Michael McCullough teleseminar on "Beyond Revenge: The Evolution of the Forgiveness Instinct"
Why is revenge such a perennial problem for human beings? Where does our ability to forgive come from? Is it possible to make the world a more forgiving, less vengeful place on a large scale, rather than one individual at a time? In his new book, Beyond Revenge: The Evolution of the Forgiveness Instinct, Michael McCullough describes how humanity's evolutionary history outfitted us with both an instinct for revenge and an instinct for forgiveness. Understanding these instincts and how they operate in human minds today, McCullough is convinced, is the key to creating a more forgiving world.
