About the book
Jared Diamond examines how traditional societies around the world deal with fundamental questions of human life—from raising children to conflict resolution, aging, and death. Through personal observations among the peoples of New Guinea and reflections on our own modern society, the author questions Western assumptions and demonstrates that progress does not always mean improvement. A work that broadens perspectives on social organization, mental health, and quality of life.
