While “The Question Behind the Question” or QBQ for short has been around for a long time, does it still work today? It seems to present a very rigid way of thinking about business and coworker interaction that was more popular with the baby boomer generation. In this episode we pick out the good and the bad of this book and why we would or would not recommend this to someone who maybe needs a nudge in the direction of personal accountability.

Is there a more “powerful” book than “The 48 Laws of Power”? Pun 100% intended :-) This book is raw, truthful, and real in its description of humanity and how we interact with each other. While the stories can be intense and despicable, the truths gained from each of them can be applied to our own lives in never thought of ways.  While we had originally planned to go through half the laws in two separate episodes, this first episode focused on how the naive and self-righteous like to criticize this book as immoral while proving the need for this book at the same time. Everyone wants an edge, even Mr. Goody Two Shoes with his flaunting of his superior moral positioning. Learn how to balance good and evil ensuring you can determine your own lines morality are honored in the face of hypocrites.

Sometimes there’s one book that just completely hits you in a way you never expected. Meditations was that book for us. After reading through it multiple times, the lessons we’ve gained have been extremely enlightening. Will it become a yearly ritual for us to pick up this 2,000 year old book?

Two Bros Lit discuss Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary, mixing book vs. movie comparisons with personal reactions, science explanations (relativity, language, astrophage) and touches of humor about cigars, taxes and rainy podcasting.

Can all of stoicism be boiled down to two words? “Let them”? How does “Let me” incorporate into that as well? While quite different than Ryan Holiday in style and prose, Mel presents a different package to stillness, satisfaction, and enough that definitely works for some. Whether or not we gained inspiration from the book is at the core of our discussion in this episode.
