Description

If you want a book that is fun to read, insightful into human nature, that helps you understand empathy and how to be empathic, and that is enjoyable for the adult and the middle schooler alike, this is the unique book for you. What if you retold a story -- a classic 6-sentence Aesop-like fable -- and changed no facts nor details in the story... but you just add in a backstory behind it that, knowing these facts, creates a completely different story? And what if you did this a few dozen times, each of which tells a completely different backstory, and thus each time revealing different stories, different emotions and different sides of the human experience? This is what The Scorpion & The Frog: An Exercise in Empathy does. In doing so, it makes you internalize the key lesson of empathy: that behaviors you see in other people which feel crazy or wrong to you, well, when you know what the other person does (but you don't), it can paint a completely different story.Each of the retellings of the brief and final adventure of the scorpion and the frog takes a different turn and each one elucidates a different part of the human experience. Whether you're looking for thought-provoking, enjoyable stories, or to help yourself practice understanding how other's experiences will always be invisible to you, then this is the book for you.If you want a book that is fun to read, insightful into human nature, that helps you understand empathy and how to be empathic, and that is enjoyable for the adult and the middle schooler alike, this is the unique book for you.
