2019 Book Review – STP057

Episode 57 - Because sometimes books are more than books. Don't let the battle of the printed word and the audiobook get you down - you decide. Here are four books we loved reading this year; now it's your turn to enjoy them.

Look at all this stuff we covered:

• Being in the woods near THAT picnic table in the rotten weather
• 4 Seconds by Peter Bregman
• Change your habits and your life
• Dog-earing pages (yep!)
• The Getting Things Done Workbook by David Allen and Brandon Hall
• It's like David coming to your house and setting it all up with you
• The World Is F***ed by Mark Manson
• The thinking brain and the feeling brain (very cool)
• Philosophy, Narcissism, Religion - all the fun subjects
• But I read it twice in a week
• Talking To Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell
• Why people are rubbish at working out if you're lying
• How trained professionals get it horrifically wrong
• Audio - do you know how hard these people work to make sure you DON'T notice their work?
•
