What’s the last great book you read? Yuval Noah Harari’s “Sapiens.” That fellow connected an awful lot of dots in that work. I thought the book would be a dense read, a slog, with a struggle for my brain on every page. I had a highlighter ready to mark the more pavement-thick paragraphs I’d have to go back and re-ponder. Instead, I flew through it like it was a nonfiction

What do you plan to read next? “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind,” by Yuval Noah Harari." I am trying to figure out what the devil is wrong with us that we seem so hell bent on destroying ourselves!

Such a great book. He goes into the fact that monogamy is probably nuts and not wired in us.

I’ve said it before and I’ll definitely say it in the future, the book Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari is truly mind-blowing. It’s changed the way I look at almost everything. I can’t endorse it enough.

By recommending “Sapiens,” Pascal encourages readers to expand their perspectives, question established narratives, and gain a broader appreciation for the interconnections between human societies and the vast tapestry of human existence.

I’ve also been fascinated with “Sapiens,” by Yuval Noah Harari, but it’s quite dense and I usually pick it up at night so I keep falling asleep after a few paragraphs.
