Rediscovering the Wisdom of Human Nature

This book was written to get us in touch with our own human nature—the inborn recipe of requirements for human wellbeing.

In case you haven't noticed, civilization wants us to follow a totally different recipe—one that keeps telling us to ignore what we feel, and act otherwise. This book tells the truth about what humans need to be happy, and how our civilized way of life insists that we spend the vast majority of our time doing the opposite of what we feel.

Evolution made us what we are—feeling beings. And that is how humanity lived, developed, and thrived, in intimate small groups of people who trusted, supported, and protected each other completely. Today, we all live largely in a state of emotional isolation from others. We feel the absence of intimacy—our most powerful need.

Most modern humans are aware of the anxieties and irritations of our modern lives, but we accept them as part of life-itself. So, most readers of this book will be shocked to find out how many of those things we call problems are not our own fault, at all, but are brought on by the unnatural weight of what civilization requires of us, emotionally. It wasn't just to shock you that I wrote this book. I wrote it to bring a change in perspective that will free us from the grip that modern institutions now have on the psyche of every human alive.

Aceasta carte a fost scrisa pentru a ne pune in legatura cu propria noastra natura umana - reteta innascuta a cerintelor pentru bunastarea umana. In cazul in care nu ati observat, civilizatia vrea sa urmam o reteta total diferita - una care ne spune in permanenta sa ignoram ceea ce simtim si sa actionam altfel.
