343: What and Why We Read
Update: 2024-12-31
Description
Summary
In this episode, I reflect on how books have impacted my life and why standing up to book censorship is essential. Given my interest in books, I was curious to know what some of my colleagues, friends, and family members read in 2024 and what they will read in 2025. So, I contacted more than 40 of them, asking them for a brief bio, their books of choice, and why a given title found its way to their bookshelf and nightstand. See their suggestions below.
Three Major Takeaways
-
Books as Lifelong Companions: Jeff's "next" shelf symbolizes curiosity, learning, and discovery throughout life.
-
Reading as Resistance: Championing books combats censorship and fosters critical thinking.
-
Power of Storytelling: Great books connect us to history, nature, and universal truths, shaping perspectives and fostering empathy.
