The inspiration behind the hit podcast THE 100 TYPES OF HUMAN with
DEXTER DIAS and BBC 5 Live host NIHAL ARTHANAYAKE 'This book is the
one. Think Sapiens and triple it.' - Julia Hobsbawm, author of
Fully Connected _______________________________ We all have ten
types of human in our head. They're the people we become when we
face life's most difficult decisions. We want to believe there are
things we would always do - or things we never would. But how can
we be sure? What are our limits? Do we have limits? The Ten Types
of Human is a pioneering examination of human nature. It looks at
the best and worst that human beings are capable of, and asks why.
It explores the frontiers of the human experience, uncovering the
forces that shape our thoughts and actions in extreme situations.
From courtrooms to civil wars, from Columbus to child soldiers,
Dexter Dias takes us on a globe-spanning journey in search of
answers, touching on the lives of some truly exceptional people.
Combining cutting-edge neuroscience, social psychology and human
rights research, The Ten Types of Human is a provocative map to our
hidden selves. It provides a new understanding of who we are - and
who we can be. _______________________________ 'The Ten Types of
Human is a fantastic piece of non-fiction, mixing astonishing
real-life cases with the latest scientific research to provide a
guide to who we really are. It's inspiring and essential.' -
Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit 'I emerged from this
book feeling better about almost everything... a mosaic of faces
building into this extraordinary portrait of our species.' -
Guardian 'Uplifting and indispensable.' - Howard Cunnell
