About the Book: In Suicidal Empathy, bestselling author Dr Gad Saad examines what he describes as the dangers of excessive or misguided empathy in modern politics and culture. Building on ideas from The Parasitic Mind, Saad argues that an overemphasis on victimhood, compassion and political correctness can distort moral priorities and influence public policy. Exploring themes of altruism, criminal justice, social responsibility, freedom and cultural change, he challenges readers to question prevailing assumptions about empathy and morality. Provocative and controversial, this thought-provoking book offers a forceful critique of what Saad sees as an increasingly irrational approach to compassion and social policy.
