Harari is great and I really hope Zuckerberg has read and absorbed some of his stuff.
Harari's most recent book got some negativity for promoting meditation, which I think some took as a self indulgent detour but it actually makes sense...
His point is that the forces trying to manipulate people (eg. on Facebook) have become so skilled that they verge on knowing you better then you know yourself. One way to innoculate yourself against this manipulation is to really get to know yourself and what you believe - in a strong and stable way - much better and he feels that meditation is a good way to acheive that.
