An ardent practitioner of vipassana meditation and a hardcore animal rights activist, Harari is one of the most reflective and self-introspective historians in existence. Throughout his works Harari dissects capitalism, religion, and basic social mores that we’ve overlooked.

Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari made his mark investigating the transition from Neanderthals to Homo sapiens.
