The Grand Unifying Theory of Human Motivation – as taught to me by a turtle, and by an eternally-outraged human reptile.To read more about empathy, see me, feel me, touch me, heal me at Amazon.com.
I’ve got the magic beans, Bunkie, the true goods, the genuine article.
If you download and read my new Kindle book Nine empathies: Apprehending love and malice, I will show you:
* Why the schoolyard bully was able to taunt you with such perfectly-honed insults – plastering you with a nickname that sticks to you to this very day.
* Why your marriage always seems to hit its worst spots right after the two of you have just been through something wonderful together.
* Why you can’t seem to stop dreading things that never happen – all while you never manage to take on the real-life problems that always do occur.
Feel an itch? How did I know that?
“Empathy?! But where’s the charity? Where’s the altruism? Where’s the self-sacrifice?”
I left all that out.
Why? Because it’s not there. All of those ideas about empathy are wrong. Accordingly, I will also show you:
* Why the motivation to engage in and express empathy is always egoistic, why the actions are always taken in pursuit of the actor’s own perceived benefit – and for no other reason.
* Why the human mind is uniquely different from animal brains, resulting in both abstract conceptual consciousness and in the consequent freedom of the will.
* Why learning to think my way, instead of constantly pursuing a frenetic loss-avoidance strategy, will give you the life you’ve always dreamed of but have never dared to live.
No kidding. I can deliver. The reptilian scales will fall from your eyes and you will see at last how to love like a Labrador – love with delight, with joy, and with the deepest kind of reciprocal admiration.
Grab the book. Read the argument. Live the ideas. And flourish like the glorious living thing you are!
