Do We Need To Be So Screwed Up?!: A New Evolutionary Perspective on Happiness

Modern life is full of problems - increasingly we see damaged and disturbed children, mental health problems, addictions of many kinds, antisocial behaviour, and crime, violence and war. So it seems sensible to ask: does life have to be this way? Was it always like this for human beings? We've been around for maybe as much as two million years: surely we didn't evolve to live such difficult and dysfunctional lives? Do We Need To Be So Screwed-Up?! sets out to discover the answer to this question and presents a paradigm-busting re-evaluation of human nature and our potential for happiness.
