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.

Soulfood for Machiavellians

The author did an excellent job in putting together the newest insights from all different fields of science to undermine his point of view; humans are basically kind. He did it in a very entertaining and at the same time inspiring way. I really have to rethink a lot of information I learned in my study of psychology. Looking at the human kind from his point of view, certainly will raise my quality of life!

Einfach wundervoll!

Dies ist eines der Bücher, die das 21. Jahrhundert braucht!
Sicherlich liegt die Wahrheit irgendwo in der Mitte, aber Bregman schafft es erfolgreich ein anderes Licht auf den Menschen zu werfen.
Vieles, was wir als intrinsisch "schlecht" sehen ist kulturell bedingt. Besonders in Zeiten von new media werden die Abstände zwischen uns immer weiter, und wir verlieren unsere menschliche Güte.
Pflichtlektüre für jedermann!

now it all makes sense

my xmas gift to a dozen colleagues. no blinkist on this one, seems long at times, but only because there are so many valuable insights. it is well written and the points made are well driven home and each adds to the bigger story and the overall potential of this book! thank you for the thorough research painting a different picture of humanity, one that can act like a beacon for our future!

Provoking and interesting

Great insight, facts and perspectives into the human nature
A more neutral and less empathetic voice would make it even better
