Rutger Bregman - Humankind

His new book, Humankind,  displays his gift for synthesising libraries full of academic research into spellbinding reads.

Generally, the more you’re paid, the dumber your audience. 

The cleverest audiences are students and, of course, old people. 

If you speak in a care home, they’ve always read your book and they undress you with good questions. But a 25-minute keynote at some hip congress — nothing happens, man.
