The Future of Humanity: Terraforming Mars, Interstellar Travel, Immortality and Our Destiny Beyond Earth by Michio Kaku
5.0
This may be the most inspirational book I have read in my life. Similar to how astronauts experience the "overview effect" when they gaze down at the Earth from space, it helped open my eyes to the "big picture". Michio Kaku summarizes many crucial concepts required for humanity to move on to the next stage in order to survive various calamities, including the true doomsday that is the "end of the universe". It is easy for us to get wrapped up in small worries and petty desires. Reading this work helped sober my mind more than any self-help book did.
I read this book over a long period of time, tackling a small section at a time especially when I was lacking motivation. Each topic is introduced in a way that is easy for lay readers to understand. Not only was it educational, it also never failed to motivate me. This is an amazing book and although I am not an astrophysicist, it inspires me to want to contribute to the survival of our species.
