This book surveys the history of humankind from the Stone Age to the 21st century, focusing on Homo sapiens. It divides human history into four major parts: the Cognitive Revolution, the Agricultural Revolution, the Unification of Humankind, and the Scientific Revolution. Harari argues that Homo sapiens dominate the world due to their unique ability to cooperate in large numbers through beliefs in imagined realities such as gods, nations, money, and human rights. The book also examines the impact of human activities on the global ecosystem and speculates on the future of humanity, including the potential for genetic engineering and non-organic life.
In this book, Esther Perel explores the paradoxical union of domesticity and sexual desire, arguing that our cultural penchant for equality, togetherness, and absolute candor can be antithetical to erotic desire. Drawing on more than twenty years of experience as a couples therapist, Perel uses case studies and lively discussions to demonstrate how more exciting, playful, and poetic sex is possible in long-term relationships. She emphasizes the importance of maintaining independence, mystery, and the space between self and other to sustain desire.
Dr. Kelly Casperson, board-certified urologist and sexual health expert, joins Dr. Rena Malik to discuss the foundations of great sex, the impact of hormones, how men can support partners through perimenopause, and the realities behind penile enhancement and squirting. The episode covers communication for better intimacy, ways to spot when a partner is faking orgasm, the importance of addressing sexual myths, and how optimizing physical health pillars—sleep, exercise, and nutrition—contribute to both sexual and overall wellbeing. The conversation also addresses societal pressures around body image, evidence-based perspectives on hormone therapy for menopause, masturbation, and the need for more inclusive and honest sexual education for all.
