DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Freshman class of 2024-25 is invited to read "The War 
	for Kindness: Building Empathy in a Fractured World" by Jamil Zaki as part
	 of their Common Experience program. This month our book club will join th
	em.\n\nEmpathy is in short supply. We struggle to understand people who ar
	en't like us\, but find it easy to hate them. Studies show that we are les
	s caring than we were even thirty years ago. In 2006\, Barack Obama said t
	hat the United States was suffering from an "empathy deficit." Since then\
	, things seem to have only gotten worse.\n\nIt doesn't have to be this way
	. In this groundbreaking book\, Jamil Zaki shares cutting-edge research\, 
	including experiments from his own lab\, showing that empathy is not a fix
	ed trait--something we're born with or not--but rather a skill that can be
	 strengthened through effort. He also tells the stories of people who embo
	dy this new perspective\, fighting for kindness in the most difficult of c
	ircumstances. (From GoodReads)\n\nThis month's facilitator is Steven Sirbu
	. Newcomers are always welcome.\n\nZoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88
