Book Review: 21 Lessons for the 21st Century

 Life is going to leave us behind if we keep thinking the way we do, acting the way we have and living like we did even a decade ago... 

Don't like it? Well neither did I until I started reading: 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari. At 30 Years old, and as Yuval explains, we start to become more stuck in our ways. We begin to form permanent ways of thinking and ideas about the world. I have always said, as I get older, its seems more difficult to grasp some of the adventures I tackled in the past. I can feel that happening in my life. 

If this is in anyway you, give this a read, we need to start exploring how to live as the future presents itself at our front door. 

An incredible book by Yuval Noah Harari, best book I have read in a about two years.

Yuval presents some of the oldest arguments to humankind. What will ware be about and how can be position ourselves to see objectively. Terrorism may take the form of technology in a way we have never seen! How do we recognize fake news? 

We have the opportunity to slow down and think about what the future holds. The jobs that existed 10 years ago do not exist today and the jobs that are going to exist in 10 years time haven't even been thought of. This book presents some crucial strategies to thinking about how we can position ourselves to succeed when these daunting challenges come. 

Instead of being frozen by fear, stuck in thinking and acting the ways we always have, we can take steps to recognize how we need to adapt. 

"You think you already know who you are. But once you realize "Hi, these thoughts aren't me. They are just some biochemical vibrations! Then you realize you have no idea - who - or - what - you are. This can be the start of the most exciting journey of discovery any human can undertake." Yuval Noah Harari
