Great read but I am highly sceptical of Rutger Bregman, just from watching his attitude in motivational videos. He reminds me of people mostly interested in promoting themselves. I hope I am wrong.

Sorry for the paywall but the readable introduction reflects concerns similar to mine. he doesn't appear to be a bad person, but also not quite as altruistic as he tries to come across. More like "hey - let's try to profit with books and talks from positive stories"
