《人类的恶意》内容简介
损人不利己？偷偷期盼朋友会失败？为了报复某人不惜损害自己的利益？这其实是一种恶意，它可能是微不足道的，比如某人在停车位逗留，只是为了让你多等一会儿；也可能带来很大的危害，比如夫妻争夺孩子的监护权，只是为了刁难彼此，选民将票投给一位他们希望会引发混乱的候选人。
恶意的定义是阻碍他人实现愿望但不是为了让自己获得某些东西，而是为了让他人无法获得某些东西。你是否产生过这种念头？
本书从心理学、经济学、基因学讲述了人类为什么会产生恶意；并将恶意分为支配性恶意和反支配性恶意。恶意在自由、政治、宗教领域又是如何产生影响的？同时，作者也表明这种阴暗的情绪有正向的作用，就像从邪恶中寻找美德的源头，恶意可以推动人类前进。

A brief introduction to the Malice of Man
Do no good to others? Secretly expecting a friend to fail? To get back at someone at your own expense? It can be something trivial, like someone hanging around in a parking space just to make you wait a little longer; It can also be very damaging, like when couples fight over custody of their children just to spite each other, and voters vote for a candidate they hope will cause chaos.
Malice is defined as preventing others from achieving their wishes, not in order to obtain something for themselves, but in order to prevent others from obtaining something. Have you ever had the thought?
From psychology, economics, and genetics, the book explains why humans are malevolent; It divides malevolence into dominant malevolence and counter-dominant malevolence. How does malevolence affect freedom, politics, and religion? At the same time, the author also shows that such dark emotions can have a positive effect, just as looking for the source of virtue in evil, malice can push human beings forward.
