Humankind

"Humankind" by Rutger Bregman challenges the commonly held belief that humans are inherently selfish and self-interested, proposing instead that cooperation, trust, and kindness are rooted in our evolutionary history. Through a reexamination of famous studies and historical events, the book presents a compelling argument for viewing human nature in a more optimistic light. Bregman’s work encourages readers to reconsider societal norms and foster a more hopeful perspective on human potential and behavior.
