This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. In 1972, half of Americans believed that most people could be trusted; by 2018, only a third felt the same way. Across generations, genders, religions, and political parties, there’s a growing sense that human virtue is disappearing. Cynicism often feels like a reasonable response to a world full of injustice and inequality. But, in many cases, it’s misplaced. Studies consistently show that people fail to recognize just how kind, generous, and open-minded others truly are. However, cynicism deepens social problems. When we expect the worst in people, we often bring it out of them. In Hope for Cynics, Jamil Zaki offers a powerful antidote to this cycle of skepticism: a new approach called “hopeful skepticism.” He introduces a way to think critically about people and our problems, while also honoring and encouraging our collective strengths. This isn’t naïve optimism; rather, it’s a thoughtful, evidence-based way to understand others that can shift our perspectives on human nature. Through this approach, Zaki provides a roadmap to rebuild trust and make meaningful progress toward a more compassionate world—one where we recognize the good in others and work together to create the future we truly want.
