Every book Judith Newman recommended on podcasts
Judith Newman appeared as a guest on The Book Review podcast to discuss and review various titles ranging from relationships to memoirs about mortality. In a discussion covering relationship and sex books, she reviewed Michael Bennett and Sarah Bennett's F--k Love, noting its practical premise that relationship issues are better approached without vast emotional turbulence. She also discussed Wendy Strgar's Sex That Works: An Intimate Guide to Awakening Your Erotic Life, sharing her initial skepticism and subsequent appreciation for the guide. In another segment focused on books about grief and dying, Newman brought up Nina Riggs's memoir The Bright Hour: A Memoir of Living and Dying. Alongside it, she referenced Atul Gawande's previous major bestseller Being Mortal and Paul Kalanithi's recent bestselling memoir When Breath Becomes Air. Furthermore, during a discussion on new parenting releases, she grouped Sarah Ockwell-Smith's Gentle Discipline with another title to explore modern parenting strategies in greater detail. Through her appearances, Newman offered thoughtful commentary on books designed to help readers navigate intimate relationships, personal loss, parenting challenges, and the emotional realities of the human condition.
