Publisher's Synopsis
Our understanding of human nature is based on an enormous lie - that humans are intrinsically warlike, aggressive and competitive. Despite abundant and ever-increasing evidence to the contrary, this is what our culture teaches us to believe. But it is a lie. This book unveils the truth, shows the forces that keep us in ignorance, and suggests how we can reclaim our birthright - which is to be peaceable, joyous and free, and to live in harmony with others without hierarchies, force or coercion.
