Humans: A Brief History of How We F*cked It All Up

Extremely entertaining and deeply depressing in equal measure. Packed with eclectic examples from across human history and the planet of humanity's ongoing propensity to make seriously disastrous mistakes by getting sucked into a whole range of cognitive biases, it reads like a hybrid of Daniel Kahneman, Malcolm Gladwell and Jared Diamond - but with jokes and pop-culture references galore.The simple message? Don't be like the rest of humanity - learn from history. (Even if that's also incredibly difficult due to our tendency to spot patterns and assume similarities that may not be there, and our near-impossible-to-shake assumption that this time it's different, because - well - it's *us*...)

Good to leave near the throne for those trickier turds when you require amusing reading material to pass the minutes

Few books have made me laugh so hard I have had to take a break on public transport. This book is a gem of humour and gives us the ability to laugh, although sometimes in horror at the stupidity that is us humans. Genius.

I was expecting sort of mint condition,just see the picture attached. Else acceptable

Superb book. Entertaining, humorous and enlightening. A must for everyone to know of the weaknesses of Human Beings!
