This book's message is that the impulse to peaceful, cooperative coexistence is humanity's "true north". The impulse comes from our root-intelligence as one single species, and, at the same time, reflects the inherent unity of all life.

Zelfs nu ik de 50 ben gepasseerd, heb ik nog steeds een voorliefde voo...
