In life, in all but the very modern, weird, capital all capitalized, western educated, industrialized, rich, democratic society, a act as the sex to which they are born. A lot of people are gender nonconforming without ever having any disphoria and never imagining that liking boy style things makes me a boy. We will have respect and provide environments in which people can live the lives in which they ah they feel the truest to themselvesWithout abandoning reality, and without abandoning the hard won rights of women, and also of children, and of homosexuals who are put at risk by trans activism.

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.
