'I encourage all of us, whatever our beliefs, to question the basic narratives of our world, to connect past developments with present concerns, and not to be afraid of controversial issues.' Dr Yuval Noah Harari has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History. His research focuses on broad questions, such as: What is the relation between history and biology? Is there justice in history? Did people become happier as history unfolded? 65,000 people have signed up to his online course, A Brief History of Humankind. Sapiens is an international bestseller and is being published in more than 30 languages worldwide. In 2012 Harari was awarded the annual Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality in the Humanistic Disciplines.
This is The Sunday Times Bestseller. Planet Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it. Us. We are the most advanced and most destructive animals ever to have lived. What makes us brilliant? What makes us deadly? What makes us Sapiens? In this bold and provocative book, Yuval Noah Harari explores who we are, how we got here and where we're going. Sapiens is a thrilling account of humankind's extraordinary history - from the Stone Age to the Silicon Age - and our journey from insignificant apes to rulers of the world. "It tackles the biggest questions of history and of the modern world, and it is written in unforgettably vivid language. You will love it!" (Jared Diamond, author of Guns, Germs and Steel).

《人類簡史》已經不算是一本新書瞭,我也早早就買下,但卻讀不下去,當時我根本就懶得談這本書,因為寫得非常一般。讓我納悶的是,這本書在坊間的評價極高,和我的觀感大相徑庭,當時也沒太當迴事,也許我水平高呢。直到前些日子,萬維剛在他的專欄力捧這本書。萬維剛是我的偶...

評分這是我在微信讀書App講《人類簡史》的文稿,37分鍾音頻版請登錄微信讀書App,直接點擊《人類簡史》即可聽我講的音頻版哦。 我們為什麼對曆史感興趣? 又該如何閱讀曆史? 有人說,日光之下,並無新事,所有的事情,都在曆史上有章可循,於是,閱讀曆史,我們可以發現必然的規律...

Mind-blowing!!!
評分Mind-blowing!!!
評分Culture is a parasite; agriculture is a trap; ideologies are just modern religions; consumerism’s the heaven promised by capitalism as a religion. And at the end of the day human society is operating based on myths instead of facts.
評分中英文兩本一起讀的,從春節放假開始,到後來上班很忙一星期隻能讀幾頁,於是前後花瞭差不多兩個月纔讀完。信息量巨大,在作者淺顯的敘述和簡單的例子中終於重新認識和理解瞭中學歷史課上怎麼都聽不懂的人類的過去,也結閤瞭自己親身經歷的這三十年來的種種,陷入無限的哲學思考和心理學反思中。
評分非常有洞見有信息量(aka很囉嗦)的書 很多全新的角度打開智人的曆史,很多觀點還待慢慢消化 最後一章人類遠景看得我心驚肉跳是我infer瞭嗎 以及作者語言一流要學習一個
