Summary
As someone on the path of major self-growth, these conversations are key in stretching your mind, changing your beliefs, and begging you to question how you want to live your life and exist in a rapidly changing world. Artificial intelligence has become more front and center in the past few weeks with A.I. art and AI generated images becoming virtually inescapable.
What can you do to thrive during these massive changes? Yuval Noah Harari is a historian and the bestselling author of the books that include Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. His book for kids, Unstoppable Us, Volume 1: How Humans Took Over the World is a NY Times Best Book of 2022. Yuval is also a professor of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the co-founder of the social impact company Sapienship.
In this episode the conversation gets deep between the need for your mental flexibility, how much narrative is influencing the world we experience, and the best way you can embrace change.
“It is much worse psychologically to feel worthless than to feel exploited” -Yuval Noah Harari

| 0:00.0 | You've all Noah Harari. Welcome back to the show. |
| 0:05.0 | Thank you. It's good to be here again. |
| 0:07.0 | Dude, I'm very excited. This is a very strange time that we are living through. |
| 0:10.0 | I want to start with a quote of yours, which I think really captures the spirit of the moment. |
| 0:15.0 | It is much worse psychologically to feel worthless than to feel exploited. |
| 0:20.0 | So given what's happening in the world right now with things being automated, going to AI, |
| 0:26.3 | what are three things, let's say, that people can do to make sure that they're poised to |
| 0:32.7 | thrive in this time of massive change? |
| 0:37.0 | First of all, I mean, that's what everybody's saying, |
| 0:39.8 | what it's true is that you have to embrace change, |

| 0:51.3 | and it will just be there for the rest of your life, which was the situation |
| 0:55.8 | for most of history. This is no longer the case. We have to keep learning and keep changing |
| 1:03.4 | throughout our lives. Otherwise we will be left behind. So that's one one key principle. Related to that is that maybe the most important |
| 1:15.4 | quality to survive and flourish in the 21st century is to have mental flexibility. Not just to |
| 1:23.4 | keep learning and changing again and again, also to keep letting go. |
| 1:29.3 | Part of what makes it difficult to learn new things that we hold on. |
| 1:35.0 | Like, you know, I spent so many years learning something, and now the world has changed. |
| 1:41.1 | And I just don't want to let go. |
| 1:44.0 | And letting go, maybe I'll give an example of how deep it goes. |
