Girls are much more likely, especially at that moment and time when they are transitioning from childhood to adulthood, a to be very, very focused on social group. And soand we see this, that the modern technology that is deranging boys and girls is different. Ah, sure, our politics are different, but it doesn't matter. A is, yo are our girls. You girls and boys are different, right? O, we are. We are all human. But girls and boys were different. Theres an abundant, good literature on this as well.
We are living through the most prosperous age in all of human history, yet people are more listless, divided and miserable than ever. Wealth and comfort are unparalleled, and yet our political landscape grows ever more toxic, and rates of suicide, loneliness, and chronic illness continue to skyrocket. How do we explain the gap between these two truths? What’s more, what can we do to close it?
For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein, the cause of our woes is clear: the modern world is out of sync with our ancient brains and bodies. The cognitive dissonance spawned by trying to live in a society we’re not built for is killing us.
Heying and Weinstein cut through the politically fraught discourse surrounding issues like sex, gender, diet, parenting, sleep, education, and more to outline a science-based worldview that will empower you to live a better, wiser life. They distill more than 20 years of research and first-hand accounts from the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth into straightforward principles and guidance for confronting our culture of hyper-novelty.
