I have just begun reading this book by Howard K. Bloom and I have to say that just the first few pages are giving me a totally new way to look at things. It's mostly a book about the evolution of human morals and politics and religion but it goes a lot deeper. It concretely explains how we came to be who we are, personality wise, within society all using aspects of evolution to rationally explain itself. I'd suggest this book to everybody I meet.
The Lucipher's Principle.
