🎙️ WEEK 3 · DAY 3 — Yuval Noah Harari | 

The Stories We Live In

Before we could write, we told.

Around fires, in caves, on walls and in whispers.

Yuval Noah Harari reminds us that story is the architecture of human meaning—

the invisible scaffolding that holds our nations, our gods, our economies, and our sense of self.

We live inside stories so long we forget they were written at all.

This episode is an invitation to remember that authorship.

To look at the myths we inherited about love, success, safety, and worth—

and to ask the quiet, revolutionary question:

What story are you still living that no longer serves who you’re becoming?

Because stories are clay.

And you are still holding the pen.

Listen with: low strings, the faint crackle of vinyl, and the sound of your own breath returning to itself.

Mentioned thinker: Yuval Noah Harari — historian and philosopher, author of Sapiens, Homo Deus, and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century. His work explores how shared fictions shape the human world, and how awareness of them can lead us back to freedom.

Themes: storytelling · mythmaking · identity · collective imagination · consciousness · freedom

Next episode: Seeing Through Attention — how perception becomes the bridge between story and reality.
