About the book
Christopher Ryan challenges the traditional narrative of human progress, questioning whether modern civilization has truly made us happier and healthier. Investigating our evolutionary origins and the habits of traditional societies, the author exposes the contradictions between what we're promised and what we actually experience in terms of well-being, relationships, and meaning.
A provocative work that re-examines our assumptions about advancement, progress, and what it means to live well.
