What do we really need to know in today's world? In twenty-one bite-sized lessons, Yuval Noah Harari explores what it means to be human in an age of bewilderment
Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University
of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem,
specialising in world history. His two books, Sapiens- A Brief
History of Humankind and Homo Deus- A Brief History of Tomorrow,
have become global bestsellers, with more than 12 million copies
sold, and translations in more than forty-five languages.
Truly mind-expanding… Ultra-topical… Harari’s big selling point
[is] the ambition and breadth of his work, smashing together
unexpected ideas into dazzling observations.
*Guardian*
There is surely no one alive who is better at explaining our world
than Yuval Noah Harari - he is the lecturer we all wish we’d had at
university. Reading this book, I must have interrupted my partner a
hundred times to pass on fascinating things I’d just read. Harari
has done it again - 21 Lessons is, simply put, a crucial book.
*Adam Kay*
Erudite, illuminating, vivid. [Harari’s] lessons suggest new ways
of thinking about current problems… a splendid, sobering, stirring
call to arms.
*Sunday Times*
Fascinating… compelling… [Harari] has teed up a crucial global
conversation about how to take on the problems of the 21st
century.
*New York Times*
The great thinker of our age.
*The Times*
Harari… is a rare voice of calm reassurance, slicing through the
chaos and uncertainty of the modern age.
*Sunday Express*
Harari thrills his readers because he addresses the biggest
possible topics with confidence and brio. Compared with the
subjects he tackles, anything else we might read looks piffling and
parochial.
*Evening Standard*
Harari’s genius at weaving together insights from different
disciplines, ranging from ancient history to neuroscience to
philosophy to artificial intelligence, has enabled him to respond
to the clamour to understand where we have come from and where we
might be heading… 21 Lessons is lit up by flashes of intellectual
adventure and literary verve.
*Financial Times*
Modern life can seem overwhelming. Fortunately, Yuval Noah Harari's
new book, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, is on hand to guide us
through it. Poolside reading with purpose.
*Elle*
[Harari’s] purpose is to reveal the hard-learned lessons we have
all already encountered this century… the persuasiveness of
Harari’s philosophical analysis, and the engaging quality of his
writing, is hard to deny.
