Enjoy a short preview of our latest full-length Book Club episode.  Want to hear the whole thing and get 2.0 CEs for FREE? Subscribe to our Patreon today at the premium $10+ levels for that plus other bonuses! It's the ginormous book that got Book Club Guy, Alan Haberman, to travel to Massachusetts to talk about. But did we have a good time reading the tome that is synonomous with "trauma care"? Our Summer 2025 Book Club choice is the best-selling "The Body Keeps the Score", a go-to reference for anyone interested in learning more about trauma and its treatment. But, because it's us, if you think we're just going to do a happy-little review of what's between the hippy-dippy cover art and fawning back cover references, you really don't know our style. In between describing our favorite examples of "that's really a therapy?" we discuss the controversy over Dr. van der Kolk's work, how much trauma-informed practice has come since the book's publication, and answer the question, "Is this book really appropriate for behavior analysts?" Whether you're looking for other BCBAs to discuss this book with you or because you just don't have time for another 400-page doorstop right now, get your ear buds in and enjoy the discussion! The full episode is available for 2.0 LEARNING BACB / 2.0 TRAUMA-INFORMED QABA CEUs. Patrons at the $10 and up level, as part of your subscription, you'll be able to earn these CEs for no charge!

“Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself”: So reads one of the great opening lines in British literature, the first sentence of Virginia Woolf's classic 1925 novel, “Mrs. Dalloway.”The book tracks one day in the life of an English woman, Clarissa Dalloway, living in post-World War I London, as she prepares for, and then hosts, a party. That's pretty much it, as far as the plot goes. But within that single day, whole worlds unfold, as Woolf captures the expansiveness of human experience through Clarissa's roving thoughts. On this week's episode, Book Club host MJ Franklin discusses it with his colleagues Joumana Khatib and Laura Thompson.Other books mentioned in this episode:“The Passion According to G.H.,” by Clarice Lispector“A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing,” by Eimear McBride“The Lesser Bohemians,” by Eimear McBride“To the Lighthouse,” by Virginia Woolf“Orlando,” by Virginia Woolf“A Room of One's Own,” by Virginia Woolf“The Hours,” by Michael Cunningham“Headshot,” by Rita Bullwinkel“Tilt,” by Emma Pattee Unlock full access to New York Times podcasts and explore everything from politics to pop culture.

They chat about why David moved from acting to script-writing and why he then decided to have a go at novels, whether the success of One Day is liberating or constricting (but is mainly very nice), how the premise of a novel about a geography teacher going on a hike might not seem that promising (but don't worry, it's great), why being alone becomes less debilitating as you get into middle-age, how to combine comedy and romance with more serious and philosophical themes, whether David is a planner or an improviser and whether he's thinking about the TV adaptation as he's writing the novel.Buy the book here - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/you-are-here-nicholls-david-9781444715446/2754344Come and see RHLSTP Live http://richardherring.com/rhlstpTo see Rich on tour head here http://richardherring.com/gigs Hosted on Acast.

Somehow, it's already time for our June Book Club Breakdown, and this month we're diving into Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry!This romantasy gave us so much to talk about—from unexpected plot twists to very specific education on biting (yep), reading, and a few questionable character choices. Cale uses the words “bamboozled” and “nursemaid,” so you know the shenanigans are strong in both the book and this episode.Listen to the episode and hop over to our instagram and let us know if you agreed with our assessment or if you have different big thoughts of your own!

Pria Anand speaks to managing editor Emily Everett about her story “The Elephant's Child,” which appears in The Common's spring issue. The piece is a vivid retelling of a Hindu myth, the origin story of the elephant-headed god Ganesh. Pria talks about the process of writing and revising many versions of this ancient myth, why she felt inspired by it, and how her literary writing intersects with her career as a neurologist. Pria also discusses her debut book, The Mind Electric: A Neurologist on the Strangeness and Wonder of Our Brains, out this month from Simon & Schuster. The book explores how story and storytelling can illuminate the rich, complex gray areas within the science of the brain, weaving case study, history, fable, and memoir. Pria Anand is a neurologist and the author of The Mind Electric, out from Simon & Schuster in the U.S. and Little, Brown in the U.K. Her stories and essays have appeared in the Los Angeles Review of Books, Time Magazine, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, The New York Times, Ploughshares, and elsewhere.

