The Anatomy of Cruelty
The Darkest Things People Do and Why They Do ThemBy Dan Desmarques
Length2h 25m
About this audiobook
Cruelty does not exist as a distant or abstract force, somehow detached from the daily lives of human beings. On the contrary, cruelty resides quietly within each individual, hidden beneath the polished masks people wear and cleverly concealed behind noble emotions, pleasant words, and seemingly good intentions.
In his groundbreaking book, The Anatomy of Cruelty: The Darkest Things Humans Do and Why They Do, the author boldly ventures into these shadowy realms and systematically uncovers the psychological roots that underlie human behavior. With remarkable honesty and thoroughness, he reveals the subtle presence of cruelty in betrayal, manipulation, abandonment, lies, and numerous invisible crimes politely disguised by charming smiles and socially acceptable behavior.
