Human kind - A hopeful history
Our Book of the Month is Human Kind - A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman
Human beings, we're taught, are by nature selfish and governed by self-interest. It drives the headlines that surround us and the laws that touch our lives.
From Machiavelli to Hobbes, Freud to Dawkins, the roots of this belief have sunk deep into Western thought. In this major book, Rutger takes some of the world's most famous studies and events and reframes them, providing a new perspective on the last 200,000 years of human history.
Bregman shows how believing in human kindness and altruism can be a new way to think – and act as the foundation for achieving true change in our society.
