Humankind
What if people are fundamentally good? In Humankind, internationally bestselling author Rutger Bregman challenges the cynical view of human nature that underpins much of modern leadership and business strategy. Instead, he builds a compelling case for trust, empathy, and collaboration — values that can transform how we build teams, lead organizations, and shape workplace culture. A refreshing, hopeful read for leaders who believe kindness belongs at the core of work.
Human beings, we're taught, are by nature selfish and governed by self-interest. In Humankind, internationally bestselling author Rutger Bregman makes a new argument: that it is realistic, as well as revolutionary, to assume that people are good.
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.
