Born For Love by Bruce D. Perry
Why Empathy Is Essential — and Endangered
This book explains that humans are biologically wired for connection and empathy, showing—through neuroscience, case studies, and developmental research—how early relationships shape the brain and emotional life; it argues that warmth, attuned caregiving, and safe social environments are essential for healthy development, while neglect, stress, and modern social trends can blunt empathy and promote behavioral and mental-health problems, and it offers practical recommendations for parents, educators, and policymakers to nurture empathy and resilience in children and communities.
