Produktbeschreibung
At the core of How to Be Human is the theory that our older evolutionary adaptations are sabotaging our higher aims. Every society throughout history has been warned about giving in to their animal nature, but thanks to recent insights we have the unique privilege of getting to the heart of this defect. This false efficiency has lured people to quit striving and focus on base animal activities: consuming, socializing, lounging, and so on. By pushing against these lures, Jacob Kilgore was able to ponder what we are, from our biology to our existential longings, and pen the numerous essays in this book. Finally, what we pass over in the urge to rush is presented in detail. This book will help us to see clearly what we are deep down, why we don't care enough, what beliefs and actions do not add up, where the balance lies in terms of forgiveness, and includes numerous other topics that will help anyone who seeks to refine themselves a clear system in which to do so.

Autorenporträt
Jacob Kilgore studied Creative Writing at the University of California, Riverside (BA degree) in order to improve his storytelling abilities. While teaching English in Korea, where he taught short story and screenplay classes to middle school students, he published his historical fiction novel Vagrant Prince. Years later he published 2 volumes in the How to Be Human series in order to state clearly his practical life philosophy. He then went on to prove he could live up to those ideals by scouting 31 artists from social media and informing and guiding them as part of a commission process for Ophelia (Empowered by content studied in Northcentral University's MBA program). The aims for this book include reminding people that we are capable of great things and putting before today's highly distracted audience the most visually stunning and emotionally captivating book the international team was capable of making.
