About this listen

 In Coming People, Dole offers a thought-provoking exploration of lifes history, arguing for a clear trajectory toward the survival of kind and gentle individuals. His compelling perspective challenges the harsh dog-eat-dog mentality prevalent in society, suggesting a much-needed update to our traditional notion of survival of the fittest. Written before the tumultuous events of the first two world wars, some may question Doles optimism, yet his insights remain strikingly relevant today, supported by contemporary works like Evolution and Empathy and The Age of Empathy. Following World War I, Dole continued to advocate for progress in his subsequent work, A Religion for the New Day, where he maintains hope for societal improvement despite acknowledging its barbaric aspects. Throughout his writings, Dole critiques the flaws of his era—and our own—urging a peaceful and intelligent approach to address them. The Coming People delivers a timeless message that resonates with agnostics, believers, and atheists alike, fostering a strong social argument that endures in relevance.
