The Compassionate Instinct by Dacher Keltner
The Science of Human Goodness
An accessible collection of research-driven essays showing that humans are biologically and socially predisposed toward empathy, cooperation, and altruism. Drawing on evidence from evolutionary biology, neuroscience, child development, and primatology, it challenges the view of innate selfishness and explains how compassion benefits health, relationships, and societies. The contributors also offer practical guidance for fostering kindness and prosocial behavior in families, schools, workplaces, and public life.
