When I read Yuval Noah Harari’s books, I felt something very profound:
It was as if the thoughts that had always existed deep inside my mind, but had never fully taken shape, finally found their meaning through Harari’s words. Especially in “Sapiens,” as I looked at the story of humanity, I found myself questioning my own identity and my place in the world. Suddenly, everything appeared before my eyes like a massive web woven from the past to the present.
In “Homo Deus,” the vision of the future both excited me and made me reflect deeply. Technology, artificial intelligence, dreams of immortality… All of it sounds fascinating, but between the lines, Harari makes one truth clear: as power increases, so does responsibility.
This made me realize that in my own life, it’s not just about reaching my goals, but also about how I get there and that how matters just as much as what.
“21 Lessons for the 21st Century” felt like a real wake-up call for me. The world is changing rapidly; information flows endlessly, perceptions are manipulated, realities are twisted. In such an era, even just staying grounded requires a sharp awareness and a deep commitment to my own values.
What Harari’s books made me realize is this:
“You cannot make sense of today without understanding the past, and you cannot build the future without understanding today.”
The best part is, these realizations didn’t feel like a burden they felt like a source of strength.
On the other hand, the concept of Nexus brought a whole new meaning to my life.
Seeing that every person, every event, and every thought are interconnected by invisible threads taught me that even the smallest individual actions can have far greater impacts than I ever imagined.
Now, whenever I take a step, I no longer think only for myself

“For someone who sees the truth among the deluded is like a person whose watch alone tells the correct time in a city where all the clock towers show the wrong hour.
Only he knows what time it truly is.
But what use is that to him?
The whole world follows the city clocks that show the wrong time even those who know that his watch is the correct one.”
Arthur Schopenhauer
“Çünkü aldanmışlar arasında olup da doğruyu görebilen biri, tüm saat kulelerinin yalnızca yanlış zamanı gösterdiği bir şehirde saati doğru işleyen tek insan gibidir.
Saatin gerçekte kaç olduğunu yalnızca o bilir.
Fakat bu onun ne işine yarar ki?
Tüm dünya yanlış zamanı gösteren kent saatine göre hareket eder; hatta onun saatinin doğru olduğunu bilenler bile.”
Arthur Schopenhauer
