- S12 Ep149: There Is No Problem A Book Can't SolveEver made eye contact with someone reading on the subway? Uli Beutter Cohen has. As the creator of Subway Book Review, Uli shares *that* moment that ignited her quest to document people and books. Now her platform, which combines digital, oral, and written storytelling, spans over 20 countries. Uli explains what is behind a book (a reader and author), how books paradoxically offer both escapes and life lessons, and why they are foolproof, the one medium of connection where there is always a solution.
