Head over heart: the case against emotional empathy – Grace & Truth February 26, 2019 by Fulcrum In the mid-1990s, I worked in a large hostel for 140 homeless people. One resident (lets call him Brian) had incredibly strong body odour. His lack of personal hygiene and reluctance to wash his clothes became a real issue. It led to snide comments from other residents and frustrations grew among those who shared the TV lounge or canteen area with him. Jon Kuhrt. Grace and Truth. 25 February 2019 FulcrumShareTweetShare
