The Lucifer Principle

A Scientific Expedition into the Forces of History

By: Howard Bloom

Narrated by: Malcolm Hillgartner

The Lucifer Priciple is a revolutionary work that explores the intricate relationships among genetics, human behavior, and culture to put forth the thesis that "evil" is a by-product of nature's strategies for creation and that it is woven into our most basic biological fabric. Though this argument is not a new one - it has been brought forth by such great historical figures as St. Paul, Thomas Hobbes, and Raymond Dart - Howard Bloom here takes fresh data from a variety of sources and shapes it into a lens through which listeners can reinterpret the human experience.

makes you think

It is a good book to make you think. I wish there was some type of tangible outcome and resolution to the issues outlined. Narrator was very good and clear. Easy to understand language. Very interesting information but wish this was accompanied by a citations PDF as there are a lot of information that I would like to verify myself.

Howard Bloom's books are amazing & insightful.

A+. Interesting, insightful & creative. Keeps me thinking & working to apply his theories to my daily life.

excellent marriage of content and performance

the book is about 12 hours long and is filled with tons of snippets from history and interactions between animals. one would think all the historical talk would be boring, but the narrator does an EXCELLENT job. He has amazing pace and the book honestly felt like it was much shorter. super easy to digest and effective in SHOWING you their point with examples from reality.

I am now a fan of Malcolm Hillgartner, haha!

This was a good read

Really interesting. I’m not entirely sure what it has to do with Lucifer, but I liked all the history. A bit graphic at times. Opened my eyes to the reasons behind why we do things.

Essential Reading but I don't agree with all

This is a highly important book that should be mandatory in schools. While I don't agree with everything the author writes, and I find some of his predictions about Japan questionable, the book offers valuable insights. It explains a lot about human behavior and societal dynamics, providing a framework that can help us prevent societal collapse.
