But it did and what she found reshapes everything you think you know about cooperation, trust, and human connection.The Thermodynamics of Kindness argues that cooperation isn't a moral nicety layered on top of a cold, competitive universe. It's one of the primary mechanisms by which living systems from a single cell to an entire civilization resist the universal pull toward disorder.
