The Empathy Diaries

In The Empathy Diaries, MIT psychologist and bestselling author Sherry Turkle shares her intimate story of love and work, weaving together her coming-of-age with her groundbreaking research on technology, empathy, and ethics. Growing up in postwar Brooklyn, Turkle searched for clues to her identity in a house filled with mysteries while mastering the codes that governed her mother's secretive life. Through rich detail, Turkle captures her journey from Harvard-Radcliffe on the cusp of coeducation during the antiwar movement to her place as a woman and humanist at MIT. A master class in finding meaning through a life's work, this book illuminates our present search for authentic connection in a time of uncharted challenges.