He has to revise his theories, and over the next few days he realises that he meat he saw underground must have been from an Eloi...

Mike and Kristen dive deep into Michael Bungay Stanier's The Advice Trap, exploring why our natural instinct to give advice actually makes us worse leaders. This episode reveals the uncomfortable truth: your advice isn't as good as you think it is, and constantly offering solutions is damaging your team and overwhelming your schedule. The hosts get painfully honest about their own advice-giving habits while breaking down the three personas of the "advice monster" - Tell It, Save It, and Control It. They explore the psychological rewards we get from playing rescuer (#winsnotwins) and share practical strategies for staying curious longer instead of rushing to solutions. If you've ever wondered why your team keeps coming to you with problems instead of solutions, or why you feel like the only person holding everything together, this episode will help you understand the hidden costs of advice-giving and show you a better way forward.Highlights:Why advice damages organizations by demotivating receivers, overwhelming givers, and limiting team potentialThe three advice monster personas (Tell It, Save It, Control It) and their shared DNA belief: "I'm better than the other person"Understanding #winsnotwins - the short-term rewards that keep you stuck in advice-giving patterns and why recognizing these prizes is key to changeWhy taming your advice monster requires battling between present you and future you (the adult marshmallow test)The TERA framework for psychological safety using Tribe, Expectation, Rank, and Autonomy to create safer conversationsSix "foggy-fiers" that derail problem-solving, from "twirling" (first problem isn't the real problem) to "yarning" (too much storytelling)Moving beyond single questions to strategic coaching combos that uncover real challengesSpecific language patterns for interrupting conversations without damaging relationshipsHow your background affects when and how you should give away power as a leaderMaking coaching a regular interaction instead of formal compliance meetingsLinks & Resources Mentioned:The Advice Trap by Michael Bungay StanierThe Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay StanierDownload Additional Book Resources from MBS Love & Leadership Episode #9: The Coaching HabitWhat Got You Here Won't Get You There by Marshall GoldsmithThe First 90 Days by Michael D.

In this monthly book club edition of Yet Another Value Podcast, host Andrew Walker is joined by Byrne Hobart of The Diff and Capital Gains to unpack Ray Dalio's latest book, How Countries Go Broke: The Big Cycle. The pair probe Dalio's sweeping macroeconomic theories, debt cycles, historical analogies, and technology's role in shaping the future. They scrutinize the credibility of Dalio's claims, the real-world implications of sovereign debt risks, and the potential misapplications of macro trading skills to macroeconomic policymaking. The conversation winds through AI's effect on productivity, the staying power of elites through societal upheavals, and even the viability of crypto as a hedge. It's a rich analysis with sharp skepticism and economic nuance._________________________________________________[00:00:00] Podcast and guest introduction[00:01:38] Initial thoughts on Dalio's book[00:05:26] Short vs. long debt cycles[00:06:40] Historical cycle timing critique[00:07:24] Pre-WWI and 1930s comparison[00:10:11] Disconnection between theories and globalization[00:16:25] Institutional trust and economic cycles[00:18:18] Credibility of Dalio's theories[00:21:26] Macro trading vs. macro policy[00:24:42] Trump-era policy implications[00:26:19] Foreign debt selling as signal[00:28:14] Put options in tail events[00:32:35] Buffett's strategic puts example[00:35:32] Technology optimism in final chapter[00:40:25] AI effects on labor, productivity[00:45:43] Older professionals using AI[00:47:00] Book's global bearish stance[00:51:22] Historical elite persistence examples[00:53:45] Bitcoin in crisis scenarios[01:01:54] Sovereign wealth fund proposal critiqueLinks:Yet Another Value Blog: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com See our legal disclaimer here: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com/p/legal-and-disclaimer

