The Power of Human
Book •
Adam Waytz's 'The Power of Human' explores the phenomenon of dehumanization, the psychological process of perceiving others as less human than oneself.
The book delves into the causes and consequences of dehumanization in various contexts, including politics, business, and everyday social interactions.
Waytz argues that dehumanization is a pervasive problem that undermines empathy, compassion, and ethical behavior.
Drawing on insights from psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics, the book offers practical strategies for resisting dehumanization and fostering more humanistic attitudes and behaviors.
By understanding the mechanisms of dehumanization, Waytz suggests, we can cultivate greater empathy and promote more positive and productive relationships.
