Listeners of How to Be Fine that love the show mention: self help books, verdicts, k and j, love self, love kristen, minnesotan accent, books they review, husbands, self help junkie, greenlight, listening to kristen, without actually, books without, minnesota accent, stop binge, don't have to read, without having to read, appreciate their honesty, saves me time, books i'm.
By The Book is a podcast that I absolutely love. Hosted by Kristen and Jolenta, it takes a unique approach to self-help books by actually living by the books for two weeks at a time and documenting their experiences. I find this concept to be incredibly interesting and refreshing, as it provides real-life insight into the effectiveness of these self-help methods. The hosts have great chemistry and their banter is always entertaining, making each episode a joy to listen to.
One of the best aspects of By The Book is the humor and wit that Kristen and Jolenta bring to each episode. They have a way of poking fun at themselves and the ridiculousness of some of the self-help advice they encounter, which keeps the show lighthearted and enjoyable. Additionally, their honesty about their experiences and willingness to share both the positive and negative aspects of living by these books adds depth and authenticity to the podcast.
Another aspect that I appreciate about By The Book is its ability to provide valuable insights into the self-help industry. It goes beyond just summarizing books or giving recommendations, but instead dives deep into the practicality and potential pitfalls of these self-help methods. The hosts are not afraid to question or critique certain aspects of the books they live by, which allows for a more well-rounded analysis.
While I have mostly positive things to say about By The Book, there are some minor downsides worth mentioning. Occasionally, I feel that certain episodes can drag on or become repetitive, especially when discussing books with similar themes or concepts. Additionally, there are times when I wish there was more diversity in terms of book choices, as it seems like they often gravitate towards popular or trendy titles.
In conclusion, By The Book is an incredibly enjoyable podcast that offers a fresh take on self-help books. With its humor, honesty, and insightful analysis, it has become one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. Kristen and Jolenta have created a wonderful show that not only entertains, but also provides valuable perspectives on the self-help industry. I highly recommend giving it a listen if you're looking for something both informative and entertaining.
