Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Inglorious Empire written and read by Shashi Tharoor. In the 18th century, India's share of the world economy was as large as Europe's. By 1947, after two centuries of British rule, it had decreased six-fold. The Empire blew rebels from cannon, massacred unarmed protesters, entrenched institutionalised racism and caused millions to die from starvation.

In Thinking, Fast and Slow, Kahneman takes us on a ground-breaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think and make choices. One system is fast, intuitive and emotional; the other is slower, more deliberative and more logical. Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities-and also the faults and biases-of fast thinking and reveals the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and behaviour.

The guests range from super celebs (Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.) and athletes (icons of powerlifting, gymnastics, surfing, etc.) to legendary Special Operations commanders and black-market biochemists. For most of my guests, it’s the first time they’ve agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview.

What valuable company is nobody building? The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won't make a search engine. If you are copying these guys, you aren't learning from them. It's easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to 10, adding more of something familiar. Every new creation goes from zero to one. This book is about how to get there.

Shashi Tharoor shows compellingly that India stands at the intersection of the most significant questions facing the world today. If democracy leads to inefficient political infighting, should it be sacrificed in the interest of economic well-being? Does religious fundamentalism provide a way for countries in the developing world to assert their identity in the face of Western hegemony, or is there a case for pluralism and diversity amid cultural and religious traditions?

The routine traffic stop that ends in tragedy. The spy who spends years undetected at the highest levels of the Pentagon. The false conviction of Amanda Knox. Why do we so often get other people wrong? Why is it so hard to detect a lie, read a face or judge a stranger's motives? Through a series of encounters and misunderstandings - from history, psychology and infamous legal cases - Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual adventure into the darker side of human nature, where strangers are never simple and misreading them can have disastrous consequences.

Human Identity and AI
The thoughts presented helped me to think differently.
I am just my body and my breath.
The same as any other body and breath. We see ourselves as a collectives who believe in the same stories, trying to give meaning to our individual lives in the collective. At the end though it is not the collective that suffers it is the individual.
The narration of Derek Perkins made the book easier to understand.

One of the best book so far..
I must say after reading both Sapiens and Homo Deus, I was a bit skeptical on what more Yuval can bring on the table but definitely did justice by bringing out a lot of sensitive topics like immigration and giving logical explanation and stating views of all the stakeholders. His books can be kept as textbooks for young generation. Derek's narration was also beautiful.

"ये दिल मांगे more "
Covering a Canvas so vast- that too of future, and with such eloquent way; superb but at the end one yearns for more . It gives a feeling that the unforseen vastness of the 21st century has been reflected through "Hubble telescope". I sincerely hope that Mr.Harari in his next book will touch more deep dimensions through "James Webb telescope".

Zealots beware!
To me, Sapiens was easily the best book I ever came across, and it marked the beginning of my journey through a lot of scientific books. I couldn't finish Homo Deus, I found it to be too speculative.
Now, the 21 Lessons are easily the best book I listened to in years. There's a lot to learn, not just about the 21st century.
Check it out!

I started this book right after finishing Homo Deus and Sapiens, so a lot of the information in this book was repetitive.
But still, jaw dropping information! The whole book is truly eye-opening. Also loved the narrators voice.

The Possibilities of the Future by 2050
In 21 Lessons For The 21st Century, professor Yuval Noah Harari presents some the most important issues that mankind is facing in the near future – in particular by 2050. The book spams from the (upcoming) future of work, healthcare, information, immigration, environment and society, describing some of the possibilities that we are going to see in our world. On this manner, Harari specifically says that it is impossible to predict the future even by 2050 because there are so many different variants in how things might take shape. From the technological development, climate change environment, and society anything can change the outcome of the world in 2050.
This book is amazing. It gave me so much insights about our society. It explains to so many whys and pose some good questions about future. I know that this book does not predict the future but it lays some of most likely to happen possibilities. The chapter on work is my favorite but also the other chapters gave me some great ideas that helps me understand what is going on around me right now.

Significantly worse than expected
I had high hopes for this book. It turned out that author has completely exhausted his idea potential for creating the previous two titles. There wasn't much here to read that I hadn't already been provided in detail or hinted in Sapiens or Homo deus. And to add to the overall dissatisfaction, the author decided to put a great deal of personal beliefs and political views in this particular book. I have been enjoying the notorious neutrality of Sapiens and Homo deus, but in 21 Lessons I often had to filter out subjective bits. And the presence of said subjective bits might well be explained by marketing efforts of author's publisher.

I’ve not read Homo Deus but found this a perfect follow up to Sapiens. This is what we need to be studying and teaching. So much energy wasted on so much nonsense and these books enlighten although also frighten a bit. Now to work out where to from here for my generation but more importantly my children and then..... can I even contemplate their children?? Will I even have grandchildren?

