There is a belief that unites leftists and rightists, psychologists and philosophers, writers and historians. From Machiavelli to Hobbes and from Freud to Dawkins, this belief is deeply rooted in Western thought. We learn that humans are inherently selfish and self-interested.
In "Humankind," a new argument is proposed: that it is both realistic and revolutionary to consider that humans are good. The instinct for cooperation instead of competition, for trust instead of distrust, has an evolutionary basis that goes back to the dawn of our species. Believing the worst about others not only affects how we see our fellow humans but also impacts politics and economics.
Rutger Bregman, author of many international bestsellers, takes some of the most well-known studies and famous events in the world and redefines them, offering a new perspective on the last 200,000 years of human history, showing us how believing in human kindness and altruism can change the way we think – and can be the foundation for truly changing our society. It is time for a new view of human nature.

An excellent approach to human society. Through the reconstruction of specific historical events that have been distorted in our ears, it proves that humanity is not ultimately characterized by inhumanity... There are certainly objections to the one-sided approach, but it is a wonderful treatment of human society that it would be good for everyone to keep in mind in these challenging times...
A radical book that can shake anyone and definitely another way to see humanity, supported by a multitude of arguments. Because (as the author states) humanity needs its own placebo and finally, based on its good elements, bring about the change it deserves.
Highly recommended, very helpful and the writing style used is commendable.
If I have something negative to say, it might be the quality of the book's paper.
It is a particularly interesting book that never stops offering knowledge. I was impressed by the abundance of stories and examples that the author brought to support his positions. I really liked it. Surely not everything is as "dark" as we believe!
Extremely detailed book that makes you see society and yourself with a different perspective. Very good translation.
The optimistic side of humanity and its evolution.
The first afternoon I held it in my hands, I read 120 pages. Truly easy to read and with a very good flow. Very explanatory! What else can I say. Others have already said it.
What I want to add is that the research done by Rutger Bergman is inexhaustible!! The main text goes up to page 382. After that, until page 438, which means in the next 56 pages, there are *780* individual references to bibliography and author's sources. That's the depth of the research that has been done.
Very interesting and optimistic book for those who feel that everything is going from bad to worse in humanity.
