The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies?
About this episode
For all our modern advancements, are we wiser? Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jared Diamond argues that we’ve forgotten essential truths about how to live. For millennia, humanity thrived in small, traditional societies. In The World Until Yesterday, Diamond takes us on a revelatory journey to explore their solutions for child-rearing, conflict resolution, and elder care. He reveals that the blueprint for a healthier, more connected life isn’t in the future, but hidden in the wisdom of our collective past. It’s a profound look at what we’ve lost and what we can reclaim.
