  1. Baby Aarti Punetha

    Excellent book. Explores a very important topic. I learned a lot about the evolutionary of trust.

  2. Prince Sahu

    Fascinating book! Ridley makes a compelling case for the evolutionary roots of virtue. Highly recommend for anyone interested in human behavior.

  3. Ipsita Singh

    Ridley’s explores the evolution of society and its effect in virtue. Explanations are very insightful.

  4. Muskan

    A thought-provoking read! Ridley challenges assumptions about human nature. Some parts felt dense, but overall a worthwhile exploration of cooperation.

  5. Harsh Hemnani

    Ridley’s book gave an eye opening explanation of human’s self-interest and virtue. Highly recommend.

  6. Anant Jain

    Interesting concept, but too much jargon for the average reader. If you like philosophy you will enjoy it.

  7. Shiwam Singh Singroul

    Eye-opening! It changed my perspective on how societies function. It could be made a bit easier to read, but still important.

  8. Ajay Deepak Nakil

    It was a hard book to understand. Ridley’s writing is too complex. I had to read some passages multiple times.

  9. Dhruv Chandra

    A good overview, but I wish Ridley had delved deeper into some of the counterarguments. Still, a solid introduction to the topic.

  10. Swagatika Panda

    A bit difficult to read if not familiar with the terminology. However the overall message is important.

  11. Ishita Shrivastava

    I thought it was a good read. I would recommend it to others interested in philosophy.

  12. Anurag Srivastava

    Interesting ideas, but the writing style was a bit dry for my taste. I appreciated the interdisciplinary approach, though. Not a light read!

  13. Siddharth Shankar

    Some of the concepts were difficult to grasp, but the overall message was clear. Ridley offers a fresh perspective on morality.

  14. Shyam Sundar Mishra

    Amazing book! I couldn’t put it down. Very insightful and well-written exploration of the roots of cooperation.

  15. Aanchal Mann

    A bit repetitive at times. Despite that, it offers a nuanced exploration of virtue. I would recommend with reservations.

  16. Rudhra Maurya

    I enjoyed the book. It presents very interesting idea about the origins of virtue. But it could have been more concise.

  17. Anish Ghosh

    Very well written book with a lot of content about human behavior. I enjoyed every second reading it.

  18. Gopal Agarwalla

    Very good book. However, the book could be shorter. It was a bit long for what it tries to convey.
