Rediscovering the Wisdom of Human Nature

<p>This book was written to get us in touch with our human nature―the inborn recipe of requirements for human wellbeing.</p> <p>In case you haven't noticed, civilization wants us to follow a different recipe―one that keeps telling us to ignore what we feel and act otherwise. This book tells the truth about what humans need to be happy, and how our civilized way of life insists that we spend the vast majority of our time doing the opposite of what we feel.</p> <p>Evolution made us what we are―feeling beings. And that is how humanity lived, developed, and thrived, in intimate small groups of people who trusted, supported, and protected each other completely. Today, we all live largely in a state of emotional isolation from others. We feel the absence of intimacy―our most powerful need.</p>
