This Book Will Make You Kinder: An Empathy Handbook

　　IG網紅畫家Henry James Garrett 用溫暖的動插畫像為社會發聲
　　他的插畫圈粉無數，連梅根王妃看了都樂不可支！

　　Garrett原本在攻讀哲學所的博士學位，主修同理心與後設倫理學，卻無法從中獲取快樂，最終選擇放棄，轉而專注於他最喜歡的繪圖領域。他繪製可愛的動物插畫，搭配溫暖的文字，在療癒眾人的同時，也發表了他對於社會公平、LGBT社群等議題的看法。連梅根王妃收到Garrett所贈送的一幅關於女權議題的插畫，都喜出望外，在現場開懷大笑。

　　而今，Garrett把這份溫暖分享出來，藉由一篇篇的插畫，讓我們慢慢感受到一份堅強、勇敢、善良，讓我們從中獲得力量、變得溫暖，一同對抗這世界的殘忍，讓這世界再度充滿愛。

　　但是，一本書要怎麼讓你成為溫暖的人呢？首先，你要先回答下面兩個問題
　　為什麼你很溫暖？
　　為什麼你不溫暖？

　　Garrett以其後設倫理學研究專業為基礎，輔以極具代表性的溫暖動物插畫，闡釋出他想表達的核心思想：探索自我、了解自己的極限，為周遭的人及這個社會努力，就可以成為一個溫暖的人。(文/博客來編譯)

　　From the creator of Drawings of Dogs, a warmly illustrated and thoughtful examination of empathy and the necessity of being kinder

　　The kindness we owe one another goes far beyond the everyday gestures of feeding someone else's parking meter--although it's important not to downplay those small acts. Kindness can also mean much more. In this timely, insightful guide, Henry James Garrett lays out the case for developing a strong, courageous, moral kindness, one that will help you fight cruelty and make the world a more empathetic place.

　　So, how could a book possibly make you kinder? It would need to answer two questions:
　　•  Why are you kind at all? and,
　　•  Why aren't you kinder?

　　In these pages, building on his academic studies in metaethics and using his signature-sweet animal cartoons, Henry James Garrett sets out to do just that, exploring the sources and the limitations of human empathy and the many ways, big and small, that we can work toward being our best and kindest selves for the people around us and the society we need to build.

Henry James Garrett is a writer, illustrator, and creator of the wildly popular Instagram account formerly known as Drawings of Dogs, now @HenryJGarrett. Before that, he pursued a PhD in philosophy on the subject of empathy and metaethics but dropped out due to anxiety. Instead, he decided to focus on what he enjoyed most: using his warm drawings of all kinds of animals to express thoughtful ideas about wellness, social justice, equality, LGBT identity, and more. Since then, he’s written and illustrated a piece on empathy for The New York Times; created alternative Valentine’s cards for The Fawcett Society; provided Meghan Markle with a feminist drawing of her dog; cartooned for the i newspaper, BuzzFeed, and London Pride; and presented solo exhibitions in London and a beautiful phone box in Brighton. He lives in Brighton, England, with his partner, Kitty.
