Our Favourite Books Of 2021: An Overview Of Some Bangers!

What is Effective Philosophy? Juan and I simplify hard to grasp concepts into pragmatic takeaways that can be applied to every day life (fitness, goal setting, work, parenting, travel, hobbies, finances, etc.,). 2 x episodes a week. We go live every Wednesday with our meanderings, plus an extra as a more casual conversation with a guest or between ourselves.

Description
Chapters

Of the ~83 books we read between us in 2021 we found a couple that were worth examining.

In Episode #269 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: why I wanted to make this a full episode, how we think about the process of reading, why 'Sapiens' was a standout for Juaney, an explanation of my rating system, why 'Lost Horizon' and 'Catch-22' were standouts for me, a list of other books that caught our attention (for good or bad) and how much time we spend reading per day.

Big thanks to Dave Jones, Anthony from 'Signs of New Growth', Petar and Oscar Merry for helping to support this episode.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
