Who recommended this book
“I recommend history books (Durants, Sapiens) all the time. It’s just that I don’t think you need to go to school to “learn” history. Save school for the stuff that’s hard to learn on your own. Read literature, history, philosophy, etc. in your spare time because you love it.
