Hope for Cynics

The Surprising Science of Human Goodness

Book • 2024

In this book, Jamil Zaki presents an antidote to the cynicism corroding our social health.

Through rigorous scientific research and fascinating narratives, Zaki advocates for 'hopeful skepticism'—thinking critically about people and our problems while honoring and encouraging our strengths.

The book challenges the belief that humanity is inherently selfish and provides practical tips and moving stories to help build a more trusting and cooperative society, ultimately leading to a more optimistic future.
