Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of carrying only opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends - why the world's population is increasing; how many young women go to school; how many of us live in poverty - we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.

Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

Histoire
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

If you follow the headlines, the world in the 21st century appears to be sinking into chaos, hatred and irrationality. Yet, as Steven Pinker shows, if you follow the trendlines, you discover that our lives have become longer, healthier, safer and more prosperous - not just in the West but worldwide. Such progress is no accident: it's the gift of a coherent value system that many of us embrace without even realising it. These are the values of the Enlightenment: of reason, science, humanism and progress.

Description
Brought to you by Penguin.
The audiobook edition of 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari, read by Derek Perkins.
The No.1 best seller.
In 21 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?
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.
Are we still capable of understanding the world we have created?

To me, Sapiens was easily the best book I ever came across, and it marked the beginning of my journey through a lot of scientific books. I couldn't finish Homo Deus, I found it to be too speculative. Now, the 21 Lessons are easily the best book I listened to in years. There's a lot to learn, not just about the 21st century. Check it out!

I started this book right after finishing Homo Deus and Sapiens, so a lot of the information in this book was repetitive. But still, jaw dropping information! The whole book is truly eye-opening. Also loved the narrators voice.

I’ve not read Homo Deus but found this a perfect follow up to Sapiens. This is what we need to be studying and teaching. So much energy wasted on so much nonsense and these books enlighten although also frighten a bit. Now to work out where to from here for my generation but more importantly my children and then..... can I even contemplate their children?? Will I even have grandchildren?

Few real lessons, too many clichés
I had high expectations based on the Sapiens and Homo Deus books. Here I struggled to find the lessons. There are some interesting parts, but quite a lot of clichés and far fetched claims. For example, the author cannot resist to interpret the movie Ex Machina, where the leading male character is seduced and tricked by artificial intelligence ina perfect human body, as a fear of men not of AI, but females being more intelligent than men. Is that really necessary? Disappointing...

The author's ability to tell a story is exceptional. The way he brings certain ideas together and takes courageous jabs at the ideas and beliefs that make up the social fabric is impressive. I haven't read his previous work but he refers to similar themes and the titles of those books frequently throughout. I look forward to learning more from this brilliant thinker.

Great Essays from Harari
Enjoyable to listen to these 21 essays from Harari. Having found Sapiens extremely inspiring and novel in its synthesis and thought about human beings, and also enjoyed Homo Deus, I find these essays to be just as enjoyable. He addresses a number of more contemporary topics, like terrorism, which is an essay that to me is an instant reread, and would feature in my compendium on classical texts on terrorism.

Regression to the mean
Unfortunately, the book cannot live up to the authors reputation. The beginning is good, but nothing he didn’t already say in the excellent „Homo Deus“. The middle is dragging along with shallow and randomly seeming thoughts. The end is just boring. Oh, and he totally missed the point about „Ex Machina“. The AI was so female precisely because the protagonist was male and this was „her“ ticket to best fulfill her designed utility function (tricking a human to let her out). And because „she“ was created by a sexist and lonely technocrat, of course.

Not bad, but at odds with itself at times...
As already stated in the title to this review, this is not a bad book and not a bad audio book either. My only gripe with this book is that the author tends to overextend into fields of science in which she clearly only has very basic knowledge. This coupled with some incongruities between the ealry and later chapters did kind of annoy me at times. But all in all I must say that this book does at least touch on some interesting topics in some interesting ways, and is definitley worth the listen if you want something to jog your mind a bit, be it in confusion, anger, or genuine interesst in the topics and/or her way of touching on them...

The chatterbox award goes to...
I enjoyed reading parts of Homo Deus and Sapiens. Here we see the man in show off mode, a lack of precision, plenty of „talking for the sake of talking“. Harari should consult Snyder‘s „On Tyranny“ for a to the point, concise structure. If you want futurama have a look at James Bridle‘s „a new dark age - technology and the end of the future“.

The perfume
It is easy to like the books of Yuval Harari as he distills as a Mister Grenouille of Patrick Susskinds "Das Parfum" the essences of many sociological theories into a perfume that slowly evaporates into a stream of compelling stories. It is still possible to get a hint of the originals, but it is exactly the composition and the right dosing that makes it unique. Of course the comparison does only go so far and I do not imply the looks of the author nor the crimes that Yuval Harari had to commit in order to produce this masterpiece.
