Hey little piggies. This week, I review Your Brian Is Always Listening: Tame the Hidden Dragons. This book is quite good. I found it beneficial. This book is by Daniel G Amen, MD, and he is a little touchy-feely but also practical. He gives great advice and has changed my thinking on what influences my behavior, for better or for worse.

What up you positive pigs! I hope you are doing well. This episode features Rhonda Byrne's book, The Secret. Spoiler alert: I hated this book. I think it touts absolute garbage. The book claims there is some law "The Universe" follows called The Law of Attraction. Find out what that law is and how to use it in this episode. You also get all the reasons why I think The Secret is poopy.

Why hello there. Good to have you. This week I review Mark Manson's book, Everything Is F*cked: A Book about Hope. But is it? Mark is the same guy who wrote The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck. Surprised? In this book supposedly about hope, he basically says that everything I believe is a lie for losers. Needless to say, I do not agree with 90% of this book. But it was an interesting read. Come get the down and dirty in this episode.

Hello! This week, I read The Bhagavad Gita. It is a book of Hindu scripture. And it is wonderful. I cannot say enough about how thought provoking and insightful this book is. It enriched how I look at my own religious understanding, and helped me be much more conscientious about my thoughts and actions this week. Get your own copy immediately!

Hey everyone! This week, I review Gabrielle Bernstein's The Universe Has Your Back. She definitely is a bit woo-woo for my taste, but I can see why people like her style. She offers a lot of good step-by-step processes, if you're into that sort of thing. But listen to the whole episode for my full review.

Thanks for listening.

I really enjoyed the book for this week, Soul Boom. It is written and read - I went the audiobook route - by Rainn Wilson. Yes, the actor who played Dwight in The Office. He gives a decent overview of world religions and presents a thoughtful argument about the good religion can evoke in us. I liked the writing, and am convinced that he and I would get along.

Hey, how are ya!? This week, I review Flow. A book by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. The copy I have was published in 2008. He also gave a TedTalk about this topic in 2004 that you can find on YouTube. I enjoyed the book. I think it pairs nicely with whatever religion you follow to hopefully make your religion a little more fun and engaging. Check out the episode to get my full analysis.

Happy Valentine's Day! In honor of this fantastic holiday, I reviewed a book that has nothing to do with love...other than learning how to love everyone...? This book was good. I found it very interesting. It is a good introduction to the practical side of Buddhism. Way better than The Power of Now. I am not sure I agree with Buddhism being "true," which Wright never explains...but it is a decent argument for the benefits of meditation.

Hello! This week, I review the overly influential book White Fragility written by Dr. Robin DiAngelo. I, obviously, have to love this book as a white person who does not want to be racist...anymore. I must say that it was an insightful book full of wonderful advice about how whites can overcome the racism we all have. I must also say that this book will change my life, once I put it into practice. Come listen to see what I really thought!

Happy Week! We are almost done with January. Hopefully, you have been keeping up your New Year's Resolutions. I am. This week, I review The Plus by Greg Gutfeld. It was not a great self-help book. I did glean a few good points of advice but only by sifting through a myriad of bad jokes and pages of Trump defenses. Not sure what I expected though...Gutfeld is a Fox News comedian. I am sure I will be completely uplifted by next week's book, White Fragility.
