What's Our Problem?
Buy on Amazon"You wrote an incredible book called 'What's Our Problem: A Self-Help Book For Societies.' In the beginning, you present this view of human history as a thousand-page book where each page represents 250 years."
A Walk in the Woods
Buy on Amazon"I remember reading a book that talked about hiking the Appalachian Trail. You might miss those hot showers for a bit, but after a few months or years, you'd get used to it."
Consider Phlebas
Buy on Amazon"The dream is to have the good overpower the bad — have you ever read the Culture Series by Iain Banks? Not yet, but I get criticized daily by mutual friends for not having done so, and I feel like a lesser man as a result."
Why We're Polarized
Buy on Amazon"It's very complex. Ezra Klein has a great book, 'Why We're Polarized,' where he talks about a lot of this."
