by Yuval Noah Harari
Harari traces how Homo sapiens conquered the planet not through physical strength but through shared fictions, money, religion, nations. These collective myths let strangers cooperate at scales no other species can match.
by Yuval Noah Harari
Harari argues that humanity's next project is upgrading itself - through bioengineering, AI, and data - into something post-human. The question is who controls that transformation.
The books Yuval Noah Harari references, cites, and recommends most frequently.
by Daniel Kahneman
Kahneman reveals that our minds run on two systems: fast intuition and slow deliberation. Most errors in judgement come from trusting System 1 when the situation demands System 2's careful analysis.
by Robert Cialdini
Cialdini identifies six universal principles of persuasion: reciprocity, commitment, social proof, authority, liking, and scarcity. Understanding these triggers explains why we say yes, and how others get us to comply.
by Michael Sandel
Sandel dismantles the idea that justice is simply about maximising welfare or respecting freedom. Through real dilemmas, he argues we cannot avoid moral judgement in public life.
by Richard Dawkins
Dawkins reframes evolution from the organism's perspective to the gene's. Bodies are survival machines built by genes competing to replicate - a view that transformed modern biology.
