Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind Paperback

Author: Yuval Noah Harari

Print length: 512 pages

Publisher: Penguin Random House

We, human being always stuck when we plan for our future. Everyone is rushing to make his future a better life then his present our past life. We plan our future life with leaving our past life. We do not want to go back; we do not want to remind our past life. But is it a better way to plan our future life by living our past life? So to understand these answers I came up with this book.

This book deals in history, anthropology and science genre but any ordinary person even non science background person can read this book. He can learn from this book not only in literature form but also in pictorials.

While reading this book, we understand…

1. From our first day in school, we are taught about our ancestors but who are actually our ancestors? Where they came from? Where they were born? Why we are different from them?

2. Why inventing fire was so important to them? How fire helped them to survive?

3. How our ancestors communicated? What forms they used to communicate?

4. Revolutionizing agriculture is a boon or a bane for humankind and its expansion?

5. Is it wise to judge other people based on religion, colour of skin, physique etc. when we all have same ancestors?



6. Why our ancestors remain so cruel to animal Kingdom for centuries?

7. When, why and where we felt differences in ourselves became victims of racism?

8. Why communicating in Spanish is more comfortable after Mandarin? Why not English?

9. Did our ancestors much happier and healthier than ours?

10. After a Millennium will the Homo sapiens became extinct?

11. Why we people are more insecure and anxious about our day to day events?

This book can be a perfect reading material for the ones who are interested in our evolution, history and the forces that have shaped us as a modern being.

It makes me learn about how our money and capitalism functions. I also understand it more humorous at times, and most of the things written in it might have people either chuckling or howling with outrage. It gives a glimpse of cultures and civilizations practiced in the world.

This book impacted so much on me and I hope it will also create snow fall effect on you also. It helps me to understand the human evolution and to recognize a pattern of testing and learning by reminding and analyzing our past. We can make a better future. If we realize this then it is now up to us to lead. And we need to do it together.

The power of your subconscious mind book is written by Joseph Murphy . It is a self-help type book . In the book we read about the power of our subconscious mind. Our mind is the only leader of our thinking. It defines our success or failure. It decides our capabilities to do the things possible or impossible. We read in the book… People all around may discourage us but we should try and try until the task is done. We can do everything what we can think, if we prepare our subconscious mind. Our thoughts decide our life and actions to try to be positive most of the time. We have healing power in our subconscious mind. Every disease first develops in our mind then reaches to our body. We should govern our task according to our thinking. In any situation of our life we should think that we are happy, harmonious, strong, loving and careful etc. Negative thoughts like stress , anxiety, fear, tension etc. destroy our thinking and result in serious diseases. Peace of Mind is the greatest...

We all know today is 15th August Independence Day. It is a very great day for us as a citizen of India. Today everyone is sharing photos and updating status on all the social media sites, like the whole country is coloured with tricolour. We all celebrate this day every year with full zeal and in patriotic way. We all have a cordial nature for our soldiers. We will always remember the sacrifice of soldiers in Jammu Kashmir operation (1948), China war (1962), Pakistan war (1965), Bangladesh war (1971), IPKF operation Pawan in Sri Lanka (1987), Kargil conflict (1999), and many more operations that gave befitting response to those who tried to dismantle the sovereignty of India. It feels very good to see everyone is patriotic and showing love towards the country but this feeling should be long lasting not only on Independence Day or in Republic day. In these two days we proudly hoist flag everywhere but after one or two days we saw many tore flags on the road, in garbage like a waste pap...

Unblocking The Most Beautiful Heart

It was 25 th  2010 July, first day of my engineering college. I was very sincere, so I was there to attend the class there were three boys and two girls, others were absent because it was first day and some people take the first day lightly. It was Reena ma’am‘s class but before teaching there was an introduction session. Though I was not good at English but I managed to introduce myself and told her about myself. After sometime it was turn of a girl. Her name was Jasmine, she was very busy in reading some books I thought she did not mind what’s going on. Ma’am said, “Jasmine… tell me about yourself.” She hastily stood up; she was very chubby, cute girl with pink cheeks. She introduced herself; i was very closely observing her and her beauty. Some of her hair locks were disturbing her vision by playing with her spectacles. For me it was like love at first sight. Her pink lips were like petals of rose. Her eyes were big like it was hiding a deep mysterious ocean in which i could ...
