Book SynopsisHow to be more human
For 95 per cent of our time on earth, Homo sapiens were hunter gatherers. Back in the long millennia of prehistory we met a few hundred people in a lifetime; today it''s countless thousands. Back then we only cared about what directly affected us; now the news plugs our emotions into the agonies of the world. Back then our days were shaped by practical purpose; now we''re endlessly searching for distraction and dopamine hits. Back then we were nurtured by nature; now we''re surrounded by screens.
The world has utterly transformed, but our brains and bodies haven''t. We''re navigating the super-speed age with kit that evolved for the Stone Age. The result? Many are tired, wired, stressed and depressed. Between the mental health problems we''re suffering and the material progress we''re enjoying is an uncomfortable truth: we are not living the way that human beings evolved to live. But what can we do about it?
