Episode 19 - Introducing my new book 'Humanise'
Manage episode 446044595 series 2983374
In this special episode, I talk about my new book, 'Humanise: how knowing ourselves could change the world'. Some of the ideas behind the format for the book evolved from previous episodes of the 'Humans & Hope' podcast.
Humanise is a popular psychology book that reveals the latest understanding of how human beings think and behave, and shows how we could use this knowledge to tackle some of our biggest challenges, from obesity to violence to climate change, and build a better future for people and our planet. It therefore aims to bring together some of the previous themes we discussed in the podcast and explore them at a deeper level, as well as why human beings seem to be struggling generally in the modern world, and how we can build a world fit for the creatures we really are. It is a book of big ideas challenging some of our most cherished beliefs about ourselves, and the ideas, institutions and societies that surround us. The audio is taken from a talk I did about the book.
You can buy it from Amazon and all good bookshops from October 25th 2024.
