A review by reader_taylor
Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari

challenging informative medium-paced

This book taught me a lot. From how humans turned from gatherers and forgers into farmers into building whole civilizations. It felt like a history textbook, but the author was more witty than I was expecting, and there was a lot of light shed on the reasons of why people made the choices they did. It speaks about happiness and raises the question that we might have or have not been happier than the forgers and gathers before us. It was a thought-provoking read, and I'm happy to have read it.
