"My book is about what it’s really like to be married. We live in this world where everyone instagrams and facebooks the most perfect parts of their marriage and partnerships but we never really talk about the nitty-gritty. What I realized about getting married – and I got married on the later side, I was 35 years old – is that no one gives you advice for the actual marriage."

"My book, You Are a Badass at Making Money: Master the Mindset of Wealth, is about figuring out what’s holding you back from making money, how to get over it and start changing things in your life so that you can start making money."

"My book is based on the draft of a novel I wrote and gave up on over 15 years ago when I was in my early 20s and I only reread it in my thirties and at that point I had gotten a PhD in Literature and I spent time teaching undergraduates and I published a book of essays -- which you definitely read or listen to as an audiobook -- it’s called The Possessed."

"I’m a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford but a few years ago I took over from Richard Dawkins as the Professor for the Public Understanding of Science. The title always makes me laugh a little bit because I think everyone expects I must know the whole of science and here I am to explain it to you all. But it got me thinking, certainly no scientists must know it all but maybe there might come a point when science knows everything about the universe. Maybe we could answer all the great unsolved problems about the universe."

"My book Lucky Broken Girl is based on a true story, something that really happened to me. Me and my family had just arrived to NY in the ‘60s from Cuba, fleeing communism and we were just getting settled, adapted, I was learning English, and we were adjusting with difficulties but we were adjusting to our new life, a new language, a new culture."

"There are many field guides for the songs of birds, the songs of crickets, there are no guides of the songs of trees. So I wanted to go sit and listen to all the incredible different sounds that emerge from trees that echo within their wood and to share some of that experience with readers and get beyond the experience and into the stories behind them."
