Summary

*We need your support to continue the show! If you've listened to more than a few episodes and have learned from our work, please join our Patreon today: www.greendreamer.com/support

Rutger Bregman is a historian and the author of the New York Times Bestselling book 'Utopia for Realists' and 'Humankind: A Hopeful History'.

In this podcast episode, Rutger sheds light on how our human evolution has actually been about the survival of the friendliest rather than the fittest; how power literally changes people's brains and makes them less able to empathize and see the humanity in others; why we need a perspective shift on our human nature to transform our future; and more.
