'I emerged from this book feeling better about almost everything...
a mosaic of faces building into this extraordinary portrait of our
species.' Guardian '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 'Uplifting and
indispensable.' Howard Cunnell This book will introduce you to ten
people. In a way, you already know them. Only you don't - not
really. In a sense, they are you. Only they're not entirely. They
inform and shape the most important decisions in your life. But
you're almost certainly unaware of their intervention. They are the
Ten Types of Human. Who are they? What are they for? How did they
get into your head? We want to believe that there are some things
we would never do. We want to believe that there are others we
always would. But how can we be sure? What are our limits? Do we
have limits? The answer lies with the Ten Types of Human: the
people we become when we are faced with life's most difficult
decisions. But who or what are these Types? Where do they come
from? How did they get into our heads? 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, excavating the forces that
shape our thoughts and actions in extreme situations. It begins in
a courtroom and journeys across four continents and through the
lives of some exceptional people, in search of answers. Mixing
cutting-edge neuroscience, social psychology and human rights
research, The Ten Types of Human is at once a provocation and a map
to our hidden selves. It provides a new understanding of who we are
- and who we can be.
