No, I didn’t know he had a podcast too. He’s a very busy man! lol. I don’t know if you’d enjoy the book if you didn’t enjoy the podcast (I’m assuming the material is similar), but then again sometimes the medium makes a difference so you might give it a try. My husband even enjoyed it and he’s not a non-fiction reader. 🙂

I may be mistaken, but I *think* this is John Green’s first non-fiction book! If so, he nailed it. 🙂

I’d personally be happy if it was about geological epochs, too, though!

I listened to a few episodes but didn’t like it much so I’ve never read the book. Your review is so positive though, I think I should take another look. Thanks!

This sounds like a very interesting read. Thanks for sharing those passages.
This one resonated with me: “Being busy is a way of being loud. And what my daughter needed was quiet space, for her small voice to be heard.”

So you and Anita have both mentioned Green’s YouTube videos so I’ll need to go watch one. I learned something new today! 🙂

I love hearing that stand-alone essay books freed you to write your own book, Lynn! I keep getting emails from Natalie Goldberg about a writing workshop she is offering. I haven’t signed up for it, but I’m sure it would be beneficial.

I had to look that up, and yes, it’s the same John Green! I wasn’t aware he did videos until today. 🙂 I was most familiar with him from his novels The Fault in Our Stars, Turtles All the Way Down, and An Abundance of Katherines.

The name was a deterrence to me for awhile too, Jean. But I kept seeing other people recommend it so I figured they must be on to something. 🙂

Yes, this book has something for everyone. It’s very good.
