I can relate. Growing up I would listen to Jerry Howarth call the Blue Jays games on the radio on long summer drives, with my friends at the park, or just on my clock radio with the “Sleep” timer on as I fell asleep. I was thrilled to visit the Skydome in downtown Toronto to sit down with Jerry Howarth for Chapter 30 of 3 Books. We get comfy watching batting practice together with some reggae and dance music in the background. Why do I love Jerry? Because for thirty-six years he was a local leader and community-builder who created trust with millions of baseball fans… In addition to discussing his book Hello Friends, Jerry and I talk about: How do we build a community? How do we develop authentic connections? How can we learn the art of being objective? And how do we learn to coach leaders from the ground up? So come join me and Jerry in the front seats of the Skydome just before the game begins. Welcome to Chapter 30 of 3 Books.

Harris is a former staff editor for Vancouver Magazine and Western Living, and his writing has also appeared in Wired, Huffington Post, The Globe and Mail, The National Post, and The Walrus. He has been nominated for both the Western Magazine Awards and the National Magazine Awards for his writing. Michael lives with his husband in Vancouver, Canada.   Chapter Description: Loneliness rates have doubled since the 1980s and Vivek Murthy, former US Surgeon General, says loneliness will be the next major epidemic. So if loneliness is being alone and sad … then what’s being alone and happy? Solitude. Last year, I picked up an incredible book called Solitude by Michael Harris, bestselling author and winner of the Governor General's Award for his writing. It completely blew me away. Why? Because in our era of endless machine-gun blasts at our brains, I feel strongly that the ability to be alone, and to be alone well, is a muscle that is quickly atrophying. Michael shares why we need to develop the strength and capacity to live and be by ourselves and how exactly we go about cultivating a rich interior life. I think after this conversation you’ll agree the benefits are enormous and this true “strength of mind” is a crucial aspect of living an intentional life. For Chapter 29 of 3 Books, I flew to Michael’s home in Vancouver, BC. We discuss: How do we cultivate the area between wakefulness and sleep? What does a healthy media diet look like? Why shouldn’t you talk about anything serious over texts? And how do parents and children navigate the conversation about coming out of the closet? Welcome to Chapter 29 with Michael Harris.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: What’s the difference between solitude and loneliness? How do you find love and intimacy in a world of pornography? How can we help children become more self-sufficient? Why can’t you improve your connection with other people until you improve your connection with yourself? How can you prime your brain for creativity? How can we learn to live more intentionally? What is the gateway to help people get into different genres of books? Why is it important to invite ‘weirdness’ into our cultural consumption? Why should you never trust Netflix’s recommendations? How can we avoid miscommunication with people online? Should any books be banned from children, and should we censor content from kids? Leave us a voicemail! Your message may be included in a future episode: 1-833-READ-A-LOT.

His blog, markmanson.net, attracts more than two million readers per month. Mark just released a brand new book titled Everything is F*cked: A Story About Hope, and will be publishing another book, Will Smith's memoir, later this year. Chapter Description: Have you by chance heard of a book called The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck? I’m guessing you have since it’s sold, oh, no big deal, over six million copies over the past three years in the US alone. Is there a bigger book in the world right now? No. There is not. And there hasn’t been a non-fiction book this big and this disruptive in a long, long time… So: Is Mark Manson a one-hit wonder? A one-trick pony? Was the success of his book a total random fluke? His fifteen minutes of fame? I’m gonna say it straight up. No. Absolutely not. Mark’s first book, and it’s meteoric success, is the ultimate product of an unbelievably large mind which has mastered the art of taking the biggest, densest books on the planet and then simmering, simmering, and simmering them down into beautifully simple, profanity-laced models and stories that hit you like a ton of bricks. The world is so loud! So busy. So full. Everything is screaming at us to buy this, buy that, do this, do that. And you know what we need in this wild crazy world? We need guides. We need clear voices. We need people to give us simple and practical advice that we can follow and put into place… Mark Manson is one of those guides for me and millions of others. So in his cramped hotel room at The Drake Hotel in Toronto, on the eve of his release of his second book Everything is Fucked: A Book About Hope (which is mind-expandingly beautiful), Mark and I go deep, really deep, on how to build trust in an era of clutter, why he swears so much in his writing, why he poo-poos self-help gurus, what is the root problem with the “advertising model”, why Mark played video games for months straight after the success of his first book, and what his writing routines and principles are… Welcome to Chapter 28 with Mark Manson. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why is it important to be selfish when it comes to your writing? Why is swearing an important form of self expression? What is the root problem with the “advertising model”? How do we make the most of our time in our short, tiny lives? How are science and spirituality interrelated? How does knowledge from ancient philosophers relate to modern psychology? How do we choose the path that’s most aligned with our morals instead of most profitable? Why is there no such thing as atheism? Why do we need to be more comfortable with quitting? How can you chew on and digest huge, complicated topics? Why should you consider unfollowing all news? How can you read more without losing your free time? Leave us a voicemail!

