  • Episode 30 - Four Thousand Weeks
    Nov 22 2024

    Hello! This episode, I review Oliver Burkeman's Four Thousand Weeks. I found this book very refreshing. Burkeman makes a simple argument: we should use our time more to make ourselves feel fulfilled. How can we feel fulfilled? What fulfills us? Well, that is obviously different for everyone. But it shouldn't be "work" for anyone. Which I like because I have no job.

  • Episode 29 - Switch
    Nov 15 2024

    Hello all. I hope you're all doing well. I read a rather underwhelming book this week. Switch has not been my favorite. In fact, I think it was much outdone by Atomic Habits...so you could just go back and listen to that episode rather than slog through this one...but if you want the nitty gritty on Switch, then you're in the right spot. Enjoy!

  • Episode 28 - Win Every Argument
    Nov 7 2024

    Hello wonderful listeners. I hope you enjoy the episode this week, especially with such a divisive election. I particularly hope you enjoy the episode because I did not particularly enjoy this book. This week I review Win Every Argument by Mehdi Hasan. The book was a bit too smug and self-aggrandizing for me to enjoy.

  • Episode 27 - Finding Me
    Nov 4 2024

    Hello! Apologies for the late episode this week. Halloween and The World Series kinda got in the way of my productivity. But it's here, better late than never. And this one is a great one! I look at Viola Davis' memoir, Finding Me. A wonderful book...a tad heavy...but quite inspiring. See what I learned from it in this episode.

  • Episode 26 - The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
    Oct 25 2024

    Hello! This week, I review Mark Manson's The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. I liked this one better than his poor book about hope. That one was not good. This was much better. Take a listen and get my major takeaways from Manson's first hit.

  • Episode 25 - The Coddling of the American Mind
    Oct 18 2024

    Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay with this episode. Just been one of those weeks. And maybe it's because I have a feeble mind...This is a great book, very thought provoking, very well-researched, and very much tapping into answering why all of us millennials hate GenZ and Gen Alpha. I hope you enjoy my full review!

  • Episode 24 - Atomic Habits
    Oct 10 2024

    Hey! This week, I review one of my favorite books so far on this project. James Clear's Atomic Habits is a fantastic read. He makes creating good habits and destroying bad habits a logical puzzle. It's a simple, direct, and pointed read. If you are looking for a good place to start improving yourself, this is the book.
