Here’s a list of all the books mentioned in this episode, complete with an Amazon buy link and quotes from the episode.
What to expect when you're expecting
Buy on Amazon"I'm not sure whether you know that book, but roughly every first-time parent I know has three copies of it; one that they bought for themselves and two that were gifted to them by friends. And I suspect your book will be gifted much less frequently than 'What to Expect When You’re Expecting,' given people's discomfort with death."
Superfreakonomics
Buy on Amazon"And a prediction that I made that I wish hadn't been true but turned out to be quite true was Stephen Dubner in the book Super Freakonomics. We suggested that because of private incentives, the attempts to rein in carbon emissions just weren't going to work, and we predicted that the globe would struggle to control our emissions of greenhouse gases, and many people were angry at us."
