Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari
5.0
This is a brilliant non fiction book that explains our history from the apes we evolved from to this day and even to the future using really interesting examples. Harari´s writing is very accessible, even the complicated things are easy to understand. It´s also quite funny, which made the reading experience feel lighter and less preachy. This book manages to cover so many important themes that help to understand our species, and how big of an impact we have on this planet. As there is so many topics, there are bound to be some that you´re not personally interested in. I´m still extremely happy to have learnt about money and empires, although I don´t really care for them and would have rather read more about other human species or the environment. Overall I think this is a book that everyone should read in order to put things into the right perspective.
