Acknowledgements
I would like to express my gratitude to the following humans, animals and
institutions:
To my teacher, Satya Narayan Goenka (1924–2013), who taught me the
technique of Vipassana meditation, which has helped me to observe reality as it
is, and to know the mind and the world better. I could not have written this book
without the focus, peace and insight gained from practising Vipassana for fifteen
years.
To the
Israel Science Foundation, that helped fund this research project
(grant number 26/09).
To the Hebrew University, and in particular to its department of history, my
academic home; and to all my students over the years, who taught me so much
through their questions, their answers and their silences.
To my research assistant, Idan Sherer, who devotedly handled whatever I
threw his way,
be it chimpanzees, Neanderthals or cyborgs. And to my other
assistants, Ram Liran, Eyal Miller and Omri Shefer Raviv, who pitched in from
time to time.
To Michal Shavit, my publisher at Penguin Random House in the UK, for
taking a gamble, and for her unfailing commitment and support over many
years; and to Ellie Steel, Suzanne Dean,
Bethan Jones, Maria Garbutt-Lucero
and their colleagues at Penguin Random House, for all their help.
To David Milner, who did a superb job editing the manuscript, saved me from
many an embarrassing mistake, and reminded me that ‘delete’ is probably the
most important key on the keyboard.
To Preena Gadher and Lija Kresowaty of Riot Communications, for helping to
spread the word so efficiently.
To Jonathan Jao, my publisher at
HarperCollins in New York, and to Claire
Wachtel, my former publisher there, for their faith, encouragement and insight.
To Shmuel Rosner and Eran Zmora, for seeing the potential, and for their
valuable feedback and advice.
To Deborah Harris, for helping with the vital breakthrough.
To Amos Avisar, Shilo de Ber, Tirza Eisenberg,
Luke Matthews, Rami
Rotholz and Oren Shriki, who read the manuscript carefully, and devoted much
time and effort to correcting my mistakes and enabling me to see things from
other perspectives.
To Yigal Borochovsky, who convinced me to go easy on God.
To Yoram Yovell, for his insights and for our walks together in the Eshta’ol
forest.
To Ori Katz and Jay Pomeranz, who helped me get a better understanding of
the capitalist system.
To Carmel Weismann, Joaquín Keller and Antoine Mazieres, for their
thoughts about brains and minds.
To
Diego Olstein, for many years of warm friendship and calm guidance.
To Ehud Amir, Shuki Bruck, Miri Worzel, Guy Zaslavaki, Michal Cohen, Yossi
Maurey, Amir Sumakai-Fink, Sarai Aharoni and Adi Ezra, who read selected
