capacity to love. Selected Reading Questionnaire.

I had a professor who once said she would always gift this book to friend who had just had a baby, which at the time I thought was a bit odd. Now, however, I completely agree and have even done the same thing. This is essential reading for everyone, but particularly anyone who is caring for a child.

An excellent book. Full of insights on why empathy is important in everyone's lives; why some people have it...and some people don't. A must read for anyone intending to have, or already have, young children. Lots of insights into how to not mess up your child's mind and capability for empathy. ( )

A great book that describes why and how empathy is important ( )
