Over the last forty years I’ve read more self‑help books than I can easily count, but Warriors, Settlers and Nomads by Terence Watts immediately stood out.

The opening alone stopped me in my tracks: a bold exploration of our genetic origins, referencing archaeologists who claim to have pinpointed the very cave in Africa where our ancestors lived 100–150,000 years ago.

Even more striking is the assertion that every one of us is descended from this small group of early humans who, remarkably, shared the same DNA profile we carry today. Quite a claim — and an irresistible one.

From there, the book continues to fascinate. Each chapter draws you further in, blending psychology, evolutionary ideas, and practical insight in a way that keeps your attention firmly hooked.

It’s one of those rare self‑help books that feels both fresh and deeply rooted in something bigger than the usual motivational fare.

I am certainly going to continue referencing the chapters and use some of the techniques offered to enhance my life, I might even do a further reference later to update anyone who is interested.

Such an interesting book, that combines scientific and psychological ideas to make a plausible theory.

Will definitely use the techniques from this book to help myself progress through into the future.

Interesting read, was surprised to find out I am a 'warrior', but as I read it made more and more sense!
