Description
"Few things get our compassion flowing like the sight of suffering. But our response is often shaped by our ability to empathize with others. Some people respond to the suffering of only humans or to one person's plight more than another's. Others react more strongly to the suffering of an animal. These divergent realities can be troubling -- but they are also a reminder that trauma and suffering are endured by all beings, and we can learn lessons about their aftermath, even across species. These are not easy stories. Suffering is real, and recovery is hard. But resilience is real, too, and Phoenix Zones shows how we can foster it. It reveals how both people and animals deserve a chance to live up to their full potential -- and how such a view could inspire solutions to some of the greatest challenges of our time."--Adapted from dust jacket.
