Humankind is a good book by the authors Rutger Bregman, Erica Moore, Elizabeth Manton.
The New York Times best-selling author argues that people thrive in a crisis and that our innate kindness and cooperation are the biggest factors in our long run. .
If there is one belief that has been united between left and right, psychologists and philosophers, ancient thinkers and modern people, it is the implicit assumption that humans are evil. It is a concept that drives newspaper headlines and guides the laws that shape our lives.

The international bestseller Rutger Bregman offers a new perspective on human history over the past 200,000 years, to demonstrate that we are willing to move towards kindness, towards cooperation rather than competition, and tend towards trust rather than doubt each other. In fact, this instinct has a solid evolutionary basis from the early days of Homo sapiens.

From potential flaws in the Stanford prison experiment to the true story of twin brothers on opposite sides of the road that helped Mandela end apartheid, Bregman shows us faith in humanity. Generosity and cooperation are not merely optimistic – but realistic. When we think the worst about people, it leads to the worst in our politics and economy. But if we believe in the reality of human kindness and altruism, it lays the groundwork for achieving real change in society, a case that Bregman convincingly lays out. Characteristic wit, refreshing frankness and memorable storytelling.
