forest_key shared a tip "My favorite read of 2017, so glad I picked up. Guns Germs and Steel but bigger macro version approach and more though provoking. Maybe on my top 10 lifetime"

john_fenlon shared a tip "I can't decide whether to classify this as history or philosophy, either way it's one of the most engaging books I've read. Such refreshingly new perspectives on just about everything. I particularly admire his strong convictions on including the well being of other species as an important factor when measuring our accomplishments and failures."

brett_hughes shared a tip "Long read but good to get you thinking! It is. It about agreeing with everything that is written, I love that it provides a new point of view on a lot of relevant topics. Yuval is impressive."

illie shared a tip "decently interesting read, however it's definitely not the purely scientific impartial account that it claims to be - engaging enough but shouldnt be taken as historical gospel by any stretch of the imagination"

shane_petersen shared a tip "A fascinating look an the intellectual evolution of human beings and how we have adapted (and continue to adapt) our communities to our surroundings."

rabeal_malik shared a tip "hey amber, i’m sorry for the late response. yuval noah harare is an amazing author and historian with years of knowledge behind him. his books are easy to dive into without the tedious scientific nonsense, i suggest you read all his stuff in order, i’m sure you’ll feel a thousand times more enlightened about the world we live in, happy reading! @amber_at"

yuliya_sokolovska shared a tip "Love this book. Just started to reread it again, so many interesting facts that really make you think specially in new ‘normal’ life."

zaki_haider shared a tip "I read **** Deus immediately afterwards. But in hindsight I think I'd have preferred reading Thinking fast and slow by Daniel Kahneman"

heheiej shared a tip "Amazingly written. Zero bias. Great book for those who love to learn about where we’ve come from and all in between. Very proud of the fact that humanity has a book like this."

santhosh_kumar_1258 shared a tip "I had two parts that stood out to me - One was the part regarding the cognitive revolution and the other was the agricultural revolution . Great book indeed!"

thomas_murray_3204 shared a tip "I am not understanding why this is showing that I “liked” this book as I have not read it. I have also seen likes on comments that I did not make but were attributed to me."

kimberly_tyler shared a tip "Hands down my most favorite nonfiction books. Really opened my eyes to completely new perspectives on what it means to be human and how we were in the past, how we came to be in the present, and how we will be in the future."

francescaelaina shared a tip "I normally do not pick up fiction books, but my book club wanted to give this book a chance. It definitely made me think about human in a different way and I would recommend however…it is definitely not brief"

antonio_ruiz_1412 shared a tip "Yeah, probably we’re he deconstructs the economic origins of modern racism. It just highlighted how many things like religion, capitalism, and pseudoscience collaborated to create such a messed up system that still has repercussions today. Did you have one?"

george_bejan shared a tip "If you can see my recomandations, I have there all my favorites books. If you like history I will start with Gulag Arhipelago, Man in search of meaning, 1984 and so on."
