Lex Fridman Podcast
Discussed On the Move
“He has a great biography called 'On the Move,' and there's a wonderful documentary that just came out about him—he died in 2015. I'm actually kind of a collector of his things.”
Discussed Can Love Last?
“And so this book's name is kind of corny, but it's written by an analyst, again, it's called 'Can Love Last?' It's a book about how really good strong relationships are the consequence of people constantly moving through this dependency-objectification dynamic.”
Discussed Observing the erotic imagination
“There's a book called 'The Erotic Imagination.' It's a very psychoanalytic book written by a psychoanalyst that talks about—well, here's the uncomfortable reality: Freud was at least right about one thing, which is that the brain circuitry that you use to develop attachments to your caregivers, mother and father, or other caregivers do not disappear when you hit puberty.”
The Daily Stoic
Discussed The Nineties
“In my book about 'The 90s,' I wrote about Nirvana and grunge, and I included a footnote regarding how it may seem like I'm juxtaposing a white guy from the eroded world of rock with a hip-hop artist from the rising world of rap.”
Discussed Chronicles
“Reading Bob Dylan's memoir gave an intriguing perspective; he believed long songs with many verses are valuable for practicing memorization without context.”
Discussed But What If We're Wrong?
“I had a book come out in 2016 called 'But What If We're Wrong?'. So I was doing an audiobook for it, and I thought, 'I don't like the sound of my own voice.'”
“I can remember specific scenes from Richard Wright's Black Boy in a vivid way.”
Discussed Crossroads
“I'm reading Jonathan Franzen's Crossroads right now, and it's great, but I've already forgotten parts at the beginning of the book.”
Discussed I Wear the Black Hat

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
“It's like the universe is just aligning with you. As I wrote in 'The Shortcut to the Secret,' the key is to be happy now.”
Discussed The Greatest Secret
“And the other one was, I remember when I first started, I would, and I know you used the beautiful word awareness in The Greatest Secret, I remember I used to write on a little post-it note when I'd wake up in the morning, I'd have it next to my bedside table and then by the place where I brush”
Discussed Think and Grow Rich
“When I was reading your book, I felt so happy because when you were sharing, this was the greatest secret; I couldn't agree with you more.”
