Great concept, and even better execution. I love how this podcast gets me thinking at a meta level.

Well researched. excited for future episodes.

I'm officially obsessed with this podcast. Even if it takes 10-15 years to cover everything, I'm in.

Well researched, and well delivered. Thanks for educating us!

Love the new show! Keep up the great work.

Full-throated two-thumbs-up recommendation. Sam Webster Harris’ take on what got us here is thoughtful, insightful, and of uncommonly wide scope. Plus, he’s quietly hilarious. He doesn’t hide his clear-eyed optimism—which, besides being endearing, you gotta figure is going to be put to the test attempting something as breathtakingly grand as “How To Change the World”. Very much looking forward to a premium version.

I love Sam Webster Harris’ new podcast. His take on the events that got us here is insightful, thoughtful, and of uncommonly wide scope. Plus, he’s quietly hilarious. He doesn’t hide his clear-eyed optimism, which, besides being endearing, will no doubt be well-exercised in attempting something as breathtakingly grand as “How To Change the World”. It’s almost nail-biting waiting for the next episode to drop. (I so very much look forward to premium version!) And I gave it a full-throated two thumbs up recommendation to all my friends who are intellectually curious. Who wouldn’t want to know how we got here, and maybe even attempt to apply those insights to the future? And the journey of listening to Sam’s version of story as it he develops it is especially rewarding.

From the discovery of fire to the iPhone, this podcast explores shockwaves of innovation. I like that it focuses on linking ideas and impacts vs. veering into long lists of dates.

Reminds me of Jared Diamond. Filled with curious facts and thoughtful perspectives about history and trends.

Sam has done it again! Loved listening to growth mindset and now after just a few episodes I fear I’ll be locked to this podcast for the entire multi-year journey. This is a one of a kind, very special podcast!

I believe, more than ever, that Sam Harris is on a mission to make all of our lives better. How to Change the World connects historical dots in a way that’s hard to see without someone doing the deep research for us. I can’t wait for more episodes as he explores the biggest innovations that quite literally reshaped our world and influenced all that followed. Thank you, Sam, for taking us on this journey!

Another hit from Sam Harris! This is a great development on his growth mindset podcast, and I’m so happy he’s turning his attention to such interesting historical topics.

Harris has a gift for taking what could be a super long, boring, complex history lecture and turning it into a fast-paced audio story that actually sticks in your mind. I learned so much from just one episode, and am looking forward to more!