Zohran Mamdani's victory in the New York City mayoral primary has electrified people across the country and stirred hope in the dark. So today we talked to three experts — messaging guru Anat Shenker-Osorio, strategist and writer Waleed Shahid, and New York City Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander — to understand what happened in the race and what it bodes for the future of the Democratic Party.Shenker-Osorio talked to us about how Mamdani's campaign was a textbook example of two of her political mantras — Sell the brownie, not the recipe, and Animate the base to persuade the middle.Lander took us inside how he and Mamdani were able to do what Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders ultimately weren't in 2020 — collaborate as progressives to advance shared goals. He told us about how their partnership helped bridge the gap between Muslim and Jewish voters, and how it demonstrated that, even in this very dark timeline, politics can be a team sport instead of a contest of self-interest.And Shahid talked about Mamdani's win as a triumph of substance, not vibes. Mamdani's real talk about Palestinians and the war in Gaza, about democratic socialist policy ideas, and about himself were all important in telling a story that could connect Democrats across ideology. He also talked about the very real work that remains to be done if progressive candidates are to do better with Black voters.We are opening this video to all.

In this episode, Bryce Zabel and Chrissy Newton take a deep dive into Imminent, the highly anticipated memoir by Lue Elizondo. From his unusual upbringing and military background to his insider perspective on AATIP and UAP disclosure, the book covers a wide range of bold and fascinating topics. The hosts discuss Elizondo's revelations about crash retrievals, biologics, Roswell, and the secretive Interloper program, while also exploring his focus on consciousness, national security, and the challenges of pushing this conversation forward. They reflect on the book's tone, structure, and impact, acknowledging both its strengths and the questions it raises. Bryce and Chrissy offer thoughtful commentary on the balance between personal storytelling and hard evidence, and why Imminent feels like a pivotal entry in the growing library of serious UAP literature. Whether you're a longtime follower of Elizondo's journey or just getting started, this conversation brings both insight and appreciation to one of the most talked-about books in the field.

In 2003, when the author James Frey published his first book, A Million Little Pieces—a gut-punch account of his experience with addiction and rehab—nobody could have expected what would come next. Thanks to an Oprah Book Club endorsement, A Million Little Pieces was instantly catapulted to bestseller status, but soon blew up in scandal after Frey admitted to having falsified certain portions of the book, which had been marketed as a memoir. The drama that ensued sparked a media controversy—one that now, around 20 years later, feels petty and misplaced, especially in the context of today's cancel-culture climate. More than 10 million copies of A Million Little Pieces have sold since, and Frey is still at it, writing, publishing, and pushing the boundaries of his art. His latest novel, Next to Heaven, is a rollicking, raunchy, absurd-yet-not satire about money, murder, and the all-too-human desires for power, pleasure, and greed. On the episode—our Season 11 finale, in which Frey sat lotus for the entire duration—he reflects on the A Million Little Pieces saga; his long-term study of Taoism; writing as a gateway to vulnerability; and why love, for him, is the greatest drug there is.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:James Frey[5:08] “Tao Te Ching”[5:08] Lao Tzu[5:08] Stephen Mitchell[5:08] Taoism[8:51] Cubism[13:11] “A Million Little Pieces” (2003)[14:16] “Next To Heaven” (2025)[14:16] New Canaan, Connecticut[17:14] Jackie Collins[17:14] “Hollywood Wives” (1983)[17:14] Danielle Steel[21:35] Honoré de Balzac[29:37] “Katerina” (2018) [29:37] “Full Fathom Five” (1947) by Jackson Pollock[37:14] “Larry King Live” (2006)[39:09] “Tropic of Cancer” (1971)[42:24] “Up to Me” (1985)[44:20] “Kissing a Fool” (1998)[52:22] “My Friend Leonard” (2005)[52:22] “Bright Shiny Morning” (2008)[52:22] “The Final Testament” (2011)[58:56] “Author Is Kicked Out of Oprah Winfrey's Book Club”[58:56] “James Frey: ‘I Always Wanted to Be the Outlaw'”[01:03:18] Bret Easton Ellis[01:03:18] Jay McInerney[01:03:18] Norman Mailer[01:10:54] Rashid Johnson[01:10:54] HBO's “Native Son” (2019)

My guest on this week's Book Club podcast is science writer Carl Zimmer, whose new book Air-Borne: The Hidden History of the Life We Breathe explores the invisible world of the aerobiome – the trillions of microbes and particles we inhale every day. He tells me how Louis Pasteur's glacier experiments kicked off a forgotten scientific journey; how Cold War fears turned airborne research into a bioweapons race; and why the COVID-19 pandemic exposed a century-long misunderstanding about how diseases spread through the air.

