Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

This book was left unopened on my shelf until now because someone told me it was a dry read. I HAVE BEEN LIED TO.

This is easily one of the best non-fiction I've ever read and it's a must-read for all homo-sapiens.

I always believed, knowing my history is knowing myself. Knowing my cultural history has helped me understand my social and cultural conditioning and helped me channel it or break out of it. This book does just that for all us humans as a collective. Knowing our collective history helps us zoom out and understand how myths and collective imagination bond us together to this day.

There were so many “how did I not think of that” moments. I can't recommend this book enough.
