Reviews
“I immediately went to the section that deals with harmful phrases to women and chuckled as I could relate to so many. Then I went through other harmful phrases and found that I am guilty of some of these and am glad the book suggested more appropriate phrases to use.” – Gemma
“Enoch and Sade have done a brilliant job of breaking down those difficult conversations into easy and relatable topics. The book delves into the sensitivity around those statements which are easily overlooked and the impact on people across different races. Well-done!”– Taofeek
“Well, this is for everyone of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds. Sometimes, we accept what we know deep down is wrong simply because it has been normalised by society. Without giving much away, this book is a reminder to own your narrative and identity. You’ll thank me later.” – Stephen
“It looks like a great toolkit for anyone (or any team) to use to educate themselves, or as conversation starters, about what not to say – and importantly why not. But also there’s a focus on what might be an alternative thing to say – if there is one.” – Louise
“Overall, “Why Is This Wrong?” is a valuable contribution to the field of moral philosophy. It’s a must-read for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of ethics and live a more principled life.” – Shade
