Adam I always appreciate your perspective. One thing that I would love to see from you that I often think about myself is not new books but timeless, classic books. Having been in this business for nearly 40 years now, I keep coming back to key ideas and writings that seem to stand the test of time. Would love to hear what you think people keep re-inventing. Keep writing.

When in doubt, always ask the waiter. Even when you don't speak the language, a lot can be figured out with a phrasebook and a waiter.

Changing channels -- when a talk show comes on

Looking forward to the new book.

(I was going to buy it immediately but then I remembered that you're a big fan of decision making by lottery so I'll have to see when its number comes up. 😁)

I'm excited about the couple of book suggestions that delve into the issue of hyper-productivity and achievement in our society. It's a theme that's been gaining prominence lately, and "Four Thousand Weeks" was the first book that opened my eyes by challenging these notions. As someone who's a recovering perfectionist/productivity enthusiast, it’s promising to see society starting to question this lifestyle. Hopefully, as a collective, we can begin to unravel ourselves from our own high expectations! Thanks for a great book list.

Thanks for the recommendations. My reading list is full (a couple of these are on it), but I’ll be returning to this list in the future!

Oops! You missed one - “Grieving: A Spiritual Process for Catholics” by Paula Kosin. It’s a refreshing approach that combines best current practices in healthy grieving with contemporary Catholic Christian spirituality. https://www.amazon.com/Grieving-Spiritual-Catholics-Paula-Kosin/dp/1616717238

These fall books are a cherry-picked paradox of sweet and tart, challenging and affirming our perspectives. Just like a bowl of fresh cherries, they offer unique flavors and remind us that unexpected ideas can be the most delicious. 🍒📚

Is it just me or are all the titles by men triumphant in nature and the titles by women almost sound tragic?

I always love your recommendations! I've looked at past ones too, that I missed before "discovering" you. For some reason, I can't find your 2022 recommendations. Would you or anyone have them and could send them my way?
