Descriere Disconnected: The Roots of Human Cruelty and How Connection Can Heal the World - Author Of 'the Leap' A Steve Taylor Phd

'Essential reading in this day and age.' Bernardo Kastrup, philosopher, author of Why Materialism is BaloneyDisConnected offers a new vision of human nature and a new understanding of human behaviour and social problems. Connection is the most essential human trait - it determines our behaviour and our level of well-being. Cruelty is the result of a sense of disconnection, while goodness stems from connection. Unfortunately, the most disconnected people gravitate to positions of power, which leads to pathocracy, the most common form of government during the 20th century. Disconnected societies are patriarchal, hierarchical and warlike. Connected societies are egalitarian, democratic and peaceful. We can measure both social progress and personal development in terms of how far we move along a continuum of connection. At the most essential level, we are always interconnected. Altruism and spirituality are experiences of our fundamental connection. Regaining awareness of our connection is the only way by which we can live in harmony with ourselves, one another, and the world itself.
