Listen "Missing What Matters: How Today's Books Lack Authenticity"
Episode Synopsis
Many of us are avid readers, because reading helps us learn about important topics, and more importantly compels us to create things ourselves. But today's nonfiction is loaded with so many references and footnotes that their isn't much room left for the author's authentic opinion.I argue that many creators are researching themselves out of their opinion, leaving us with dry commentary devoid of what matters; the author's rich and messy experiences.I argue that we need the organic mess as much as any rationalized arguments, and that THIS holistic and imperfect form of communication is what gives us high quality information that has meaning.Support the showBecome a premium member to gain access to premium content, including the Techniques and Mindsets Videos, visual concept summaries of each episode, community forum, episode summary notes, episode transcripts, q&a/ama sessions, episode search, watch history, watch progress and support.Join Now at nontrivialpodcast.com or patreon.com/8431143/join
