21 Lessons for the 21st Century
by Yuval Noah Harari
I found this a fascinating book in the 21 essays. Of particular interest was Chapter 12 on Humility which is really on nationalism, and the silliness of claiming American Exceptionalism or any other sort of exceptionalism, something all nations have done and still do. The last chapter on Meditation is an interesting one especially when you add the ones on Religion, God and Meaning. It brings home that idea that no matter the distrust of conventional ideas about Religion, God and Meaning, that each person seems to find something beyond the material which they elevate and find meaning and edification through.
I think Harari is a fine mind, and good writer. this book was an easy read and one I'd recommend, as it is timely and insightful. Thanks.
