About this listen

In the concluding episode of our series based on 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari, we turn inward. Harari shares how meditation—particularly the Vipassana technique—became his way of navigating the deepest questions of life after finding religion and academia lacking. Through direct observation of sensations and thoughts, meditation reveals the impermanence of the self and the roots of suffering. This episode explores how disciplined inner inquiry, much like scientific research, can expand our understanding of consciousness and offer clarity in a complex world.
