From the first season of How This Works

On the podcast How This Works, we talk about books here and there — non-fiction and fiction — and this is a list of those books. And we didn't want to link to a big bookseller to point the way, Bezos has enough of our attention and money.

 

The books in this list are published from most recently mentioned to the very first reference. 

 

How This Works is a show for those of us who are curious. It's a weekly deep dive into a wide variety of expert conversations with 100 people — including designers, actors, infectious disease experts, recruiters, cannabis experts, chefs, musicians, artists, architects, and others. Some are old friends, some are people we've just met, but all are human beings in the world.
