Survival of the nicest

how altruism made us human and why it pays to get along
2014
Klein?s groundbreaking findings lead him to a vexing question: If we?re really hard-wired to act for one another?s benefit, why aren?t we all getting along? He believes we?ve learned to mistrust our instincts because success is so often attributed to selfish ambition, and with an extraordinary array of material?current research on genetics and the brain, economics, social psychology, behavioral and anthropological experiments, history, and modern culture?he makes the case that generosity for its own sake remains the best way to thrive.
