The Weight of Empathy

Lucas Spiegel

The Weight of Empathy is an exploration of both our relationship with animals and the author’s own personal process of learning how to be a compassionate person in an often violent and uncaring world. Accompanied by over a hundred photographs, it takes the form of a travel memoir spanning a twenty-two-month trip around the world. It focuses on visits to half a dozen animal sanctuaries in Southeast Asia, India, and Europe, and also serves in part as an origin story for the philanthropic enterprise which was started upon his return: a vegan dog treat company which donates 100% of its profits to farm animal sanctuaries.
