In today's episode, Kaustubh and Anirudh invite Aditya Lele to talk about one of the most powerful books he had read - Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari About Sapiens: Sapiens – helps answer a few intriguing questions: Why did Homo sapiens turn into an ecological serial killer? Why is money the only thing everyone trusts? Why are most societies male-dominated, while women have superior social skills? Why is it that people who are so skillful at acquiring power fail to convert this power into happiness? Is science the religion of the future? Is the time for human beings long overdue? 100,000 years ago there were at least six different human species on Earth. Today there are only Homo Sapiens. What happened to the others and what will happen to us?  Most studies take either a historical or a biological approach to the human journey, but Harari breaks with tradition in this book, which begins with the Cognitive Revolution 70,000 years ago. Exploring topics ranging from the role of humans in the global ecosystem to the rise of empires and the modern world, Sapiens combines history and science to reconsider accepted narratives.

We are back! In the first episode of our 2nd season, we invite London School of Economics Alumnus, Hari Ram, to talk about his first book: Beneath the Walnut and its Almond Chamber About the book: Are you scared about your future leaving you paralysed like a rabbit facing a snake? Do you wonder what is beyond the web of time that you are currently stuck in? Are you craving to explode into a limitless zone away from your fears, anxieties, and worries? You are not alone in this quest. Human beings have been hankering after this limitless zone since time immemorial. That zone is nowhere outside. It is just beneath your walnut-shaped brain and its almond-shaped medial temporal lobe. About the author: From his childhood, Hari Ram (b. 1979) had a passion for discovering the truth behind life steering clear of religious dogma. His journey of self-realisation was backed by pure logic and science, especially neuroscience, leading to the discovery of the non-dual. This book, his first, is a consequence of his efforts to spread awareness about the least understood (and often largely misunderstood) working patterns of the brain that could help people to break away from their existential angst, stress and depression and experience true happiness. An alumnus of the London School of Economics, Hari is a management consultant by profession and lives in Hyderabad, India with his wife Poornima and children Vyomesh and Smrithi.
