I realized a while back that I often get inspired to record podcast episodes after starting a new book. I was reminded of this after listening to episode 67 of Jon Acuff's "All It Takes Is A Goal" podcast: "How to read 100 books in a year". And so, after more than three months of inactivity, I'm here to share my thoughts about how reading inspires me. I specifically talk about: Episode 67 of Jon Acuff's podcast My new read, "Hero on a Mission" by Donald Miller "The Earned Life" by Marshall Goldsmith Also briefly mentioned was my love of math books.  If that caught your ear, here are a couple of recommendations: "Here's Looking at Euclid: From Counting Ants to Games of Chance - An Awe-Inspiring Journey Through the World of Numbers" by Alex Bellos "Fermat's Enigma: The Epic Quest to Solve the World's Greatest Mathematical Problem" by Simon Singh "The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets", also by Simon Singh Does reading inspire you?  What books have you read recently that motivated you to action? Thanks for listening, and I hope your spring/summer is kicking off well!

ENCORE  Imagine a world without algebra. We can hear the sound of school children applauding. What practical use are parametric equations and polynomials, anyway? Even some scholars argue that algebra is the Latin of today, and should be dropped from the mandatory curriculum. But why stop there? Maybe we should do away with math classes altogether. An astronomer says he’d be out of work: we can all forget about understanding the origins of the universe, the cycles of the moon and how to communicate with alien life. Also, no math = no cybersecurity + hackers (who have taken math) will have the upper hand. Also, without mathematics, you’ll laugh < you do now. The Simpsons creator Matt Groening has peppered his animated show with hidden math jokes. And why mathematics = love. Guests: •   Andrew Hacker – Professor of political science and mathematics at Queens College, City University of New York. His article, “Is Algebra Necessary?”, appeared in The New York Times in 2012. •   Bob Berman – Astronomy editor of The Old Farmer’s Almanac, the author of The Sun’s Heartbeat: And Other Stories from the Life of the Star That Powers Our Planet, and columnist for Astronomy Magazine. His article, “How Math Drives the Universe” is the cover story in the December 2013 issue. •   Simon Singh – Science writer, author of The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets •   Rob Manning – Flight system chief engineer at the Jet Propulsion Lab, responsible for NASA’s Curiosity rover •   Edward Frenkel – Professor of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, author of Love and Math: The Heart of Hidden Reality. His article, “The Perils of Hacking Math,” is found on the online magazine, Slate.   First released December 2, 2015.
