Episode: 143. Why Are Boys and Men in Trouble? | People I (Mostly) Admire
Here’s a list of all the books mentioned in this episode, complete with an Amazon buy link and quotes from the episode.
King Henry V
Buy on Amazon"Well, first of all, it's not true that nobody had ever heard of me, because I wrote a biography of John Stuart Mill a few years ago—last time I checked, at least 17 people had read it, so that's very rude of you."
Dream hoarders
Buy on Amazon"A great example would be the book you wrote before, which is called Dream Hoarders, which is about how the upper middle class is moving away from the rest of society."
King Henry V
Buy on Amazon"It will probably surprise listeners because you're so focused on data and solving practical problems that back in 2007, you wrote a biography of John Stuart Mill, a big thick book that runs to more than 600 pages."
On Liberty
Buy on Amazon"John Stuart Mill is a liberal philosopher from 19th century in the UK and he's probably most famous for his 1859 essay On Liberty."
Little men
Buy on Amazon"I want to honor that, and what's really interesting about this is that, you know how when you write a book, by the time you finish the book and it's out there, you're sick of it?"
