Great books offer readers a unique experience to develop themselves by experiencing the world through other people’s stories.  They remind us that the human experience is virtually the same regardless of geography or time period.  In this article, we discuss five great books that should prompt us to work on what needs fixing the most in the world: ourselves.

Here are 10 powerful lessons from 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari: 1. Technology is changing the world at an unprecedented rate, and we need to be prepared for the challenges and opportunities that it brings. 2. We are living in a time of great uncertainty, and we need to learn to live with ambiguity and discomfort. 3. Nationalism and religion are still powerful forces in the world, but they are also facing new challenges from globalization and technology. 4. We need to learn to manage our own emotions and be careful not to be manipulated by algorithms and social media. 5. We need to develop new forms of cooperation and governance in order to address global challenges such as climate change and nuclear proliferation. 6. We need to be careful not to lose sight of what it means to be human in the age of artificial intelligence. 7. Truth and expertise are under attack, and we need to learn to be more critical consumers of information. 8. We need to find new ways to create meaning and purpose in a world where traditional sources of meaning are being eroded. 9. We need to be more resilient in the face of change and disruption. 10. We need to be more open-minded and compassionate in a world that is increasingly divided. Harari's book is a thought-provoking and important read for anyone who is interested in the future of humanity. He provides a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities that we face in the 21st century. Here is an additional lesson from the book: • We need to be more careful about the data that we share online. Our data is being collected and used by companies and governments in ways that we may not be aware of. We need to be more mindful of the privacy implications of sharing our data online. I hope these lessons help you to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
