It
took us 4 billion years to evolve to where we are now. No question,
anyone reading this has won the evolutionary Hunger Games by the fact
you're on all twos and not some fossil. This should make us all the
happiest species alive - most of us aren't, what's gone wrong?
We've
started treating ourselves more like machines and less like humans.
We're so used to upgrading things like our iPhones: as soon as the new
one comes out, we don't think twice, we dump it. (Many people I know are
now on iWife4 or iHusband8, the motto being, if it's new, it's better.)
We can't stop the future from arriving, no matter what drugs we're on. But
even if nearly every part of us becomes robotic, we'll still, fingers
crossed, have our minds, which, hopefully, we'll be able use for things
like compassion, rather than chasing what's 'better', and if we can do
that we're on the yellow brick road to happiness.
I wrote this
book with a little help from a monk, who explains how the mind works,
and also gives some mindfulness exercises, and a neuroscientist who
explains what makes us 'us' in the brain.
We answer every question
you've ever had about: evolution, thoughts, emotions, the body,
addictions, relationships, kids, the future and compassion. How to be Human is extremely funny, true and the only manual you'll need to help you upgrade your mind as much as you've upgraded your iPhone.
