Humankind by Rutger Bregman
A Hopeful History
The book challenges the pervasive notion that humans are inherently selfish and driven by self-interest, presenting a more optimistic view of human nature. It argues that people are fundamentally kind, cooperative, and inclined towards goodness, drawing on historical examples, psychological studies, and real-world events to support this perspective. By re-examining well-known stories and experiments, the book suggests that a more positive understanding of humanity can lead to a better society, encouraging readers to embrace trust and empathy in their interactions and societal structures.
