A Theory of Everyone: Who We Are, How We Got Here, and Where Were Going

English

By (author): Michael Muthukrishna

'Mind expanding - this book will change your view of the world forever' Matthew Syed

A blueprint for a better future.


Playing on the phrase a theory of everything in physics, Michael Muthukrishna offers a unified theory of human behavior, culture, and society - a theory of everyone.

Drawing on the most recent research across the sciences, humanities, and the emerging field of cultural evolution, he paints a panoramic picture of who we are and exactly what makes human beings different from all other forms of life on the planet.

Muthukrishna argues that it is our unique ability to create culture, a shared body of knowledge, skills, and experience passed on from generation to generation that has enabled our current dominance. But it is only by understanding and applying the laws of life - the need for energy, innovation, cooperation and evolution - that we can solve the practical and existential challenges we face as a species.

A Theory of Everyone attempts to provide solutions for how to solve the most pressing problems of our collective future, such as polarization, inequality, the great stagnation in productivity, and the energy crisis. Casting a bold and ambitious net, this is a must-read for anyone interested in a better future for ourselves and generations to come.
