#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In Sapiens, he explored our past. In Homo Deus, he looked to our future. Now, one of the world’s most innovative thinkers explores what it means to be human in an age of bewilderment.

“Fascinating . . . a crucial global conversation about how to take on the problems of the twenty-first century.”—Bill Gates, The New York Times Book Review

A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

How can we protect ourselves from nuclear war or ecological catastrophe? What do we do about the epidemic of fake news or the threat of terrorism? How should we prepare our children for the future?

21 Lessons for the 21st Century is a probing and visionary investigation into today’s most urgent issues as we move into the future. As technology advances faster than our understanding of it, hacking becomes a tactic of war, and the world feels more polarized than ever, Harari addresses the challenge of navigating life in the face of constant and disorienting change and raises the important questions we need to ask ourselves in order to survive.

In twenty-one accessible chapters that are both provocative and profound, Harari untangles political, technological, social, and existential issues and offers advice on how to prepare for a very different future from the world we now live in: How can we retain freedom of choice when Big Data is watching us? What will the future workforce look like, and how should we ready ourselves for it? Why is liberal democracy in crisis?

Harari’s unique ability to make sense of where we have come from and where we are going has captured the imaginations of millions of readers. Here he invites us to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world full of noise and uncertainty. When we are deluged with irrelevant information, clarity is power. Presenting complex contemporary challenges clearly and accessibly, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is essential reading.

You. Should. Read. This. Book! No seriously, read it! If you are remotely interested in our future and its main challenges - read it. If you are a society shaper in any way (politician, teacher, start-up owner, biologist, you name it) - READ IT. This should be mandatory for every single person in a position of power. Majors, MPs, Presidents, but also the richest 1%. And for all those other 99% of us, we should be wanting to read this even more!!!!! I borrowed my copy from my dad but I will definitely ask him if I can keep it because I will want to read this again in the future!

Das Buch beschreibt von der Meta- bis zur Mikrobene die Herausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts. Die größte Erkenntnis ist für mich das Erzählen von Geschichten – die Geschichten, die uns eine Religion oder eine Nation erzählen. Beide sind, wie jede andere Geschichte auch, konstruiert, um uns nicht im bedeutungslosen Raum zurückzulassen. Um auf keine noch so gute Geschichte hereinzufallen, schlägt er Meditation vor und, die eigene Realität zu finden. Das Buch hat meinen Horizont erweitert.

Overall a disappointment. I really enjoyed Hararis other books, but this little thing just cramed 21 very serious topics into one book. It offers hardly any insights, calling it "lessons" just bends the bar. Terrorism, Religion, Equality, Immigration, Fake news etc,: each of this topics can't be thrown into the room without context and background for discussion. Also, I didn't appreciate the dominating Russia bashing. What I took from the book is that Harari likes to meditate and meditation is the key to see reality for what it is. Not what I expected and paid for. Not what Yival Harari usually delivers.

Got an appetite for more after Homo Deus, and it’s more of the same. Definitely totally great. If you want to know what you are, where you come from and where you go, this is a well written all explaining philosophical resource for you. Wished that everybody read these two books. Definitely highly recommended.
