The Connected Species by Mark A Williams

Argues that by understanding human connection, we can work together towards a less divided, more sustainable, future.

Williams has presented an exceptional and comprehensive case outlining the necessity and limitations for learning in social settingsIt's what makes us human; the capacity to do things for and with others. A powerful take away - communities need to be small enough for members to form positive relationships. Powerful message - well worth the read!

-- Barbara J. Smith, PhD

I couldn't put this book down at my first read and will be re-reading it many times. I highly recommend it as a compelling and riveting read, as well as wise and reassuring guidance for anyone who cares about the future of our species.

-- Dr. Amanda Ferguson, psychologist, author of Life Works: Redsicover Yourself and Tranform Your Relationships and podcast presenter of Psych for Life
