Why We Sleep
Recommended“For example, when researching episodes on sleep, one of the valuable books I read is Matt Walker's book 'Why We Sleep.' I've read that book, but I also wanted to ensure I captured the key takeaways, and Blinkist was crucial for that.”

The 4-Hour Body
Discussed“Other books that I've read before and that I own and enjoy, but I listened to the Blinkist version of from time to time are things like Tim Ferris's "The 4-Hour Body" or Tim Ferris's The 4-Hour Chef book, both of which are excellent or Nassim Taleb's "The Black Swan" and there are many other titles as well.”

Listening to Prozac
Discussed“I remember the book 'Listening to Prozac' from when Prozac and similar drugs first emerged, and the excitement that surrounded them. Nowadays, I hear more about the problems associated with these drugs, and perhaps it's because I engage in both scientific and wellness communities where the focus is on behavioral change.”

Dry
Discussed“I once heard it described in this, I think it was an Augusten Burroughs book, "Dry" where he was an alcoholic.”
