"Relevant and brilliant!

I too have felt, quite often I should say, and more since I became a mother, that everything that is happening in the world is overwhelming and in order to make better decisions for my life and my family’s I need to understand more of who I am and what is happening in the world. We have come to a time when so many things are happening as we speak that it is impossible to make sense of everything, even to choose which things I should pay more attention to and their priorities in our lives. Much of this feeling has increased with the -again overwhelming- amount of information that we have access to.
I am very thankful to Yuval Harari for embarking on this project. Although he is the writer, it was actually a project of people sharing this feeling.
One of the reasons why I love books so much is because they are like mirrors: through them and the words of so many, I learn more about myself and the world. And this task, that will end the moment I exhale my last breath, is very important to me as it is the one that helps me understand what I feel and want and so I can make the decisions in my life, from the smallest ones to the bigger ones, the ones that make me change directions and experience whole new different things.
You do not have to agree on all Harari’s views but they are all definitely relevant. He can really dissect ideas and present them so naturally, it is a gift. The ideas poured in this book are insightful, rational, concerned, and eye-opening.
I’m also glad that I learned about things that had been out of my scope, which are important to take a look at.
I highly recommend this to everyone."
