Against Empathy: The Case for Rational Compassion di Paul Bloom

I didn't disagree with the author, but I found the book pretty painful to read. It seems repetitive and unnecessarily long to me. Maybe would've been better as an essay than a full book.

Psych: The Story of the Human Mind di Paul Bloom

I found this book to be an interesting and (from my totally non-professional opinion, so I could be wrong) seemingly exhaustive introduction to psychology. I appreciated the nuanced takes on different aspects of the study of the human mind. I have no background whatsoever in this topic, and appreciated learning more about the topic.

After all the "well these people think this, and others think that" nuance in the first several chapters of the book, I was very unhappy to read the "women are more empathetic and men are more aggressive" bullsh*t parroted later in the book, totally ignoring that women are socialized to be more empathetic, so how can we generalize and say that personality has to do with innate qualities of individuals?

I also appreciated the chapter on mental illness but didn't like that the author did not even opt to mention that there is NO biological basis for any mental illness. He gives just enough of a glimpse of "look, this is complicated, and many sides to this" but I found it interesting in the pieces of the puzzle that the author opted not to include in his book at all.… (altro)

The Sweet Spot: The Pleasures of Suffering and the… di Paul Bloom

An engaging writer addresses happiness and misery and our relationships with these things. Nothing’s terribly deep or profound, but he points out a lot of things to think about when questioning other people’s deep profundities. All with a lot of humor and humanity. I’ve really enjoyed several of his books. Recommended.

Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil di Paul Bloom

Very nice discussion about the origins of morality, what parts are instinctual and what parts are learned. Bloom is a great writer and this is an interesting subject.
