A panoramic, 3,000-year view over the finest insights of a diversity of civilisations. 

The book is a feast for the intellect and the imagination – to make us into the best sorts of historians, those who know how to use the past to shed light on their own lives.

This history book takes us from the very beginnings of our species right up to the modern age. We learn about Buddhism and Islam, ancient and Greek and Roman ideas, we acquire knowledge from Hinduism and the European Renaissance, the Enlightenment and Modernity. 

There are ideas here that will stick in our minds because they can help to answer the biggest puzzles we may have: about the direction of our lives, the issues of relationships, the meaning of existence.
