Description

Welcome back to season 3 of our show, and we'll resurrect a long-lost segment called Coffee Wednesday. And as the pilot episode of the season, we'll kick it off with an important question that's usually overlooked: what makes a book life-changing? Nowadays, it's difficult to look beyond the hype of 'life-changing' promises and find information that will benefit us. So, how do we go about searching for these books in the age of information overload? Join us in this episode and find out!
