Our species cooperates on a scale unprecedented in the natural world. But that is neither oddity nor fluke–we made it so! Since humans first walked the planet, we have been active agents in our evolution and in the construction of societies. Harnessing that agency for the greater good is imperative if humanity is to conquer twenty-first century challenges and build a better world. Richard L. Hayes’s The Nature and Nurturing of Collaboration treats the reader to an enthralling account of the roots of human collaboration and its vital futures.
I found this to be a ‘big’ book―the work of a lifetime, in a sense, and a thoughtful, engaged life, obviously―one committed to deep and compassionate witnessing by an author who has dedicated decades to hearing the call of distress on the part of countless clients undergoing daunting trauma and transition… I frankly regard it as a minor masterpiece, and certainly the magnum opus of Richard L. Hayes’ career as a clinical scholar. Its most commendable content contribution is providing a sweeping and yet well-integrated account of loss and its role in fostering change and meaning-making across the lifespan, and doing so in a way that does not require the reader to be a specialist in the numerous literatures on which he draws.
