Critically praised author Virginia Postrel distinguishes glamor from glitz in provocative depth in more than one hundred illustrations, exposing what attributes make a individual, something or an experience glamorous. Postrel describes the three basic elements of glamour and explains that they generate a distinctive atmosphere of reflection and yearning. The Power of Glamour was the very first book to describe that glamor is not just beauty and personal value, but a force that exposes our internal lives and influences our choices. Postrel believes that glamor is a seductive special power, from seasonal brochures to army recruitment advertising, from political utopias to action heroines. His influence reaches beyond the traditional realms of clothing and movies, shaping our decisions about what to wear, what to study, how to spend or vote. The outcome is a revelation that describes why glamor has become a strong means of nonverbal coercion, one that plays on our most hidden desires and yearnings to impact our everyday decisions.

Some of our wisest politicians, advocates, researchers, and thinkers believe that empathy’s biggest challenge is that we don’t have enough of it. Yale professor Paul Bloom claims that it’s not true. Bloom exposes empathy in AGAINST EMPATHY as one of society’s main motivators of injustice and immorality. Empathy is a capricious and unfounded feeling that appeals to our narrow interests, far from improving the lives of others. It confuses our decision and also leads to cruelty, paradoxically. Based on pioneering research studies, Bloom concludes that some of the worst decisions taken by individuals and nations are far too frequently guided by sincere yet distorted emotions. He illustrates with clarity and insight that compassion distorts our decision from philanthropy and welfare to the justice system in every part of our lives; from health treatment and schooling to childcare and marriage. Bloom believes that our choices will be simpler, fairer, and therefore more rational without empathy. AGAINST EMPATHY, beautifully argued, urgent and rational, tells us that restricting our tendency to empathy is always the most moral option we can make when it comes to big policy decisions and the choices we make in our daily lives.
