As I start this book in March 2020 the world is in the grip of a global pandemic. Lives are being lost in countries all across the world as the infection increases its grip on the nation after nation. People are afraid, people are panic buying, people are losing loved ones, people are getting sick, and all of a sudden, the world is a very scary place to live in.
The predicament we find ourselves in has made me think about human nature and how our collective human nature led us to this, and to think also about how our individual human natures will survive this unprecedented time in history.
So it was against the backdrop of the Corona Virus 19 that I decided to write this book in the hope that it will help us understand human nature, our own and other peoples, and maybe learn something that will help us avoid these situations in the future. And if we can’t avoid these situations and it is certain that there will be more tests in-store for us, I hope this book will teach us how we can use the positive power of human nature to prevail.
