Invisible Rivals

In Invisible Rivalry, Jonathan R. Goodman explores the complex nature of human morality, combining insights from anthropology, biology, and philosophy to argue that humans are both cooperative and self-interested by nature. He examines how we often present ourselves as acting altruistically while concealing self-serving motives and discusses how recognizing this tendency can help address societal issues like inequality, misinformation, and climate change. The book encourages a nuanced understanding of human behavior as a foundation for rebuilding trust and improving society.
