Not My Thing

Not My Thing critically examines common diversity and empathy exercises, arguing that despite their good intentions, they often inadvertently perpetuate cycles of cruelty, submission, and superficial understanding. Drawing on research and documented records, the author contends that these methods can inadvertently harden attitudes, depend on exclusion, and fail to foster genuine empathy. Instead, the book advocates for a slower, more thoughtful approach that begins with authentic engagement rather than performative role-play.
