Transform Your Life And Save The World: Through Living In Support Of The Biological Truth About The Human Condition Paperback – September 30, 2016
humancondition.com
The world is in crisis! What is the solution?
Ultimately, we have to find the redeeming, and thus transforming, understanding of our psychologically troubled human condition. And it is precisely that dreamed-of insight, and its now desperately needed transformation of our lives, that Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith presents in this book.
Titled Transform Your Life And Save The World - Through Living In Support Of The Biological Truth About The Human Condition, this book is a very short but powerful condensation of Griffith's definitive treatise of the human condition that is presented in his book FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition.
The genesis of Transform Your Life And Save The World lay in Griffith's address at the June 2016 launch of FREEDOM at the Royal Geographical Society in London. Commencing with very brief extracts from Tim Macartney-Snape's Introduction at the launch, and Sir Bob Geldof's keynote address, it goes on to summarize FREEDOM's content in 3 powerful chapters: 'The Dishonest Biology', 'The Truthful Biology', and 'The Resulting Transformation Of The Human Race'.
In fact, in just 68 pages of sensational world-shaking but at the same time spectacular world-saving TRUTH about human behavior, Griffith delivers a presentation that is so profoundly liberating, relieving and transforming of your life that this little book may be all you need to read!
As Professor Harry Prosen, a former President of the Canadian Psychiatric Association, has said, "I have no doubt this biological explanation of the human condition is the holy grail of insight we have sought for the psychological rehabilitation of the human race."

- Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2023This small book promises a rather large, rather rapid change or transformation in one's life, in a rather short period of time...And delivers!
Biologist Jeremy Griffith has devoted his life to the study of evolution and development of our human species. He has condensed his work into a short and simple explanation of how we humans have
struggled to make sense of ourselves and the world around us, without an "operators manual".
Advances in science, now helps us understand how humans learn and reason and make choices accordingly. Not all wise or correct. However, it is the ONLY way we could advance through the ages.
We do not need to carry guilt and shame for these lessons! With this understanding, we can let the healing begin. We can learn self love. As well as love for our neighbors around the world! Hence, 'And Save The World'
For a more detailed explanation, Jeremy Griffith has a book called 'Freedom The End Of The Human Condition', filled with his studies as well as many other great thinkers.
This book is a great start to begin to understand the true compassionate human species!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2019The media could not be loaded.
biologist Jeremy Griffith’s explanation of the human condition and its implications to us. The
bold title ‘Transform Your Life And Save The World’ plainly describes what having the
human condition finally explained actually allows humans now to do.
’Transform Your Life’ is a small book and serves as an introduction to Jeremy’s definitive
treatise on the human condition which is ‘FREEDOM: The End Of The Human Condition’.
This book does not go into the same level of detail as FREEDOM, but it contains the
explanation of the human condition & what it means for us to have it explained. It is a
wonderful presentation of the subject with a clear message to us which is that the
breakthrough biological understanding of the human condition allows a free and optimistic
future for us to go forwards to.
What you will find in these pages is the biological explanation of how we’re all good rather
than bad or evil or innately selfish and so opens up a massively exciting and free future
which is all explained fully and rationally. It isnt just one new added theory to the many other
already competing ones existing out there, but is THE completely original, accountable
presentation that gets to the root of our condition!
So I recommend this book to anyone that wants some real understanding of themselves and
the world around them, AND a free and optimistic future for humans. Read this book
because in my experience, it gives both these things.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2018Makes the assertion that humans are genetically inclined to kindness and nurturing to care for the young, cites bonobo research and their close genetic kinship. Further posits that conflict between instinct and evolution of consciousness is cause of all human suffering
- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2022Although I agree with (and appreciate) much of Jeremy Griffith’s insights regarding the genuinely cooperative nature of our instinctual motivations, I reject his explanation for the alienation of this aspect of human awareness as a necessary phase in the process of understanding "the human condition" through our "heroic", conscious pursuit of knowledge. My reasons for this rejection of Jeremy's explanation are numerous but basically, it isn't really new. Rather, it's a re-conception of the very same self-justifying, superior, dominating, egoic program that reason has used not only to justify its domination and manipulation of Nature but of the very instinctual, imaginative faculty of humans Jeremy claims to have rediscovered "consciously". What Jeremy is describing as the "hero" of the story has been clearly identified as the very left hemispheric dominant pathology, that instead of being criticised and condemned by the instinctual mind, has actually been the denier and alienating power - refer Iain McGilchrist, The Matter with Things, and Roderick Tweedy, The God of the Left Hemisphere for details. Anyway, I listened to Jeremy's story very carefully and am not convinced that the solution to our violent, domineering and sociopathic human tendencies is another rendition of the "hero's journey".
If he hasn't already, please invite Jeremy to read the above books, which I feel beautifully explain that the solution to the age-old, human condition is for our light of reason (egoic, logical, reductive, manipulating, dominant left hemisphere) to be consciously used to illuminate the path of our creative imagination (holistic, intuitive, expansive, interrelating, cooperative right hemisphere).
- Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2019I've read many books and studied a lot of different theories but this book explains us humans in a way never done before. The explanation is so complete and deep that it probably for the first time lays a solid foundation for the reader about love, who we are and what it means to be human. This first principle based explanation is most likely beyond everything you`ve ever learned or read.
Initially the somewhat confronting nature of the subject can make the key concepts hard to grasp. It's a sound and natural reaction thou because you very soon realize you've stepped into a "unfamiliar" or "forgotten" landscape. Griffith suggests this "deaf effect" comes from our fear of the subject and that this means you will need some patience to fully understand the information. I can personally definitely attest to how I've had to "digest" the information and how observations in daily life slowly makes the information more and more understandable and legit.
