About this Event
"Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind " by Yuval Noah Harari
Sapiens takes readers on a journey through human history, from the Stone Age to the twenty-first century. Harari explores how Homo sapiens came to dominate the Earth, examining the cognitive, agricultural, and scientific revolutions that shaped our species.
The book challenges many commonly held beliefs about human progress and offers thought-provoking insights into our past, present, and future. It delves into complex topics such as the rise of empires, the role of religion, and the potential impact of artificial intelligence on humanity.
Naval Ravikant has called this "the best book of the last decade I have read," praising its comprehensive and engaging approach to human history.
"Reading is the ultimate meta-skill and can be traded for anything else."
- Naval Ravikant
Naval Ravikant, a prominent entrepreneur, investor, and thought leader in Silicon Valley, is renowned for his voracious reading habits and intellectual curiosity that span a wide range of disciplines from philosophy to physics. Feldman's Books sees Ravikant as "the Benjamin Franklin of Silicon Valley," drawing parallels between his multifaceted interests, innovative thinking, and commitment to self-improvement and Franklin's own polymathic pursuits and influence on early American intellectual life.
Join us for an enlightening journey through Naval Ravikant's recommended reads, exploring the wisdom that shaped his worldview. Each month, we'll dive deep into a different book, dissecting its ideas and discussing their real-world applications.
