The Better Angels of Our Nature: A History of Violence and Humanity by Steven Pinker challenges conventional views on human nature and violence. Pinker argues that, despite contemporary media coverage of violence, we may actually be living in the most peaceful era in human history. Drawing on psychology, history, and data, Pinker debunks the myth that humans are inherently violent, showing how violence has steadily declined over time. This thought-provoking book offers a compelling look at the evolution of violence and human progress, making it a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the true nature of our species.
