Summary of Bruce D. Perry & Maia Szalavitz's Born for Love

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Roots of Empathy is a program that takes place in a Toronto school that focuses on the growth of a child’s brain. The children observe and interact with a baby, who is growing faster than she will ever grow again, and they are able to discern what she wants and how she feels just by paying close attention.

#2 Gordon’s family was also involved in charity work, visiting the sick and giving them books. She learned that literature opens the door to feelings and perspective taking, which can elevate and connect us in humanity.

#3 The power of the baby is clear among the sixth graders. When Sophia smiles at them, even the coolest boys in the class break out in a big grin. This response is automatic: unless something went wrong during development, we all feel a stirring of joy in a baby’s smile.

#4 Empathy is the ability to stand in another person’s shoes and feel what they are feeling. It is a highly sophisticated neural capability that is rooted in our biology.
