Shetty grew up in a family where you could become one of three things - a doctor, a lawyer, or a failure. His family was convinced he had chosen option three: Instead of attending his college graduation ceremony, he headed to India to become a monk, to meditate every day for four to eight hours, and devote his life to helping others. After three years, one of his teachers told him that he would have more impact on the world if he left the monk’s path to share his experience and wisdom with others.

Histoire
In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers" - the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.

Histoire
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Description
Destined to become a modern classic in the vein of Guns, Germs, and Steel, Sapiens is a lively, groundbreaking history of humankind told from a unique perspective.
One hundred thousand years ago, at least six species of human inhabited the earth. Today there is just one.
Us.
Homo Sapiens.
How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations, and human rights; to trust money, books, and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables, and consumerism? And what will our world be like in the millennia to come?
In Sapiens, Dr. Yuval Noah Harari spans the whole of human history, from the very first humans to walk the earth to the radical - and sometimes devastating - breakthroughs of the cognitive, agricultural, and scientific revolutions. Drawing on insights from biology, anthropology, paleontology, and economics, he explores how the currents of history have shaped our human societies, the animals and plants around us, and even our personalities. Have we become happier as history has unfolded? Can we ever free our behavior from the heritage of our ancestors? And what, if anything, can we do to influence the course of the centuries to come?
Bold, wide-ranging and provocative, Sapiens challenges everything we thought we knew about being human: our thoughts, our actions, our power...and our future.

I'll definitely listen to this again.
Really interesting book and well narrated. Even if you're familiar with the current story of our biological evolution, that story is retold in a really digestible way. There's much more in here than biology though. Philosophy, psychology and explanations of our behaviour and relationship to out environment from the beginning to modern day. I couldn't even fit an index of it all in a short review. I'll definitely listen to this again.

I've learned so much from this book!
I didn't use to like reading about history. As time has gone by, I've caught myself not only addicted to getting to know more about our history but also to audiobooks! Well, I liked the way of which this book was written especially for those like me not familiar with history. I've ended up wanting to read more and more! However, I'd like to make an observation that most parts of this book weren't narrated fully! I mean, many times the writing and its audio reproduction don't match! This doesn't compromise the understanding, but I believe this may be an issue for some people. Overall, getting to know a little more about our history was amazing!

Simply Wonderful, Inspired my Degree in Biology
Listen, relax, and approach with soft objectivism: The art of not forgoing your views, but not holding them out as a shield to the discussion at hand. You'll notice most reviews which are 3 stars or lower are from people that wish they could have argued a point they disagreed with. I do not believe any point to be hollow, or narrow. The author's tone leaves the ultimate conclusion up to you. This book changed my life in 2016 and this is my 3rd go around with it.

Raised with a Creationist POV - Eyes Opened
Wow did this ever challenge my point of view and helped me to see a larger picture of how humans became what we are today. I was particularly struck by the DNA evidence of different sapiens and the fact that every species has multiple forms, for example, canines and felines. It is so logical that there were many great apes that were sapiens. Something that was not specifically mentioned but was impactful for me personally was when the author described the positive and negative impact of the agricultural revolution. The correlation of the negative impacts of the agricultural revolution to the curse in Genesis that God put on Adam and Eve is eerily similar. This strongly supports that the Bible account in Genesis is an allegory and not a historical account. I knew this in my heart of hearts but this really sealed it for me.

As a species, How we become ourselves.
One of my favorites books. It has some polemic topics that will not be taken easily by anyone, but if anything, it will challenge see you things differently, which is always a good exercise. Sapiens explains the journey of the human race, pointing 3 revolutions. When we became "Smart", The Cognitive Revolution. The Agricultural Revolution, when we start massively cultivating crops. And the Scientific Revolution when we developed the scientific method to clear the path from our biased limitations and forward our species. Furthermore, Yuval presents a vision of belief. The power of shared fictions. From Money to Religion. How we go about, collectively, believing things and why this was so important for differentiating ourselves from other species.

A classical
This book present several insightful original ideas in a lively manner. It is very close to my trilogy of the greatest books ever written: Origin of species, Wealth of Nations, Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Not only is the past explored through the effects of revolutions (Cognitive, agricultural, industrial) on the lives of ordinary humans, but the present revolution is analized in detail, leading to the prediction that the individuals of the future will not be just us.
