It was quite an interesting book, filled with information about such subjects as fasting and it’s benefits, grains and its harmfulness, facts about obesity and where the humanity is headed with overeating, and many more. As it says in the description, it is not a diet book, it doesn’t give you any meal plans or rules to follow. The only rule is EAT LESS! 😀

It is written in an easy and understandable manner followed by pictures, so it was a fun and quick read for me. I did like the research done for this book but there are many things which I do not agree with. It tells you about the benefits of certain actions, but it doesn’t talk about dangers it can cause to your health.

So, to conclude, it is a great book if you need an “eye-opener” or a “kick to your backside” towards that healthy eating journey. It offers facts, advice and it did get me thinking, but I think you should consult with your doctor first, and do your own research before following any diets, everyone is different, and what fits one, might not be suitable for another.

Humankind sets out to prove that human beings are essentially nice people who want to help other people. Except over the centuries, philosophers, politicians and other influential people have told us the complete opposite - to the point that we believe it. I think Bregman is successful at this as well. Help does come in the most unexpected places, as we’ve seen recently in towns and cities across the UK during the coronavirus pandemic. Yes, there are those who take advantage of others, but I’d like to believe that they’re in the minority.

This is a really engaging, easy to read book, with some great examples. Bregman looks at studies and experiments that all types of scientists have done, and also looks at some real life examples.

This book left me feeling very positive about the state of humanity, and I hope that the good people in our societies will always outnumber the bad.

I really do highly recommend this if you’re prevaricating over whether to read it or not. It’s a great read.

Many thanks to The Pigeonhole and Rutger Bregman for reading along!
