Humankind: A Hopeful History

DESCRIPTION

COPY LINK: https://pdf.bookcenterapp.com/yumpu/B07XDNDSBG AN

INSTANT&nbspNEWYORK TIMES&nbspBESSELLERThe &#8220liely&#8221(The New Yorker),

&#8220covincing&#8221(Forbes), and &#8220rieting pick-me-up we all need right

now&#8221(People)&nbsptha proves humanity thrives in a crisis and that our innate

kindness&nbspandcooperation have been the greatest factors in our long-term success as a

species.If there is one belief that has united the left and the right, psychologists and philosophers,

ancient thinkers and modern ones, it is the tacit assumption that humans are bad. It's a notion that

drives newspaper headlines and guides the laws that shape our lives. From Machiavelli to

Hobbes, Freud to Pinker, the roots of this belief have sunk deep into Western thought. Human

beings, we're taught, are by nature selfish and governed primarily by self-interest.But what if it isn't

true? International bestseller Rutger Bregman provides new perspective on the past 200,000

years of human history, setting out to prove that we are hardwired for kindness, geared toward

cooperation rather than competition, and more inclined to trust rather than distrust one another. In

fact this instinct has a firm evolutionary basis going back to the beginning of Homo

sapiens.&nbspFro the real-life Lord of the Flies to the solidarity in the aftermath of the Blitz, the

hidden flaws in the Stanford prison experiment to the true story of twin brothers on opposite sides

who helped Mandela end apartheid, Bregman shows us that believing in human generosity and

collaboration isn't merely optimistic&#8212its realistic. Moreover, it has huge implications for how

society functions. When we think the worst of people, it brings out the worst in our politics and

economics. But if we believe in the reality of humanity's kindness and altruism, it will form the

foundation for achieving true change in society, a case that Bregman makes convincingly with his

signature wit, refreshing frankness, and memorable storytelling.&quotTheSapiens of
