About this listen

From where did the world appear?

Is the creation story true?

Why is Man the way he is?

Were there men before you and me?

Would there be other species after you and me?

Religion and politics: What is their origin? And why do they rule our world so strongly?

Oh well! You might be in for a shocker! If you were told today that you come from a lineage of animals, and probably have some apes and chimpanzees as long-lost cousins, what would you think? If you knew that the creation story was just make-believe invented to control your world, what would you say? What if you were told that your species would one day come to an end?

All of these and many more are the topics explored in Sapiens.

In the book Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari discusses all you need to know about who you are and where you come from, and debunks the many myths that have lived with us until now.

This book contains a comprehensive, well-detailed summary and key takeaways of the original book by Yuval Noah Harari. It summarizes the book in detail, to help people effectively understand and imbibe the original work by Noah. This book is not meant to replace the original book but to serve as a companion to it.

Contained are:

  • Executive summary of the original book
  • Key points of each chapter and
  • Brief chapter-by-chapter summaries

Disclaimer: This is a summary and review of the book Sapiens and not the original book.
