It was mentioned as a hopeful book about human nature, using examples like 9/11 and the Titanic to illustrate the idea that people are inherently good.
With a long history chock full of slavery, genocide and war, it's easy to start thinking that perhaps human beings are inherently bad, but author and historian Rutger Bregman has an entirely different view. He believes that most people deep down are pretty decent and he's rounded up a slew of examples from many of the worst moments in recorded human history to back up his claim from the tragedy of 9-11 to the sinking of the Titanic, from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps. Bregman explains how unwavering human kindness and genuine altruism have always triumphed, even in the most horrifying situations.
