OK I wanna learn Hegel but the Phenomenology of Spirit is just way to much for me. Is there something else I can read that explains it more clearly?

I would read the introductory portions of his History of Philosophy here: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/works/hp/hpconten.htm (up to about Oriental philosophy) it looks dry but he pretty much outlines his entire idea of Mind and Idea right from the jump.

you can take or leave zizek's lacanian leanings but both pippin and Milbank consider him an excellent interpreter of hegel who debunks a lot of the really dumbed-down hegelian tropes like a teleological world-spirit and thesis-antithesis-synthesis (reeeeee). just google "zizek hegel", unfortunately his views are piecemeal but with some work it eventually comes surprisingly well together. just skip the lacanian stuff if you don't like it

also pic related is fantastic and introduces hegel at a pretty high but still very accessible level

Philosophy of History is his easier book. It actually made some popular memes for Nationalism and "great nations" narrative.

Who is he? Does he have anything worth reading?
