The Future of Humanity - by Augusto Cury

The first novel by psychiatrist Augusto Cury, The Future of Humanity offers a rare opportunity to rethink society and the direction of our lives. With more than 8 million books sold in Brazil, Cury presents us with tasty fiction that illustrates the teachings present in his books and is based on his vast professional experience.

The Future of Humanity tells the story of Marco Polo, a young medical student with a free spirit and adventurer like the Venetian navigator of the 13th century, from whom his father was inspired when choosing his name. Upon entering college full of dreams and expectations, Marco Polo finds himself faced with a harsh and cold reality: the lack of respect and sensitivity on the part of teachers towards patients with mental disorders, who are marginalized and treated as if they had no identity.

Outraged, the young man challenges internationally renowned professionals to prove that patients with psychiatric problems deserve more attention, respect and dedication - and less medication. Believing in the power of dialogue and psychology, he ends up causing a true revolution in the minds and hearts of the people he interacts with.

A story of hope and the fight against injustice, this book is the saga of a trailblazer of dreams, a poet of life, a man willing to take all risks in the name of what he loves and believes in.