This is a truly powerful life transforming experience that has changed my life and that can change yours too! Sincerely

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise introduction to understanding humanity
This booklet serves as an introduction to the 'magnum opus' Freedom, the end of the human condition. It gives an overview of Jeremy's outstanding work in offering a solution to the increasingly dark state of human life: the instinct Vs intellect explanation a paradoxically simple but extremely confronting, thus difficult to access solution to human suffering.
I was instantly convinced that what Jeremy offered was the full truth about us humans but conversely, doubts crept in as I thought more about what I had read. Hungry for more insights, I immediately went on to read 'Freedom', which helped me to peel off some of the layers of denial, allowing the truth to flood my mind, wiping away much of my fear, sadness, insecurity and anxiety, replacing it with hope, happiness, security and excitement. I think as humanity continues to hurtle towards extinction through terminal alienation, more people will be prepared to allow themselves to let the light of understanding that this little book let's into our dark lives, untill a tipping point is reached and we can all reverse the disintegration of civilisation. Hopefully we don't have to endure another world war before that time arrives.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very Transforming read as the title suggests
Transform Your Life is a tremendous beginners or introductory guide into understanding the Human Condition as explained and essentially solved by Australian Biologist Jeremy Griffith. It is concisely devised into 3 parts which can easily be read within a day of picking it up. It is essentially a prelude to Freedom which I have read and provides a more in depth exploration into the Human Condition and is an absolute masterpiece in itself.
What exactly is the Human Condition? The author goes onto explain this as early as page 11 but basically its humanities capacity for good and evil and why we have been at odds with the ideals that we try to live by namely being co-operative, loving and selfless.
Part 1 consists of the Dishonest Biology that was created in order to mask our psychologically troubled human condition afflicted state by asserting that our instinctive genetic makeup is comprised of divisive and selfish genes and ‘that’s why we are’ and that our intellect/conscious reasoning mind is the great mediator or pacifier over our supposed selfish instincts. The author goes ahead and dissects this theorem by stating that although it has been necessary to use denial because looking at the Human Condition too deeply can cause one to become too depressed about their own and humanities state of being our instinctive make up is actually not to be divisively or selfishly behaved but to be loving and cooperatively behaved instead. He goes on and gives living examples and evidence of this cooperative past of humanities early on, on page 13 and uses Bonobos as a living example of a species living in a cooperative state. In addition, the author reveals through his sound logical reasoning and evidence that it is was really the emergence of our conscious mind that caused us to behave in a selfish and divisive way since our instincts are actually oriented to behaving cooperatively. Expressions such as egocentric, deluded, selfish, aggressive and divisive all imply a conscious psychological dimension to our troubled Human Condition something that is only unique to us fully conscious human beings and to no other animal species on the planet!
Part 1 is such an eye opener it’s sure to leave you in shock and amazement. To think that what you’ve been taught and had come to believe actually came from a base of denial and dishonest thinking aimed at avoiding and explaining the Human Condition in total…..Just incredible!
Part 2 goes into the Truthful Biology. It becomes clear to the reader that what was really needed for the Human Condition to be addressed and solved was to quote page 33 “a completely fresh approach to biological thinking that truthfully recognises the association between the emergence of consciousness in humans and the corruption of our original cooperative, all loving instinctive state”.
The author in this part sheds light onto the real cause of the Human Condition namely how the emerging intellect or consciousness clashed with our already established instincts for control which was basically trying to manage life from a basis of understanding. As a result our current psychologically upset Human Condition state emerged. He states that with the emergence of our intellect it wasn’t enough for it be managed or controlled by our instincts as our instincts are genetic adaptions or orientations made over many, many generations which among other things are predominately to behaving cooperatively and lovingly. So each time our intellect tried to gain understanding, basically learning, it received criticism from our instincts for not behaving in a cooperative way which the author goes into explaining in pages 35-39. But just briefly here, our instincts tried to stop or were unappreciative of our intellects need to understand and fulfil its role to manage life from a basis of understanding. However, the only way our intellect could continue on its search for knowledge and understanding was to defy our instinctive orientations instincts, try to prove it wrong and as a consequence we became Angry, Egocentric and Alienated sufferers of the Human Condition.
And there is the crux of the explanation of the Human Condition, its so incredibly simple its amasing.
Part 3 which I have to add is probably my most favourite part in the book explains the incredible Transformation that now awaits the entire human race. The author explains the Transformational process whereby you literally drop your ‘sword’ in other words all the fame, fortune and glory you that you have been strategizing for all your life and been pre-occupied with because literally the Human Condition has been solved and is now over. What’s more the author points out that this Transformed State is not another pseudo do good to feel good movement as you are not deluding yourself that you do not suffer from the psychological upset of the Human Condition, but rather the Transformed State is a way that acknowledges the origins of our psychological upset and through understanding you are able to drop all that baggage and help repair the world which is something he refers to as being a Lifeforce!
What I love with this part is how the author reinforces how we humans have been defended and ameliorated with this explanation of the Human Condition. With our psychological upset, our Anger, Egocentricity and Alienation now understood it is not looked upon as an evil or unworthy state unappreciative of love or compassion but as a heroic state of tremendous courage and determination. The author goes onto to state that for humans to have had to defy our instincts for as long as we have and endure the implications that we are somehow an evil or bad species must make us indeed the most marvellous creation ever to have graced this earth. Talk about a paradigm shift in thinking, talk about the Transformation that now awaits the human race.
Transform Your Life is a wonderful little book that will set you on your way toward Liberation and Freedom of the Human Condition! And so on forward it is!
