Im Grunde gut. Eine neue Geschichte der Menschheit

Rutger Bregman presents a hopeful view of human nature; I'm curious what motivated him to write this perspective and how he gathered his evidence.

The book made me reevaluate my assumptions about people, but I wonder if others felt similarly or still have lingering doubts about human goodness.

Bregman uses numerous stories to illustrate his points. I'm interested in what guided his choices—were there stories he wanted to include but had to leave out?
