Today in the Book Lounge, Tom & Karin discuss the book The Four Agreements with special guest Nathan Maingard.

Each week Book Insights creator and author of The 50 Classics Series Tom Butler-Bowdon and Memo’d Program Manager Karin Richey invite you to join their fun and casual conversation about the book of the week. Hear what they love it about, what they don’t, how they rate it, and how it can advance your work and life. You’ll learn why it was selected to be part of the curated list of Book Insights, and what’s new with the book or the author currently.

This week, Tom and Karin offer you insight on:

*Nathan Maingard shares how influential The Four Agreements has been on his music, in his relationship with his partner and navigating the world as an influencer as well.

*Learn the value of ignoring the agreements society places on you and instead choose the agreements you will hold for your life. Don Miguel Ruiz recommends 4 but gives much room for individuality.

*How simple things like doing your best, being honest and other healthy practices can have life-changing effects.

What is the difference between Book Insights episodes and Book Lounge episodes?

Book Insights are formal, structured summary, analysis and exploration of a bestselling nonfiction book. Each episode is read by a professional voice actor and will introduce a new title selected specifically for its value to your work and life. Book Lounge episodes are casual discussions about the book, the author, and anything else that comes along through the course of conversation. It’s more of a broad chat about how the book relates to current, everyday life.

Should I listen to both the Book Insight and the Book Lounge episode on the same book?

Sure! Each episode works fine as a standalone piece, so no requirement to listen to both or to listen in any particular order, but we definitely recommend (and think you’ll enjoy!) both. Think of it like reading a book and liking it so much you want to chat about it on the porch with a friend. That is the vibe at the Book Lounge.
