Illustrations based on Guardian's Article "Is Australia loosing its empathy" by Roman Krznaric

Roman Krznaric is a social philosopher whose books, including Empathy, The Wonderbox and 

How to Find Fulfilling Work, have been published in more than 20 languages. His latest book, 

Carpe Diem Regained, has been described by George Monbiot in The Guardian as “brilliant –

one of those rare books that forces you to ask what the hell you’re doing with your life.”He is the

founder of the world’s first Empathy Museum and of the digital Empathy Library, and was also a

founding faculty member of The School of Life. He is a Research Fellow of the Long Now Foundation

in San Francisco, and a Research Associate at the Design Against Crime Research Centre at Central

Saint Martins college of art and design in London.

Krznaric believes in the power of empathy for radical social and political change and proposes a

revolution in human relationships - the capacity for the human being to reach full empathic potential,

so cultures and societies can become more agregated and cooperate in order to make the necessary

changes that are crucial in periods of division, suspicion and scarcity.
