Have you ever wondered about the true meaning of life? Do you force yourself to do things you don’t feel like doing? If so, then this is the perfect book for you. Rediscovering the Wisdom of Human Nature is a thought-provoking non-fictional work written by Chet Shupe that discusses the true self of human nature before the civilized paradigm replaced the natural order of life.

This book tells the truth about what humans need to be happy, and how our civilized way of life with proper education has created a complex framework of rules, laws, and contracts, which is the ultimate reason for human suffering. The author believes that sisterly and brotherly love, spiritual freedom, spiritual trust, and interdependence on each other are the only path that will return us to our real spiritual homes.

I loved the author’s articulate writing style and colloquial tone. He supports his statements with prominent examples and various human situations. I enjoyed his use of metaphors. For instance, he confronts human’s obsession in limitless growth (for information, technology, control, and accomplishments) with Cancer, an entity that can't stop growing. The author used citations from other influential books of renowned writers and referenced interviews of celebrities to elaborate his aspects more clearly, which shows his hard work and dedication. The book contains many heart-warming messages and quotes. One of my favorite quotes from the book is “Take care of one another, now. Let the future take care of itself.”

I appreciate how all the chapters were relevant and concise. I particularly liked the part that describes how profoundly soldiers are affected by the intimacy of wartime experiences. Another resonating chapter was about sisterhood and the power of feminine emotional intelligence. Shupe wonderfully elucidates the connection between the feelings, subconscious and conscious mind, emotional intelligence, and the innate wisdom of our souls which guides human nature and his behavior. He feels there is an enormous tension between our two selves—one who lives in the moment, the other who only lives for the future. The author convinces the human race that recognizing, and accepting our true nature as human beings will help us to break out of this civilized paradigm.

He briefly and comprehensively summarized the book with a coda on the Coronavirus, a glossary, and a table comparing realities. In my opinion, this whole review is not enough to explain what a tremendous job Shupe did writing the book. I did not find it boring at all. I felt immense calmness and contentment reading it.

There’s absolutely nothing I disliked about the book. It is proficiently well-edited as I did not find any errors. Therefore, I proudly rate Rediscovering the Wisdom of Human Nature four out of four stars. Lastly, I would recommend this book to everyone as it is devoid of any profanity. However, this book will be best suited to the ones interested in spirituality and curious to know more about natural human behavior.

There were some really good arguments raised in the book. But it had some which were flimsy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
