Biographie de Yuval Noah Harari

Yuval Noah Harari was born in Israel in 1976 and grew up in a secular Jewish family. He came to the UK in his twenties where he studied at Oxford before returning to Israel where he is currently a lecturer at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, specialising in the Middle Ages and World History. From a young age he was preoccupied by the big questions in life : is there justice in history, does power ensure happiness, and what - if anything - makes humans different from other animals ? Writing Sapiens : A Brief History of Humankind was an attempt to answer these questions and the book has since become an international phenomenon attracting a legion of fans from Bill Gates and Barack Obama to Chris Evans and Jarvis Cocker.
His follow-up, Homo Deus : A Brief History of Tomorrow sees him tackle questions about the future of humanity and has been a similar international sensation. He is a vegan and meditates for two hours every day as well as attending extended Vipassana meditation retreats every year. He lives with his husband in Karmei Yosef, just outside Jerusalem.
