mmmmmmike 's review for:
Humankind: A Hopeful History
by Rutger Bregman
It's lazy to be a cynic. It's even lazier to say you're a realistic to cover up the fact that you're a cynic. I would be lying if I said I haven't been cynical, at times. It's a weird shortcut towards looking smart like a critical thinker. I'd be lying if I said I didn't dress that cynicism up as idealism once in awhile.
This book is not perfect but its really good for one particular reason. It invites one away from the walled off worlds of optimism and pessimism or idealism and fatalism and suggests that maybe there is a human place that is both better for all, sustainable, and attainable
In the afterglow of reading this book, the walls of those inner kingdoms are down and the selves that occupied them are meeting in the middle ground, introducing themselves, and setting a time to meet for coffee.
