Law Enforcement Officer Encourages People to Foster Empathy

The world is becoming more unstable and violent every day. This makes one ponder: Why do people and societies resort to destructive behaviors? How do we improve the prospects for stability and peace? Journey from Genesis to Genocide by Peter DiDomenica answers these critical questions.

Eye-opening and informative, Journey from Genesis to Genocide explores human nature and provides an understanding of the causes of human behavior, both individually and collectively, ranging from campaigns of genocide to selfless acts of compassion. . By using scientific knowledge and real-life experiences gained from the author’s career as a law enforcement officer, he concludes that there is an identifiable progression of situational variables combined with various human biases and instincts that lead to purposeful and planned aggression.   Breaking this propensity for aggression involves learning ways to prevent primitive stereotypical and categorical “us versus them” thinking through the development of our capacity for empathy.

Amazon customer, Thomas Engells, notes this book as important for being able to point out the root problem of our age. He adds, “The author was able to build a compelling argument using a foundation which is skillfully built with materials taken from the arts, sciences, philosophy, and law. Readers may appreciate the skillful summary of complex research which provides insight into potential solutions.”

Journey from Genesis to Genocide was displayed at LitFire’s booth during the Book Expo America. The event was held this year from May 31 to June 2 at Javits Center, New York City.
