Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman
5.0

One of the most excellent books I've read in recent memory. Bregman may have singlehandedly convinced me of humanity's good nature and how we actually aren't all evil creatures. I would've appreciated more of a dissection of how colonialism could be explained by his "new realism", but most other examples used to provide answers to humanity's darker sides I think he argued against convincingly. If you want to become a little bit more of an optimist I highly suggest this book, as I think we should all be attempting to move away from the Hobbesian view of humanity.
