I wouldn’t go so far as to say this book will most certainly change your life. The basic thing this book can provide to you is an interesting perspective on humankind and how things came to be this way. Its hard to ignore the points brought up about the human way of existing above and beyond the law of the community of life and the limits of competition. The book takes a certain negative outlook towards the way in which current society acts (against nature) but theres no reason to get bent out of shape about it. Regardless of the anthropological foundations and interpretations the story purports, if you are level headed you will realize this book for what it is: another signpost along the path, choose to read it or not, because there’s thousands of ways to get to the same end.
