I read it a few years ago, it's a real game changer in terms of how we see and think about the world. I was reminded about it just now and wondered if anyone else on here had read it? | |

In a nutshell Pete, a completely different way of looking at history. But it's more than than that. One of the key questions he posits is: are people happier now, in the modern age, than they were, say, pre the agricultural revolution? And if not, then is the narrative about progress wrong? But he goes even deeper than that, changes the way you look at everything. Very, very good. | |
