DR. YUVAL NOAH HARARI has a PhD in History from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Department of History, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in World History. His research focuses on broad historical 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 taken his online course, “A Brief History of Humankind,” and Sapiens is a huge bestseller in Israel and is being published in more than 20 languages worldwide. In 2012 Harari was awarded the annual Polonsky Prize for Creativity and Originality in the Humanistic Disciplines.
It would be extremely interesting to have a discussion on one of Harari books. He is mind-boggling controversial and it would be a good exchange of ideas. Even though one book by him is more than enough – I read “Homo Deus” and that was my dose.
