You Are Not Civilized (Paperback)

Paperback. We like to believe we are civilized.History suggests otherwise.In this provocative book, Gary Hewitt argues that humanity never outgrew its emotional childhood. The evidence is everywhere: political tantrums, leaders driven by insecurity, tribal identities masquerading as morals, and cultures terrified of uncertainty.- When fear rises, we choose strongmen.- When trust dies, imagination fills the gap.- When truth is hidden, conspiracy becomes faith.You Are Not Civilized exposes the psychology behind our most destructive behaviors-obedience, denial, projection, moral outsourcing-and shows why civilizations stumble into fascism, fanaticism, and fantasy when adulthood is avoided This item is printed on demand.
