Book Review - 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, Yuval Noah Harari*

With the first few chapters threatening with inevitable realities of anarchy, dystopia and digital apocalypse, I braced myself for a depressing read ahead. But as the pages progressed, the book lightened up and started instilling hope within me. One of the best books to read, if you are trying to make sense of all the idiocy in the world around and the idiosyncrasies of us humans.

Beginning at the macro levels of the universe and our planet, the book signs off by bringing us to the microcosm of our minds. The author stops just short of recommending meditation and self-awareness as the panacea for the current chaos all around. An intriguing read that any thinker will relish!
