内容介绍
"More Human by Steve Hilton is a very timely book and a powerful call for change in how we measure success and how we value what is most important in our lives. We need a more human way of living and, in this compelling book, Steve Hilton shows us how we can achieve it."  - Arianna Huffington
 
政府、商业、我们的人生、我们吃的食物、我们抚养孩子的方式、我们跟大自然的互动——这些都变得太大、太遥远、太工业化、不够人性。作者Steve Hilton曾经是英国首相David Cameron的资深顾问,他认为是时候改变这一切了。是时候让世界更人性了。
 
Steve Hilton相信在这最近的一百年,我们创造了一个越来越没人性的世界。人们的挫败来自于政府、政治、经济以及日常生活上的结构问题。这整个系统是破的,因为离人性太远了。他认为我们可以改变这个世界,让它更当地、更有责任感。他相信一个更人性的世界会让人们更有效率、更满足以及更快乐。作者在书中提供来自世界各地的最新研究发现、真实故事以及临床实验来证明我们可以如何改变世界。

更多好评:
"‘Hilton is the leading modern day exponent of a humanist tradition dating back 2,500 years. His book is a powerful manifesto of sanity in a world in which the human dimension is under ever greater attack from forces that appear to swamp it’."  - Anthony Seldon
 
"Hilton convinces us that to solve problems we need to work bottom up from the human scale, rather than top down from abstract ideas. One of the most important things people are looking for in their lives is kindness, something that is simply not captured by any of the systems governments use today. He urges us to fight the commodification of policy-making and make things work on a specific, human level." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb
 
"The greatest asset that any organisation has – whether in government, business or philanthropy – is people. Yet too often, decision makers treat people more as an abstraction than an asset, leaving those they serve and employ feeling disconnected and disillusioned, and leaving major social and economic problems to fester. More Human picks apart this problem and challenges leaders in every field to look for innovative new solutions by looking people in the eye. You don’t have to agree with every prescription Hilton offers to recognise the value of his approach."  - Michael Bloomberg (前纽约市长)
