Recenzje

Praise for The Sweet Spot - ///

"Bloom writes as if speaking, which brings a welcome immediacy to his explorations. . . . The effect, simultaneously authoritative and chummy, is engaging." - Harper's Magazine

"This book will challenge you to rethink your vision of a good life. With sharp insights and lucid prose, Paul Bloom makes a captivating case that pain and suffering are essential to happiness. It's an exhilarating antidote to toxic positivity." - Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife

Praise for Against Empathy - ///

"An invigorating, relevant and often very funny re-evaluation of empathy, one of our culture's most ubiquitous sacred cows, which in Mr. Bloom's view should be gently led to the abattoir." - New York Times

"Provocative . . . In a time of post-truth politics, his book offers a much-needed call for facts." - The Economist
