Sapiens in Practice: Applying Human History to Systems and Strategies turns the big ideas of human history into practical tools for modern life. Drawing on the sweeping arc of the Cognitive, Agricultural, Unification, and Scientific Revolutions, this course shows how shared stories, institutions, and incentives shape everything from our personal habits to global markets. You’ll learn why flexible language and “shared fictions” enable large-scale cooperation; how agriculture created prosperity and new constraints; how money, empires, and universal religions standardized the world; and how science, capitalism, and industry unlocked explosive growth—and risk. Along the way, you’ll practice translating timeless patterns into decisions for work, civic engagement, parenting, and personal well-being. Expect an engaging blend of concise summaries, critical reflection on Harari’s claims, and hands-on frameworks for strategy under uncertainty. Quizzes reinforce core concepts; action prompts help you build habits that compound. By the end, you won’t just understand the human story—you’ll wield it. Make better choices about incentives, institutions, narratives, and risk. Design systems that balance progress with ethics. And leave with a clear playbook for living wisely in an age of permanent acceleration.

            <p>This course translates the sweeping arc of human history into a practical playbook for building systems, shaping strategies, and making wiser choices in modern life. We begin by illuminating why Harari’s central claims matter now: the stories we tell—about money, law, religion, nations, and even progress itself—coordinate strangers, legitimize power, and set the incentives that sculpt our days. From that lens, you’ll trace four pivotal revolutions—the cognitive, agricultural, unifying, and scientific—and see how each forged new possibilities alongside hidden costs. You’ll examine how language birthed shared fictions that scaled cooperation, why farming expanded populations yet narrowed freedoms, and how empires and universal religions stitched distant cultures into interdependent networks. Along the way, we investigate money as the most universal story, the marriage of science and empire, and capitalism’s future-oriented faith—each turning knowledge into authority, and belief into infrastructure.</p>
<p>The heart of the course is application. You’ll probe six overarching themes—cooperation through shared fictions, the ambiguity of progress, entanglement of biology-culture-economics, our ecological footprint, the fusion of power and knowledge, and the radical uncertainty of the future—and turn them into tools. Through focused modules, you will design personal narratives that align values with habits, craft professional strategies that respect incentives and risk, and engage civically with coalitions, trade-offs, and trust-building. You’ll explore the modern deal between states and markets, test claims about declining violence, and wrestle with happiness amid acceleration. In the closing movements, we look forward: biotech, AI, and cyborg futures; the ultimate questions of consciousness and purpose; and a synthesis that becomes practice—tiny daily habits, portfolio-minded life decisions, and a living question—Who do we want to become? By the end, you won’t just understand the human story; you’ll wield it to design better systems, wiser institutions, and a more resilient self.</p>
