We are looking for the right person to read and create a study guide for each of these books. The study guide would include video as well as text components. The Human Nature Forum is offering $500.00 for each study guide including: an introduction and overview of each book that addresses how the book relates to the topic of human nature as well as the principle insights that the book offers. I am looking for a person with a background in the study of philosophy, psychology, evolutionary biology, behavioral science, or a related field. Higher pay is possible based on education and experience.
