Description

“21 Lessons for the 21st Century” is a non-fiction book written by Yuval Noah Harari, a historian, philosopher, and professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The book was published in 2018 and is a follow-up to Harari’s previous works, “Sapiens” and “Homo Deus”.

The book is divided into 21 chapters, each addressing a different issue that Harari sees as crucial to understanding the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. These include topics such as nationalism, religion, immigration, artificial intelligence, and climate change.

Harari draws on a range of disciplines, from history and philosophy to biology and computer science, to offer a wide-ranging and insightful analysis of the issues facing humanity in the present and future. He encourages readers to think critically about the assumptions and beliefs that underpin our political and social systems, and to consider alternative approaches that may be better suited to the challenges of the modern world.

One of the key themes of the book is the idea that many of the problems facing humanity in the 21st century are global in nature and require collective action and cooperation to solve. Harari argues that traditional political structures and ideologies may not be adequate to address these challenges, and that new forms of global governance may be necessary.

Overall, “21 Lessons for the 21st Century” is a thought-provoking and engaging book that offers a wide-ranging and insightful analysis of the key issues facing humanity in the present and future. It has been widely praised for its clarity, depth, and originality, and has become a popular and influential work of contemporary non-fiction.

  1. Kajal Singh (Verified Purchase)

    21 Lessons for the 21st Century is the cherry on top of three great books (Sapiens, 2015 and Homo Deus, 2017) by Yuval Noah Harari. He has an incredible way of zooming out to 40,000 feet and making you feel as though you are studying humanity through an observation glass. A simple lesson I think anyone can take from this book is that everything about the way our society is structured was done by humans, which means humans can change it. Nothing is set in stone. Nothing is the way it is because of natural law.

  2. Dhaval Patel (Verified Purchase)

    This book unlike his fact based book “Sapiens” is speculative and philosophical. Author is obsessed with AI, Big Data and computer algorithms. I most liked his sub-chapter “Spaceship Earth.” He gives easy pass to all religions in his chapters on Religion, God and Tolerance.

  3. Samar Sisodia (Verified Purchase)

    Harari explores human life from his central concept: Humans are move by stories they believe. That illuminates almost everything… Except the key point of conscience. And without that, there is no explanation for why we choose to believe those stories and act them with our biographies.

    received 3 days after the estimated delivery. You guys promised delivery everyday and still couldn’t get it done.

  5. Karan Doshi (Verified Purchase)

    Harari’s book is laid out in 21 chapters each composing of a major thought provoking theme such as work, liberty, fake news, etc. The first chapter – Disillusionment is probably the single best section of the book. Harari highlights mankind’s tendency to think in terms of stories and how competing stories – liberalism vs communism drove the 20th century. While liberalism won the 20th century, it faces a crisis of confidence in the 21st. Thought provoking and an interesting take on why the world seems to be in such disorder.
