About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The audiobook edition of 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari, read by Derek Perkins.
**THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER**

In twenty-one bite-sized lessons, Yuval Noah Harari explores what it means to be human in an age of bewilderment.

How can we protect ourselves from nuclear war, ecological cataclysms and technological disruptions? What can we do about the epidemic of fake news or the threat of terrorism? What should we teach our children?

The world-renowned historian and intellectual Yuval Noah Harari takes us on a thrilling journey through today's most urgent issues. The golden thread running through his exhilarating new book is the challenge of maintaining our collective and individual focus in the face of constant and disorienting change.

Faced with a litany of existential and real crises, are we still capable of understanding the world we have created?

'Fascinating... compelling... [Harari] has teed up a crucial global conversation about how to take on the problems of the 21st century' Bill Gates, New York Times

'Truly mind-expanding... Ultra-topical' Guardian

'21 Lessons is, simply put, a crucial book' Adam Kay

At least should’ve been a bit less biased towards religions, especially Islam. Other than that, it’s been wonderful.

Good but biased

The 21st century is a confusing place. Good/evil, right/left, digital/analogue, there are so many stories to choose from. This book gives insight in the stories in the clearest most convincing manner I've read to date.

Read (listen) to it and make up your own mind.

Probably one of the most important books of the ti

Listened to Yuval’s 21 lessons at the beginning of 2020 and thought that it was a little bit draggy and self absorbed.
After 9 months of COVID and the natural catastrophe of 2020, I now highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to get through 2021.
Just read it, or listen to it. Highly recommended.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

This book gives you more insight into Harari's always interesting view of the world, it also gives you a window into the person behind the thoughts. A brave book that might anger many as it makes their favorite fictions harder to believe

Awesome as always

many moments of truth pop up in this book. probably one of the best book every written. If you have read the forst two, Homo sapiens and Homo Deus, you might find the start of this as remake of the first two. but it gets much more interesting afterwards
