Books podcasts were talking about in July 2018
July 2018 discussions across various podcasts covered fields ranging from professional negotiation and workplace satire to physical health and comedic arts. On The Jordan Harbinger Show, Alex Kouts recommended Chris Foss's Never Split the Difference as a primary resource for mastering the art of negotiation. Workplace dynamics took a satirical turn on This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von, where Duncan Trussell praised David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs for capturing the absurdity of modern corporate employment, while Bobby Lee humorously critiqued the film adaptation of 12 Years a Slave by Solomon Northup. Creative pursuits and health were also prominent topics. On the Monday Morning Podcast, Bill Burr read Marla Frazee's children's book The Boss Baby to his daughter on air. Felipe Esparza talked about learning his craft from Gene Perret's Comedy Writing Step by Step during an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, where Jeff Garlin also discussed using Gary Taubes's Why We Get Fat to understand nutrition and weight loss, and Joe Rogan reflected on Ernest Hemingway's descriptions of hunting in Green Hills of Africa. Finally, Larry Sharpe appeared on The Rubin Report to credit Robert Ringer's Looking Out for #1 as a major influence on his business mindset.
