Many babies died in infancy. A broken bone, infected wound, snakebite, or difficult pregnancy could be life-threatening. But ultimately, Christopher Ryan questions, were these pre-civilized dangers more murderous than modern scourges, such as car accidents, cancers, cardiovascular disease, and a technologically prolonged dying process? Civilized to Death “will make you see our so-called progress in a whole new light” (Book Riot) and adds to the timely conversation that “the way we have been living is no longer sustainable, at least as long as we want to the earth to outlive us” (Psychology Today). Ryan makes the claim that we should start looking backwards to find our way into a better future.

Produktinformasjon

Oppdag "Civilized to Death: The Price of Progress"

Er du nysgjerrig på hvordan vår moderne livsstil faktisk kan være mer skadelig enn vi tror? Civilized to Death: The Price of Progress er en tankevekkende reise inn i hjertet av vår sivilisasjon, skrevet av Christopher Ryan, co-forfatteren av den bestselgende boken "Sex at Dawn". Boken utfordrer den utbredte oppfatningen om at «fremgang» er synonymt med forbedring og stiller spørsmål ved om vårt nåværende liv er virkelig bærekraftig.

Hva handler boken om?

Ryan tar oss med på en reise gjennom tidene, hvor han undersøker hvordan vår oppfatning av fremskritt har endret seg og hvordan det påvirker vår hverdag. Han argumenterer for at mange av de utfordringene vi står overfor i dag, som sykdommer, stress og samfunnsmessige kriser, kan være et resultat av vår sivilisasjon og dens «fremskritt». Boken tar opp emner som:

  • Mat og helse: Hvordan vår moderne diett påvirker helse og velvære.
  • Utdanning og læring: Er vårt måltall på kunnskap og læring riktig?
  • Relasjoner og familie: Hvordan har våre forbindelser blitt forvrengt av samfunnsutviklingen?
  • Arbeidsliv: Ser vi egentlig fremgang, eller er vi fanget i et system som stresser oss mer enn det gir?

Hvorfor du bør lese "Civilized to Death"

Denne boken skaper ikke bare bevissthet om de skjulte kostnadene ved vår moderne livsstil; den utfordrer oss også til å revurdere våre egne livsvalg. Med sin velorganiserte struktur og grundige dokumentasjon, gjør Ryan komplekse emner lettfattelige og tilgjengelige. Boken gir oss også en mulighet til å reflektere over hva fremgang virkelig innebærer og hvordan vi kan finne inspirasjon fra fortiden for å navigere mot en bedre fremtid.

Unn deg selv en dypere forståelse av verden rundt oss. Bestill Civilized to Death: The Price of Progress i dag, og bli med på en oppdagelsesreise som kan endre hvordan du ser på livet! Bli en av de som våger å stille spørsmål ved status quo, og ta første skritt mot en bærekraftig tilnærming til fremtiden.
