Description
Bloomsbury presents Humankind by Rutger Bregman, read by Rutger Bregman and Thomas Judd.
The Sunday Times best seller.
A Guardian, Times, Daily Telegraph and Financial Times summer listen.
It’s a belief that unites the left and right, psychologists and philosophers, writers and historians. 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. Human beings, we’re taught, are by nature selfish and governed by self-interest.
Humankind makes a new argument: that it is realistic, as well as revolutionary, to assume that people are good. The instinct to cooperate rather than compete, trust rather than distrust, has an evolutionary basis going right back to the beginning of Homo sapiens. By thinking the worst of others, we bring out the worst in our politics and economics too.
In this major book, internationally best-selling author Rutger Bregman 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. From the real-life Lord of the Flies to the Blitz, a Siberian fox farm to an infamous New York murder, Stanley Milgram’s Yale shock machine to the Stanford prison experiment, 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.
It is time for a new view of human nature.
Commentaires
"Never dewy-eyed, wistful or naive, Rutger Bregman makes a wholly robust and convincing case for believing - despite so much apparent evidence to the contrary - that we are not the savage, irredeemably greedy, violent and rapacious species we can be led into thinking ourselves to be. Hugely, highly and happily recommended." (Stephen Fry)
"Rutger Bregman’s extraordinary new book is a revelation.... Humankind is masterful in its grasp of history, both ancient and modern." (Susan Cain, author of Quiet)
"Cynicism is a theory of everything, but, as Rutger Bregman brilliantly shows, an elective one. This necessary book widens the aperture of possibility for a better future, and radically." (David Wallace-Wells, author of The Uninhabitable Earth)

The most positive book I’ve ever read or listened to
I would like this book to be required reading for all students. It shows us all just what humans can do when they put their minds to it. It’s not just a fuzzy feel good book. The author shares all his research and leaves the reader the gift of allowing for more research to be done on a personal level. I’m telling all my friends if they only read one book this year, make it this one. There is a lot to take in. I’ve listened to it twice already and I know I will revisit it again.

Needed this
I really needed this, something hopeful and backed by data as a reason to be optimistic about the world...
Bregman offers a strong argument that the cynical default state we are so accustomed to in media is not actually true. Stories of drama and conflict and misery might be more interesting, but not in fact good representations of human nature.
From debunking famous studies, to showcasing many more lesser-known ones, it's important to understand that it's not all grim. A lot of history going back to hunter-gatherer era and the whole Hobbes & Rousseau debate. One interesting term on evolved friendliness would be 'homo puppy'
Overall, it's key to remember that humans are cooperative by nature. Not competitive. Don't trust those leaders who say otherwise!

transition to something even more
this book is a transition to a larger piece of work which should include the effects of mob into the close contact theory. our author has touched and made a bridge to the next best theory of human workings and social interactions. I highly recommend this book it is there at the top together with human theory books such as sapiens life 3.0 and others

Long winded
Although the general idea of the book made sense, and his research was well done, I found it much too long. The narrators voice started to itlrritate me to after a couple of chapters, which probably spoiled the overall enjoyment. i think it would be better to buy the book and read it yourself.

Expanding you world view
A very interesting book. It gives a different framework to look at the world than what is usually presented. Insofar it is really eye opening and expanding the perception of society and people. Let’s hope the ideas presented here become more influential, most likely the world would be far better for it.

Fantastic Eye-opening book!
A very insightful and positive book! I love how the author takes us on a journey, explaining the course of his research step by steps. Dismantling previous experiments on human behaviors that were falsified and counterbalancing with trustworthy evidences.
