Modern Wisdom

I think it was in Notes from Underground as well

Notes from Underground is a book that I would really recommend to everyone because, again, it's very difficult to put into words.

the book Comedy Nerd, which is an autobiography in scrapbook form is out there. It's been released. You have access to it. It's a good holiday gift. It's the size of a holiday gift. It's heavy. It's actually 570 pages and it's heavy.

the book and the book Comedy Nerd, uh, which is a autobiography in scrapbook form is, uh, it's out there. It's, it's been released.

It's a good, uh, it's a good holiday gift. It's the size of a holiday gift. It's heavy. It's actually, it's 570 pages and it's heavy.

When you give it to someone, it's not that expensive, but it feels expensive.

Will Storr, do you know him? He wrote The Science of Storytelling, The Status Game. So he was on the show yesterday, his new book, A Story is a Deal.

my book is called A Story is a Deal. I'm getting told off. Yeah, A Story is a Deal. My new book on storytelling and persuasion.

And you've got a book. Oh, yeah, my book. A Story is a Deal. I'm getting told off. Yeah, A Story is a Deal.

Vikings to Tinder by Mads Larson.

recently published a book called Stories of Love from Vikings to Tinder, where I take the reader through an 800 year journey of Western ideologies of love to show how we ended up where we are today, and how that explains our dating dysfunction and the demographic collapse.

I've read the book and loved it like as a teenager

And most of my understanding about the back and the spine and core stiffening comes from him... and his book Back Mechanic is fantastic.

He wrote that book Hillbilly Elegy, which was a very interesting book. I mean, a very interesting book.

I got a book coming out on financial literacy called The Algebra of Wealth.

The book is called Scare City Brain. It's available anywhere.

I think we, you know, Michael Easter's book, The Comfort Crisis, which I think is a masterpiece.

And it's basically just that trying to reconcile that. So, you know, a good feminist doesn't say what I'm saying. So a good feminist supports women no matter what. And yet a good feminist actually doesn't support all women.

In general, you know, I'd read Richard Reaves' book.

Richard Reaves talks about this.

He has to prostrate himself on that.

He taught me about this over a year ago now where he said that as soon as you throw out the term toxic masculinity, it causes so many men to just check out of the conversation.

I was reading Unbroken about Zamparini. And Unbroken, Laura Hillenbrand about Louis Zamparini.

I take the readers from nuclear launch to nuclear winter and I have these little sort of nerdish history breaks where I give you some of the details like this but mostly I stay out of the policy both behind nuclear nonproliferation and also the policies that could lead to Nuclear War because I really want the readers to know like this is what happens

You know it's often said here in America that the nuclear weapons belong to the nuclear priesthood the PhD priesthood right and there's kind of an almost it seems like a foolhardy attempt to keep the laymen out to keep regular people like you and me from really knowing these things

I mean they are called the handmaidens of the apocalypse with good reason there are 14 of them they're nuclear armed nuclear powered submarines satellites can't see them they just cruise around underwater like loaded with nuclear weapons each one has as many as 90 and that's enough to take out like not a city like not a continent but arguably civilization because 90 nuclear weapons almost certainly sets off nuclear world war three

It is so profoundly classified and not a lot of people know about it and it's almost certainly on everybody's nuclear strike target list because can you imagine the mayhem that would ensue if you struck that

And that is why in my scenario North Korea launches the bolt out of the blue attack because they are not playing by the rules to them the rules exist I asked one of the experts why do they do that to show that they have power to demonstrate that they are outside the norm to demonstrate that they are menacing and will do what it is they choose to do

The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt was good.

I actually talk about this in my book for Everstrong.

And it's, you know, it evidence-based. It's an evidence-based manual.

And when you think about how you put together a diet, it's quite simple.

You literally can read it.

It is totally weird. And so what we've done, and this is particularly in the book that we're just publishing, we've made sure only to present findings that have been corroborated by other studies around the world.

We have a book website. It's thegoodlifebook.com.

Outlive was by Peter Tia was the top selling book of the last couple of years. It's like, it's like people are desperate for this information.