Grow your mind
Yet another master class, after reading all three of his books “Sapiens”,” Homo Deus” and “21 Lessons for the 21st Century” I am left wondering how one man could possibly cover so much. To understand where we are, where we came from, and where we could possibly be heading, A true trilogy for the mind. Seekers you need look no further for enlightenment. For an inquiring mind, you have a feast on your hands here. I have yet to be educated in a more entertaining way. So many ideas to contemplate, you will never look at things in quite the same way. In a word enriching.

10/10
‘Sapiens’ will stand out in history as a clearly mapped out record of the evolution of human beings from apes to modern day.
Fuelled by passion and intellect,
organised and delivered for any curious human of under average intelligence to genius to absorb and understand.
‘Homo Deus’ is my favourite non fiction book in years, an all time favourite. I have uncountable positive comments I could make about the wisdom it shows and issues it raises. My only critique, was that I sensed a slightly biased hidden agenda from Harari, portrayed as an informative ‘on the fence’ summary of life in the modern age and what may follow.
This considered ‘21 Lessons’ is the perfect follow up, he clearly and honestly opens up to the audience, expressing his personal views amongst the pleather of facts.
I am very fond of the conclusion, where he voices the importance and value of practicing a daily non biased observation of the self without judgement or agenda.
It is amazing to me that clearly right now, human beings main problem is our relationship with our own feelings, a subject rarely considered or discussed.
I love how this man thinks and teaches by example.

An clear look at the big questions of our time
Clearly structured, well written look at many important topics that define our global era. A part of me wishes there was a big solution at the end, but I guess that's the whole point - the solutions are yet to reveal themselves, and to see our challenges clearly and soberly is a the necessary first step.

Each 'lesson' makes you think. His purpose isn't to convince you or to enlighten you to his point of view. But to make you consider your point of view and to weigh it's validity.

Grateful Christian
Great views from an intelligent sceptic. Noah is very articulate in the expression of his views and as a committed Christian (or committed to the Christian story) I really appreciated his critical views.
The overall flow and transition from chapter to chapter was helpful and the narrator does an excellent job. 👍
I found the overall premise of evolution and determinism challenging because of my Christian worldview, but that is why I decided to read it. But if you're religious or hold strong economic/political positions and ideologies. Be prepared to be offended and made uncomfortable. But I'd encourage you to get through the whole book for context and for your own sakes.
I'm glad I read this and I'm grateful that Noah tackled these issues that need discussion and exploration in today's (or tomorrow's) world.

Listened to twice now and will do again in the near future. I am tired of taking a screen shot of the cover and sending to others. I think both Audible and Kindle should think about how one can share such things - yes at a discount. Yuval would surely agree with me - not only for the $ but how that fits in the with world we are now in. Over to you Audible.

Absolutely brilliant.
I now need to buy and read this excellent insight into humanity. The last chapter came as a complete surprise. Having analysed the 21 lessons I now need to understand my mind, and my motivation for living. Even though scientists know a little how the brain works it knows virtually nothing about the mind. Despite everything that the author has written in the previous chapters make absolute sense. This book should be mandatory reading for all politicians and leaders. Finally, the book is not about dogma or religion. It is just about common sense.

Ok, but not Harari's Best Book by a long shot
Harari raises some interesting points however his arguments are not as well structured and supported as in his previous works. Feels slightly underresearched and unpolished.

Disappointing
After the truly epic "Sapiens" and the very good "Home Deus" Harari has completely missed the mark with this book. Instead of theorising and philosophising Yuval get's caught up in his own bias' and politics. If it were any other author you'd say it was a break through bit for Harari it is a complete and utter disappointment. 3/5 Stars.

The weakest of three terrific books
Sapiens and Homo Deus were triumphs. There is clear daylight to the quality of this third installment, largely as it lacks a comprehensive framework as the others did. however, still worth a read, and arguably an easier book to skim or selectively read than the first two. I am much wiser for having read these books, so for that am thankful.

Another Great Book from Yuval Noah Harai
I've listened to all 3 books from this author and have been enthralled with each. Perhaps this latest is not as profound as Sapiens or Homo Deus, but nonetheless a great and thought provoking book and well worth purchasing. The last chapter on the difference between the brain and the mind is brilliantly insightful. As always well narrated by Derek Perkins. Excellent and enjoyable.

Brilliant!!!
A brilliant eye opener!!! You won’t see the world the same way after reading this book. I wish I read this book when I was 15 (yes, even before it was written).

A+ must read for everyone
I’ve read all three of Yuval’s books multiple times. Highly thought provoking, easy to read and understand. These books may give you a different perspective on the world. While a DNA test might give people a more open minded perspective on their own bloodlines, other people and cultures, Yuvals books tackles it in a different way - by giving you a global perspective over time. The saying that life is short and make the most of it has even more importance for me now. Thank you Yuval for opening my mind to a new way of thinking. The narrator's voice - Derek Perkins, is sublime. Highly recommend.
