21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari
Bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari, known for Sapiens and Homo Deus, presents 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, a thought-provoking book that explores the most pressing challenges and questions of our time. Unlike Sapiens, which focuses on the past, and Homo Deus, which envisions the future, this book examines the present—offering insights on technology, politics, climate change, artificial intelligence, and the role of humanity in an uncertain world.
Harari navigates complex issues with clarity, helping readers understand topics such as fake news, nationalism, terrorism, big data, and automation. He encourages us to stay informed, think critically, and cultivate resilience in a rapidly changing world.
With a mix of history, philosophy, and personal reflection, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century is an essential read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of modern society and how we can navigate the future with wisdom.

Thought-Provoking and Insightful
The book raises important questions about the future of work, education, democracy, and human values, urging readers to think deeply about the choices ahead.
Accessible and Engaging
Written in Harari’s signature engaging style, the book presents deep philosophical and technological discussions in a way that is easy to grasp.
"In a world deluged by irrelevant information, clarity is power."
Translation (Sinhala): "අප්රසන්න තොරතුරු වලින් ගිලී ගිය ලෝකයක, පැහැදිලි බව යනු බලයයි."
Translation (Tamil): "பயனற்ற தகவல்களால் நிரம்பிய உலகில், தெளிவான புரிதல் தான் சக்தி."
"If you cannot afford to waste time, you will never find the truth."
"Education is no longer about memorizing information; it’s about knowing what to ignore and what to focus on."
