**ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY**

What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens?

One of the world's preeminent historians and thinkers, Yuval Noah Harari challenges everything we know about being human.

Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it: us.

In this bold and provocative book, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we're going.

'Interesting and provocative... It gives you a sense of how briefly we've been on this Earth' Barack Obama

'Jaw-dropping from the first word to the last... It may be the best book I've ever read' Chris Evans

'I would recommend Sapiens to anyone who's interested in the history and future of our species' Bill Gates

History meets philosophy

Good thought evoking listening. Many subjects covered but lack of facts makes you wonder how much is subjective.

Journey

It is a well written book. The author takes us on a journey through time and space revealing some of the highs an lows of the human experience. It's thought provoking, upsetting and humorous at the same time. It's great!

That said, the author has a tendency express highly debatable ideas as settled facts, example the 'big bag'.

But it's a must read for me.

slow and steady

intriguing book. once you finish it you will never look at the world again in the same way!

An end to end journey of our species!

A positive summary of the history of our species as we are on the cusp of a new, exciting future.

Transformational

This book is transformational! Gives new views on what it is to be a human and live in this world. Therefore it can also be quite challenging so personally I would like to attend group discussions about it :)

A must for all who love to learn.

Fascinating account of the sapien journey. The author puts a story filled with complication into something much more simpler to understand.

A big picture

A book to put things into perspective. We all benefit from that now and then.

Surprise yourself and enlighten yourself

Few words won't justify it. Its an experience.
One of the best books you can read.

The bible for great minds

This book is about you. Beautifully written and uniquely thought through. It changes what you know about your past and how you see your present and what you want in the future. Enriching and Mindblowing.
Extra-ordinary Narration. Good vocal modulation and intelligent voice. I am seriously considering replacing my mind's voice with that of the Narrator.

Informative and educational

This books spans many lifetimes and is far-reaching. The author has a range of perspectives and insights from many various fields so is very insightful. I enjoyed the read and felt much wiser for it.