In this hilarious and heartfelt episode inspired by The Fake Ass Book Club itself—plus a dash of The Office Ladies and everyone's favorite guilty pleasure, AITA—your hosts dive into the drama, joy, and occasional chaos of real-life book clubs. After catching an episode where The Office Ladies talk about book club drama, Moni and Kat were inspired to hit Reddit and uncover some of the funny and most relatable book club drama out there. From petty squabbles over genre picks, to full-on fighting couples,  this episode explores how something as innocent as a monthly read can turn into a battlefield of opinions and egos. The hosts weigh in on Reddit's most pressing book club AITA (Am I The Asshole?) dilemmas. Whether you're a book club newbie or a seasoned group-chat veteran, this episode is for anyone who's ever tried to mix wine, literature, and strong personalities and lived to tell the tale.

CannCon and Ashe in America dig into Chapter 3 of Overruled by Justice Neil Gorsuch and Janie Nitze, titled “Bureaucracy Unbound.” From absurd federal overreach involving magician rabbits and Hemingway's six-toed cats to the unchecked power of unelected regulators, this chapter is a scathing critique of the modern administrative state. The hosts unpack Gorsuch's legal insights and historical context, highlighting how agencies now blur the lines between legislative, executive, and judicial powers. Equal parts infuriating and entertaining, this episode challenges the very foundation of how laws are made and enforced in America today.

Dating, Part 2 Do you need some love? Expert dating advice today! Today we feature two of our favorite people, Dr. Kyle Jones and Dr. Carly Zankman, who will discuss many aspects of dating. Both Kyle and Carly are advanced and highly effective TEAM CBT therapists with tons of experience in dating, and of course, in treatment. They share their personal experiences, as well as their considerable therapeutic expertise, in this highly energetic podcast. They cover a wide range of topics including ghosting, dealing with people who give you the run-around, negative self-fulfilling prophecies, Rejection Practice, how to avoid “chasing” (which Kyle calls the “Temptations Trap”) so you can be the one who's being chased instead of the one who's doing the chasing, the importance of being playful and how to make dating fun. The also encouraged avoiding some of the common kinds of negative self-talk, like “This date will suck,” or “I'll always be alone,” or “People shouldn't be so superficial,” etc. Kyle and David discussed Kyle's first Sunday hike. Kyle had just been rejected by his boyfriend, and was feeling super down, telling  himself he was a reject and a loser. They describe how Kyle change his internal dialogue during the hike, and began to talk to himself as a winner, as an awesome, hot, sexy guy, which lifted his mood tremendously. Then David suggested a strategy designed to turn the tables on his ex-boyfriend: “Just go to a gay singles bar tonight and pick up some good looking guy and get laid! If you do that, I can guarantee your Ex will come crawling back, and then you can kick some sand in his face!” Abd that's exactly what happened! David emphasized the importance of looking your best, in terms of clothing and appearance, when dating, as well as the resistance that some people have (mostly men) who insist they “shouldn't have to play the gain.” I described my collaboration with a salesperson at the King of Prussia Bloomingdale's named Kuniko Finkelstein when I was in clinical practice in Philadelphia. I used to refer my single guys to her for a “sex uniform,” and she would select extremely sexy and appealing outfits for them. We highlighted the self-centeredness and foolishness of telling yourself that women or men should love me for the way I am. They say, “I shouldn't have to play the game.” Of course, you DON'T have to play the game, but if you don't, you may and probably will end up alone! And once you DO learn how to “play the game,” your chances of finding a deep and meaningful love relationship go way up. About Kyle and Carly Kyle Jones, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist with a private telehealth practice serving clients throughout California.
