THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A Guardian, Daily Telegraph, New Statesman and Daily Express Book of the Year

‘Hugely, highly and happily recommended’
Stephen Fry

‘You should read Humankind. You’ll learn a lot (I did) and you’ll have good reason to feel better about the human race’
Tim Harford

‘The book we need right now’
Daily Telegraph

'Made me see humanity from a fresh perspective'
Yuval Noah Harari

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 bestselling 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.©2020 Rutger Bregman (P)2020 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Philosophie Ökonomie

A great book from an insightful writer. I loved every detail and tale in the book and some of the factoids were shocking to me. Hope more books from Rutger Bregman would be translated into English and turn into audiobooks.

a bit too optimistic for me but a great book!

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!

The stories and the takings are great, heart warming and should be taught in schools ! It’s one of the best books I read over the past 10 years!

This should be taught in schools!

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.

Expanding you world view

An incredibly well written book that is bound to change your outlook on humankind. This is stuff that should be taught in schools to ensure a better and more kind world.

Must read for anyone in this era of cynicism

A much-needed correction of prevailing cynical and fatigue-inducing preconceptions of humanity, based on solid scientific research as well as analyses of historical and current events. I rarely say this, but I wish everyone would read or listen to this book.

Great speaker too, I loved the rhythm and tone of his voice.

An encouraging in-depth examination of humanity

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

Provoking and interesting

One of the most precious books I've ever read (listened to), inspires you to dare to trust and being open for the good in everybody.

So important to read
