BOOK: 21 LESSONS FOR THE 21st CENTURY🔥

[A BOOK WITH A CONVERSATIONAL EXPERIENCE]

I have often wondered what makes us procrastinate from reading books. 📚

There could be multiple reasons:
not having found the right book, impatience, distraction, poor time management, poor vocabulary, etc. 🕰

I feel, we as humans love talking and hate listening to others talk, or express their opinion — and reading books is pretty much equivalent to 300–500 pages of witnessing someone else express their opinion with no say of ours! 💬

This book is a different experience altogether!
The clarity in the author’s insights, the courage in his brutally presented honesty about rather delicate subjects is truly impressively reassuring.
The discussions with facts and predictions instill an enduring impact.
He has presented an elaborate investigation that compels me to question myself and have conversations with the book and the strata presented in it.👁

These conversations (taking notes, pondering, contemplation, enlisting consequential questions) have led me to thoroughly enjoy this book. 📝

So the next time a half-read/ unread book haunts you, and you procrastinate too much, try conversing with it! 🗣

In a world deluged by irrelevant information, clarity is power.” ✨
-Yuval Noah Harari

The clarity, the author is offering on these subjects is deeply insightful helping us level the global playing field. 🌏
As he has so rightly mentioned, history gives no discounts. If the future of humanity is decided in your absence, you will not be exempted from it’s consequences.
The least we can do is be prepared. 🔧

The author’s blunt and brutally honest approach has a global agenda. Focusing on the major forces that shape societies all over the world, and that are likely to influence the future of our planet as a whole. Reality is composed of different threads and the book’s tries to cover different aspects of global predicament.⚖️

It is much harder to struggle against irrelevance that against exploitation.
