Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Risse. This book engages readers of all beliefs and backgrounds, prompting deep reflection on critical aspects of daily life, including love, food, work, and our interactions with others and the planet. It tackles timeless questions about existence and meaning, integrating insights from ancient texts across cultures with contemporary issues like Covid-19, conspiracy theories, and modern dating. The narrative challenges the notion of 'human progress' as posited by authors like Harari and Pinker, suggesting instead that human history is a cycle of recurring stories shaped by both animal traits and our unique fixation on cosmic purpose amidst the inevitability of death. It explores how organized religions emerged with agriculture and civilization, while also revealing how industrial advancements have led to increased inequality and societal issues such as oppression and stress. Drawing on psychology, biology, and cross-cultural studies, the author portrays humanity as a 'Homo irrationalis,' often lost in fictional narratives about duty and identity. These tales, while problematic, serve vital functions in coping with life's challenges. With optimism, the author illustrates the complexity of human experience, emphasizing that we are not superior to other species but share a rich tapestry of beliefs and desires. This message has profound implications for our understanding and appreciation of life on Earth.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Whatever are your beliefs, background, education, political views or interests, one thing is sure: this book will engage you, teach you something new, and more importantly make you to re-think deeply about critical aspects of your daily-life, including sex, love, food, physical activities, diseases, work and stress, and how you see and deal with other people, other animals, and the planet in general. Indeed, it focuses on topics that have fascinated people from all places and historical periods since times immemorial: Why are we here What is the meaning of life Are we progressing, and will we thrive It does this by integrating in a unique fashion information from ancient Greek, Sumerian, Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Christian and Muslim texts to high-tech brain research, facts about near-death experiences, Covid-19, QAnon conspiracies, virtual reality and dating aps; from Adam and Eve to the rise of misogyny and racism to Black Lives Matter, Me-Too, Hollywood romantic movies and Disney fairy-tales. Contrary to notions about 'human progress' and 'Homo Deus' defended by authors such as Harari, Pinker and Dawkins, it shows that human history instead involves the repetition of similar imaginary tales created by a combination of traits found in other animals and the uniquely human obsession about 'cosmic purpose' stories related to our awareness of death's inevitability. Organized religions appeared later, chiefly during the rise of agriculture and 'civilizations'. Diogo navigates mesmerizing untold stories revealing a paradox: these events and the industrial 'revolution' increased inequality, oppression, slavery, subjugation of women, famines, plagues, 'work', stress, and suicides. Data from psychology, biology, neurobiology, and cross-cultural studies of hunter-gatherers and so-called 'developed' societies reveal an even more profound paradox: within all forms of life, the 'sapient being' is the one immersed in Neverland's world of unreality - truly a Homo irrationalis, fictus and socialis believing in fictional tales about cosmic 'duties', 'romantic meant to be', demons, inferior 'races' and 'genders', conspiracies, and 'justified' slavery, warfare, genocides, and animal abuses. Importantly, such tales play, on the other hand, crucial functions such as help coping with death and a plethora of societal troubles, decreasing stress, or preventing drug and alcohol abuse. An optimist and passionate wondered and wanderer, Diogo provides enthralling details about the history of religion, discrimination, romantic love, warfare, diseases and Earth's biodiversity illustrating how 'virtue is in the middle' and that we - with our intriguing combination of beliefs, bodily needs and desires, artistic abilities, and mismatches between our senses' illusions and the cosmos' reality - are not 'better' or 'worse' than the other millions of captivating living species. This powerful and urgently needed message has critical repercussions for how we understand, care about, and mindfully enjoy living in this splendid planet, in the reality of here and now.Pre-publication comments:'I applaud the enormous work that Diogo has invested in this follow-up to his widely acclaimed Evolution driven by organismal behavior book, and the challenge of getting people to think beyond and outside of our usual set of definitions and expectations. The case-studies provided in the book are fascinating and insightful' (Drew Noden, Award-winning Emeritus Professor, Cornell University)'Rui Diogo is becoming the Slavoj Zizek of evolutionary biology' (Marcelo Sanchez-Villagra, Director of the Paleontological Institute and Museum of the University of Zurich).
