Humanise: How knowing ourselves could change the world

By: Docwra, Richard

Do you think you understand people? Think again.

Most of us have a completely inaccurate picture of how we, and other human beings, think and behave. This leads us to set unrealistic expectations for ourselves, build societies that actually harm us, and struggle to solve the major problems facing our species.

In this ground-breaking book, Richard Docwra reveals the astonishing truth about how human beings think and behave and shows how this knowledge could help us address some of our biggest challenges, from violence to climate change, and build a better future. It argues that we need to humanise the societies we have built around us if we are to flourish and survive as a species.

It is a book of big ideas that will challenge your most cherished beliefs about yourself, and the ideas, institutions and societies that surround you.
