Why people recommend it
Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman is a historical and sociological exploration arguing that human nature is fundamentally cooperative rather than inherently selfish. Jordan Harbinger recommended the book on The Jordan Harbinger Show during conversations about human nature and social data that contradict overly pessimistic views of society, and he later asked guest Nicholas Christakis if he had read it. Joe Rogan also discussed the book on The Joe Rogan Experience with Andy Norman, noting that Bregman explores how negative expectations and nocebos can influence human behavior. Chris Williamson featured Bregman on Modern Wisdom and subsequently linked the hopeful history in his show notes, while also connecting concepts from the book to evolutionary theories discussed by guest Dr. Tania Reynolds, specifically noting Bregman's discussion on the puppification of humans and the evocation of care. Robert Evans mentioned reading the book on Behind the Bastards as a source of concepts regarding human behavior and the varied nature of humanity.
