By most any measure, 2020 has been a rough year. Whether we’re talking about politics or the pandemic, it has been marked by division and mutual mistrust. Author Henry James Garrett says the very specific arguments we have often come down to deeper questions about morality and why we are kind to some but not others. His new book is This Book Will Make You Kinder: An Empathy Handbook. He also created the Instagram account formerly known as Drawings of Dogs.
