As the BBC's North America Editor, Jon Sopel has had a pretty busy time of it lately.

How do humans stop fighting? Where do the gods of myth come from? What does it mean to go mad? Mark R. Anspach tackles these and other conundrums as he draws on ethnography, literature, psychotherapy, and the theory of René Girard to explore some of the fundamental mechanisms of human interaction. Likening gift exchange to vengeance in reverse, the first part of the book outlines a fresh approach to reciprocity, while the second part traces the emergence of transcendence in collective myths and individual delusions.

What if humanity's first gods were not imaginary beings, but misunderstood systems? In The Myth of the Sun, philosopher and sociologist Eric Leo explores the origins of religion, mythology, and worship through a provocative new lens. Drawing on history, astronomy, philosophy, consciousness studies, and his own journey documented in 108: The Story of Discovering Earth's Consciousness and Cosmic Luve, Leo argues that ancient myths were humanity's earliest attempts to understand the forces that govern life.

La tesi di Murgia è che l'odio possa essere una virtù, dipende da come lo pratichiamo. Per esempio, con Odio gli indifferenti Antonio Gramsci ha mostrato che, se riconosciuto e disciplinato, questo sentimento non è per forza distruttivo. Passando dalle maledizioni sarde ai salmi biblici, da Grazia Deledda alle lettere di san Paolo, Murgia smonta i nostri pregiudizi e rivendica il diritto di odiare – specialmente i prevaricatori, i prepotenti, tutti coloro che non credono nella responsabilità collettiva del bene.
