Born For Love (Bruce D. Perry & Maia Szalavitz) visual synopsis by Dani Saveker
This was a very special piece commissioned by Dr Bruce Perry.
Born To Love, co-written with Maia Szalavitz, focuses on the importance of empathy, not just to humans but to societies and economics.
The reader is taken through real-life examples of when there is insufficient empathy as well as too much empathy - and what potential outcomes can be created.
“Empathy, and the ties that bind people into relationships, are key elements of happiness. Born for Love is truly fascinating.” -- Gretchen Rubin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project
“Facebook. Daycare. Economic inequality. All these trends are endangering empathy. Building off of case studies from Perry’s psychiatric practice, Perry and Szalavitz trace the antecedents and repercussions of (dis)connection, from mother-infant bonding through national financial meltdown. Born for Love explains science from cells to sociology and illustrates what can go wrong when we turn a blind eye toward others or engender blind spots in our children. But it offers fixes. Some are far off-systemic shake-ups-but others are just a handshake away.” -- Psychology Today
“A clear, expert, up-to-date presentation of what makes us human, happy, and durable.” -- Library Journal (starred review)
“Bruce Perry is both a world-class creative scientist and a compassionate therapist.” -- Mary Pipher, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Reviving Ophelia
“Once in awhile a book changes the way I experience the world. This time it’s Born For Love, by Bruce D. Perry and Maia Szalavitz. Their book explores how children learn to love-or not. No work of fiction is as compelling.” -- Denver Post
“An accessible and important work of popular science.” -- BigThink.com
