En un mundo sobrecargado de información, busquemos la empatía. Una lectura obligatoria para los tiempos que corren, cargada de esperanza y optimismo. Mejor Big Think Book del 2020 Vivimos inmersos en una ansiedad contagiosa que nos tiene sumidos en sentimientos de tristeza, soledad y frustración generalizada. Nos sentimos abrumados por los acontecimientos que nos rodean, por la injusticia, por el sufrimiento y por una sensación de crisis continua. Dicen que la esperanza es lo último que se pierde, pero en un mundo tan dividido, ¿cómo mantenemos la cordura? En este poderoso manifiesto de optimismo consciente, la novelista y activista nominada al Premio Booker Elif Shafak se basa en sus propios recuerdos y defiende el poder de las historias para unirnos.El desasosiego ha privado a las personas de su voz, pero si volvemos a escucharnos los unos a los otros contribuiremos a mejorar la democracia, la empatía y sobre todo a recuperar nuestra fe en un futuro más amable y sabio. Reseñas: «Elegante... pausado y generoso.» Mary Beard «Una lectura deliciosa que invita a la reflexión.» The Independent «Conmovedor.» The Guardian «Una lectura revolucionaria.» Cosmopolitan
