The Other Book

A distinctly underwhelming book, encapsulated far more succinctly and memorably as "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

Kapucinski expounds at length over 79 pages; WITHOUT at any point SIMPLIFYING his thesis to conclude that essentially our species is hard-wired to breed, whatever the cost, and to promote its own individual successes and economic advantages: i.e. that of our own family, and maybe also that of our own tribe, over all other comers.

That's it. Nothing costly, except to pride, nothing complicated. Absolutely no real vital need whatsoever to misappropriate Mother Earth's natural resources to publish and distribute seventy-nine pages on the subject; this is a book that comprehensively fails to justify gracing physical space in my library.

Instead, simply spread by mouth eleven powerful words wider: "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Much wider, and even wider than that. Talk with your friends about what those eleven words mean: to you, to them, and how we, each and all, can actually DO something with our words. Beat misery, ACT.
