Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
“Civilization rests on a series of successful conversations.” —Sam Harris
Neuroscientist, philosopher, podcaster and bestselling author Sam Harris, has been exploring some of the greatest questions concerning the human mind, society, and the events that shape our world.
Harris’ search for deeper understanding of how we think has led him to engage and exchange with some of our most brilliant and controversial contemporary minds - Daniel Kahneman, Robert Sapolsky, Anil Seth and Max Tegmark - in order to unpack and understand ideas of consciousness, free will, extremism, and ethical living.
For Harris, honest conversation, no matter how difficult or contentious, represents the only path to moral and intellectual progress.
Featuring eleven conversations from the hit podcast, these electric exchanges fuse wisdom with rigorous interrogation to shine a light on what it means to make sense of our world today.

Important Conversations
Creatively Crafted Conversational Content. Sam has amalgamated a series of important conversations, I love it.
If you follow Sam's work then you will recognize that this book contains a string of meaningful conversations on topics that are important to everybody. This should be heard with an open mind, to allow for growth and understanding in a time that needs it most.

A good listen, and Sam is awesome as always
It gets a bit repetitive by the end, mostly because many of these people are in the same academic circles and don't disagree all that much. Still a good listen and some interesting perspectives on our future.

Best of Both Worlds
In a way this is more fun than regular audiobooks, because we get to listen to alive conversations rather than dead narrations.
It's also better than subscribing to his podcast, because it's a neatly packaged collection that you can easily revisit to try to absorb as much as you can.
The content is great and far-reaching too. There are conversations from consciousness to multiverses, and then back down to Earth to discuss racism and much more. Highly recommended!
