Currently reading: Feel-Good Productivity by Ali Abdaal 📚

I’m not exactly sure how I made it this far in life before hearing about Arthur C. Brooks, but I’m glad that I did! I’ve listened to a few of his podcasts, including his interview with Rainn Wilson on the Soul Boom podcast. Arthur is a true philosopher with a deep background in Catholicism, bringing my ideal blend of faith and reason to any topic.

Brooks has spent a considerable part of his career working on the subject of happiness. This book, co-written with Oprah, focuses on the science and application of principles that help us reorient our lives towards something more.

I will admit, the book had lots of moments that sparked new thinking, but it was a slog to finish it. I don’t know why, because I found the writing to be engaging and easy to get through.

His work has really exploded across the internet over the last twelve months, from podcasts to Hallow to Headspace. He’s worth the time.
