À propos de cet audio

 A provocative exploration of the tension between our evolutionary history and our modern woes—and what we can do about it.

We are living through the most prosperous age in all of human history, yet we are listless, divided, and miserable. Wealth and comfort are unparalleled, but our political landscape is unmoored, and rates of suicide, lone­liness, and chronic illness continue to skyrocket. How do we explain the gap between these truths? And how should we respond?

For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein, the cause of our troubles is clear: the accelerat­ing rate of change in the modern world has outstripped the capacity of our brains and bodies to adapt. We evolved to live in clans, but today many people don’t even know their neighbors’ names. In our haste to discard outdated gender roles, we increasingly deny the flesh-and-blood realities of sex—and its ancient roots. The cognitive dissonance spawned by trying to live in a society we are not built for is killing us.

In this book, Heying and Weinstein draw on decades of their work teaching in college classrooms and explor­ing Earth’s most biodiverse ecosystems to confront today’s pressing social ills—from widespread sleep deprivation and dangerous diets to damaging parenting styles and back­ward education practices. Asking the questions many mod­ern people are afraid to ask, A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century outlines a science-based worldview that will empower you to live a better, wiser life.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Husband and wife team Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein bring their vast knowledge of evolutionary biology to bear on the problems that beset us. Wide-ranging and illuminating, A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century posits an intriguing, surprising, and profound view of human nature.”
—DR. JORDAN B. PETERSON, author of Beyond Order, 12 Rules for Life, and Maps of Meaning

“A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century is the human story retold in beautiful language and moving metaphors. Heying and Weinstein are professorial in the best possible sense: they exemplify the intellectual humility, nuanced thinking, and love of learning that a great liberal arts education should nurture. Everyone who is raising or educating kids, or who wants to change social systems, should first read this book.”
—JONATHAN HAIDT, coauthor of The Coddling of the American Mind and author of The Righteous Mind

“I have never read such a bold, well-researched, and succinct exploration of the puzzling predica­ment we find ourselves in. Anyone who wonders why the most comfortable society in history—our own—has such astronomical rates of depression, anxiety, and poor health will find abundant answers in A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century.”
—SEBASTIAN JUNGER, author of The Perfect Storm, War, Tribe, and Freedom

“Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein are the brilliant, irresistible professors every student dreams of having. In their hands, complex technical ideas become accessible—and exhilarating. A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century is based on serious science, but it reads like an adventure story.”
—CHRISTINA HOFF SOMMERS, philosopher, author, and host of The Factual Feminist

“A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century has given me at least five evolutionary concepts that have become central to my way of viewing the world.”
—JAMIE WHEAL, executive director of the Flow Genome Project and coauthor of Stealing Fire

“Bret and Heather are highly regarded evolutionary biologists, very clear thinkers and communica­tors, and as attested to by their notoriety from the madness that their school put them through, they value scientific truth over political correctness.”
—ROBERT SAPOLSKY, author of Behave and A Primate’s Memoir

Listened to it, and I'm probably going to listen to it again. Wonderfully broken down into simple yet complex topics, Bret and Heather hit it out of the park. Bret may make jokes about his wife's voice being easier to listen to, and he would be right, they both are easy to listen to.

Great book, must listen to it again.

Well presented facts and information framed in a way that is coherent, respectful, digestible and socially challenging in the best sense. I feel as if I am better equipped to challenge my own biases and beliefs. I believe this book warrants second listen. Thank you to the Authors and publisher.

An important work and perspective in today's world

An interesting adaptation of evolutionary theory through a present-day societal lens. Some great lessons to be learned and thoughtful and nuanced perspectives.

Amazing read.

Very well written and researched, this book is basically a summary of what a person who has lived a life full of travel and experience in different social and career realms would be able to feel on an intuitive level but struggle to put into words nearly as eloquently as this book. If you’re curious about why life in the modern world feels so odd and detached at times, while still having plenty of awesome stuff to offer thanks to modern societies, this book will help elaborate your thoughts.

Thorough

Fascinating insights, but heavy on the desire to recite long lists of what you should and shouldn’t do.

Interesting but preachy

A fantastic listen showcasing the state of our modern life through a very unique lens. Maybe not everything but you will hear something that will definitely give you pause for consideration.
Both Author's did a good job with narration, only critique was their cadence at times.

Great perspective of life in our modern times

this book is fantastic for coming to understand the human condition. between the two of them they give you a pretty good idea of how you can live "better" and happier, by playing with natural responses that already exist in your body

fantastic book. read it today
