Скачать или смотреть 3 Books podcast - Best of 2025 highlights

Happy Solstice, everyone!

In the northern hemisphere today we have the least amount of daylight of any day of the year. Below the equator it has the most!

And as we do every December solstice it's time for our annual "Best Of" episode of 3 Books.

3 Books is our award-winning 22-year-long conversation to uncover and discuss the 1000 most formative books in the world ... 3 books at a time.

This year we recorded shows in Nairobi, Ottawa, Del Mar, and even a few on the street ... journeying to collect stories and lessons that can help us all live richer lives of meaning and intention.

I'm the New York Times bestselling author of six books including The Book of Awesome and The Happiness Equation. I've been lucky to speak at places like TED, SXSW, and Google. And I host a huge passion project called the 3 Books podcast.
