"Humankind" by Rutger Bregman is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges the prevailing narrative about human nature. Bregman argues that humans are inherently good and cooperative, debunking the idea that we are inherently selfish and aggressive.
The book is well-researched and filled with fascinating anecdotes and studies that support Bregman's thesis. He explores various aspects of human behavior, from our capacity for empathy and altruism to the ways in which society and culture shape our actions.
Bregman's writing is engaging and accessible, making complex ideas easy to understand. He also offers practical suggestions for how we can foster a more compassionate and cooperative society.
Overall, "Humankind" is a compelling and optimistic read that will challenge your assumptions about human nature and leave you feeling hopeful about the future. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in psychology, sociology, or just understanding more about what makes us human.
