Description

We are a flawed and mysterious species. On one hand, we're extraordinary. No one is like us. No one has been given the gifts we brought into the world. We are exceptionally unique and special, capable of amazing things. And also… we fall down, procrastinate, give up, cut corners, and let ourselves and other down. This is the paradoxical experience of being human. We are extraordinary and, at the same time, infinitely exasperating. But why? Mike McHargue explains.
