'Summary of 21 Lessons For The 21st Century' Summary of the book
How do you prepare your children for the year 2050? Or even the year 2100? It’s a great question, especially because nowadays, no one knows what the world will even look like then. Historically, humans could make at least decent assumptions about where the world was headed. But in today’s fast-paced, technology-fueled civilization? Forget it!
However, that doesn’t mean it’s not worth giving our best to prepare for an uncertain future. In 21 Lessons For The 21st Century, Yuval Noah Harari helps us do just that. After his previous bestsellers Sapiens, which explored the human past, and Homo Deus, which focused on our distant future, his latest book is about our biggest challenges in the here and now and how we can deal with them.
Here are 3 from his 21 lessons to help us and future generations thrive in the 21st century:
1. Whoever owns the data wins, which is why everyone struggles for it.
2. We don’t know, we just think we do – and that’s a problem.
3. Education must show us how to navigate information, not give us more of it.
Are you sometimes worried about the future? Don’t fret, let’s prep! (fourminutebooks.com)
