"How to Like a Human Being," by professional teacher and writer Chris Sharp, is a guide book for people who love everyone but don't really like anyone very much. Sharp draws from his experience as a teacher to discover how people develop obstacles against liking and trusting other people, and using history and a workshop technique he challenges readers to drop these barriers that exclude them from giving and receiving with a more promising human community. But the book carries a warning: Liking people is not as abstract as loving humanity, and it will require more work and courage.
