The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb vs. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari

The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

www.amazon.com/Black-Swan-I...

Skin in the Game may be nice but The Black Swan is the OG Nicholas Taleb. Read this book to learn how to think and avoid biases and reread at least once very couple of years.

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari

www.amazon.com/Sapiens-Huma...

The great thing about this book is that it takes a big-picture view of human history. It attempts to explain the main themes of human history without getting bogged down in the details. Sapiens also debunks many popular myths about human history, including the one that people today live happier lives and have better diets than our hunter-gatherer predecessors. It comes with an epilogue about the future of humankind in light of ever-accelerating technological progress. With the recent advances in AI it is more relevant than ever. If you're going to read one book on history this year, read this one.
