"The Ten Types of Human: A New Understanding of Who We Are, and Who We Can Be" by Dexter Dias is a detailed exploration of human nature that examines both the best and worst behaviors people are capable of, investigating why these extremes occur. Dias, a human rights lawyer, draws on psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and anthropology, intertwined with real-world stories of human rights violations—such as child slavery, acid attacks, and other severe abuses—to illustrate his points.
Dias proposes a psychological framework where human actions are driven by ten overlapping "types" or facets within our psyches that become activated depending on the situation. These types are:
The Perceiver of Pain
The Ostraciser
The Tamer of Terror
The Beholder
The Aggressor
The Tribalist
The Nurturer
The Romancer
The Rescuer
The Kinsman
These types represent behavioral drives rather than strict categories, and individuals display combinations of these traits that influence decisions in extreme circumstances.
Compared to works like Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens, Dias's book similarly takes a broad anthropological and evolutionary perspective but is deeply grounded in human rights contexts and personal stories from the author's global travels. At over 800 pages, it is detailed and demanding but offers rewarding insights into empathy, responsibility, and the human condition.
In summary, The Ten Types of Human is an in-depth, thought-provoking study of who we are as humans and who we can become, blending scientific theory with human stories to illuminate the driving forces behind our actions and potential for both good and harm.
