        It's a great book. For people thinking the Left has gone mad (like me), Pinker is the best example of left wing ideas. Also the most convincing arguments against Trump. Vis-a-vis Nietzsche's ideas.

        Is it no wonder? I’m head over heels over this book, I must own a hard copy for constant reminders and quick reference, currently debating on whether to re listen or start on The better angels of our nature!

        What a fantastic book this is - I found it fascinating and uplifting - it is so good to see the facts rather than the doom and gloom news. If I have one criticism, it is that Brexit statistics appear with Trump election statistics which to me is comparing apples and pears.

        My friend Liz is enjoying your book and telling us all at work about it. In regards to the contradiction between the optimistic individual vs pessimistic world view: were these views similar before mass media/printing press? Would an isolated tribe feel the same?
