Acclaimed by the Guardian as the ‘Sapiens of 2020’, Humankind offers a revolutionary new view of human nature: one that argues people are essentially good. Providing a new perspective on the last 200,000 years of human history, bestselling author and historian Rutger Bregman (Utopia for Realists) shows how believing in kindness and altruism can change our world. Rutger Bregman’s Utopia for Realists was translated into more than 30 languages, and his TED talk on the subject of poverty has been viewed more than three million times. He was recently ranked number 10 in the Big Issue’s Top 100 Changemakers of 2020. This talk was recorded at the online 5x15 event on 5th October 2020.
