Episode description

In this episode, I delve into the complexities of the game Go compared to chess, and then dive into this week's book club selections.

First up, 'F* Wales' by Maddox, which humorously critiques typical self-help advice with chapters targeting various societal norms.

Next, I discuss 'Barking Up the Wrong Tree' by Eric Barker, which uses scientific research to debunk common self-help myths and offers practical advice for achieving success, such as the importance of your network and family history in a child's emotional well-being.

Tune in for insightful quotes and practical tips from both books while I tackle a game of Go.
