Drawing on more than four decades of study, reading, travel, business leadership, and teaching, the author’s research and experience spans history, religion, philosophy, science, psychology, education, economics, business, and government. The result is a remarkably integrated framework that explains not only how individuals succeed but also how families, schools, businesses, governments, and entire civilizations flourish. Individuals can do everything right, but if these other levels of human organization fail them, they can still have difficult lives.
Rather than beginning with politics or ideology, the authors search for understanding and answers begins with reality. Thus, the opening chapters examine the evolution of the universe, life, and culture and how they have shaped our existence and nature. The author suggests that humans possess two operating systems. The first is instinctual, inherited through biological evolution over millions of years. It predisposes us toward emotional reactions, pleasure, immediate gratification, and groupthink. This system served our hunter-gatherer ancestors well but often is counterproductive today. The second is our acquired operating system—the perspectives and practices we learn from our parents, teachers, schools, and society. Recognizing this mismatch between our ancient instincts and the requisites of modern life is essential to understanding individual behavior and the resolution of the challenges facing modern democracies.
One of the most thought-provoking discussions concerns the dramatic changes in the way we transmit culture today. Previous generations acquired much of their understanding of life from parents, grandparents, teachers, neighbors, local communities, and respected leaders. Modern technology has transformed this process. Television, social media, and digital communication now occupy many of the hours once devoted to family conversation, independent reading, outdoor activity, work, and community life. Technology is not inherently harmful, rather, the concern lies in the incentives these platforms create, the role models they present, and the behaviors they normalize. Every generation must decide intentionally what kinds of cultural influences deserve imitation.
Flourishing therefore depends upon frequently overriding our instinctual inclinations and employing executive function. Civilization advances when our culture helps us moderate instinct, develop executive function, pursue long-term goals, live cooperatively, and contribute to the common good. Thus, the central challenge to every society is identifying, agreeing on, and transmitting to each generation a competitive cultural package that furthers fitness, well-being, and adaptation.
The book's distinctive contribution lies in its unusual understanding of our context and nature, and its holistic approaches to life. Rather than offering isolated recommendations, the book demonstrates that human flourishing emerges when accurate perspectives and a potent collection of practices reinforce one another across every level of society—from individuals, families, and groups to education, business, government, and national culture. For readers willing to think deeply, examine assumptions, and pursue lives of purpose, American Culture 2.0 offers not merely a diagnosis of contemporary challenges but a comprehensive roadmap toward a freer, juster, and more prosperous future.

À propos de l’auteur
Working his way up to president, Mark owned and operated Plainville Farms between 1991 and 2007. Under his leadership, the company pioneered an all-natural-ingredient turkey line, animal-friendly practices, and turkeys grown on a vegetarian diet and without antibiotics. The business was the first turkey company to receive the American Humane Association's "Free Farmed" Certification and became the largest provider of turkeys and turkey products to Wegmans Food Market, Whole Foods, and numerous other food retailers. Under his leadership, Plainville Farms won the Onondaga County Conservation Farm of the Year Award, the New York State Agricultural Society Business of the Year, and the American Culinary Institute Best Taste Award for Turkey.
Mark has coached youth sports, was instrumental in building the Northwest YMCA in Baldwinsville, New York, and has served as the chair, director, or trustee of numerous business, education, conservation and community organizations. Mark and his wife of 45 years, Leokadia, have two sons, two daughters-in-law, and six grandchildren.

Droit de rétractation
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