Bar Raval is currently #70 Best Bar in the World. Chapter Description:   A few years ago my friend Rita was raving to me about Bar Raval, a new bar in downtown Toronto, and took me there one night. She said the interior was this unreal Antoni Gaudí-inspired pattern of curved mahogany which I had to see to believe. So we get there and I go up to the bar and come face to face with this bartender completely covered in tattoos and say, “Can I grab a drink?” And he shoots back, “What do you want?” And I say, “Well, what do you have?” and he says “No, what do you want?” And I say “Well, I don’t want anything sweet.” And he does this sort of slow swivel to look back at the huge display of glass jars full of colorful tinctures behind him and then stares back and me and says, “Does it look like a fucking sweet place to you?” I was taken aback. But he kept challenging me to say what I wanted, what I felt like, what I was going for … and so finally … I did. I exploded in this giant passionate diatribe about how I wanted to feel optimistic and refreshed and nostalgic … and then he gets to work. He begins smashing ice cubes, picking glasses from fridges, shaving limes, adding drops of who knows what to my glass and then finally puts down in front of me a bubbling neon green concoction like I’d never seen. And you know what? The drink was optimistic… and refreshing … and nostalgic. It was like a magic trick! I couldn’t believe it. Over the years I got to know and fall in love with this fiery, passionate bartender named Robin Goodfellow. Turns out he owned the place together with some partners. As well as other bars including PrettyUgly and Harry’s. In 2018, Bar Raval was ranked #1 of Canada’s top bars and PrettyUgly was ranked #8. Also, Bar Raval is currently ranked #70 best bar in the world. Robin has been bartending for sixteen years and spent eight years studying social theory. Robin and I go deep into the purpose of a bar, what everyone is looking for in life and how we can find it, what underpins all great service, how to become more mindful eaters, the paradox between authenticity and quality, and why the farm-to-table movement is over. I hope you enjoy Chapter 27 of 3 Books with my favorite bartender Robin Goodfellow. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: How do we find what we are looking for in an era of loneliness, separation, and anxiety? What should bosses never say to employees? What’s the paradox between authenticity and quality? Why should you try to sell a feeling rather than a product? How can eating animals and certain plants be seen as exerting power over nature? How has the ‘ideal body image’ changed over centuries? Does cultural appropriation exist within the food industry? What’s the difference between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ traditions, and when should we argue against tradition?  Leave us a voicemail! Your message may be included in a future episode: 1-833-READ-A-LOT.

For more info check out: www.3books.co James Frey is the author of the international bestsellers A Million Little Pieces, My Friend Leonard, Bright Shiny Morning, The Final Testament of the Holy Bible, and his latest hit, Katarina, and has sold over 20 million copies of his books in 42 languages. In 2009, Frey founded the publishing company Full Fathom Five, through which he wrote and released The Lorien Legacies series under the pseudonym Pittacus Lore as well as the YA series Endgame. Frey is well-known for writing about his struggles with substance addiction and his path to sobriety.  Chapter Description: What do you know about James Frey? Or what do you think you know about James Frey? I’m guessing it’s not nothing. Everyone has an opinion! When I first spotted A Million Little Pieces on my wife’s bookshelf when we were moving in together I was like “Oh? Really? That book? The Oprah guy?” And she was like “Have you read it?” And I was like “No, no idea what it’s even about. Just that it’s not real or whatever.” She looked at me with disappointed eyes. Understandably so! I hadn’t bothered to go below the surface. To read about it on my own. I had just soaked in some distant fumes off the story. “Read it,” she said, and pushed the book into my hands. That night I opened A Million Little Pieces and was completely pulled into this pulsing, frenetic, endlessly climactic story of addiction, growth, and finding yourself. The book shook me. It was a masterpiece. I couldn’t believe it existed. I almost felt anger towards the Oprah saga because it headfaked me into thinking I knew what the book was about… when I couldn’t have been more off. I went deeper into James Frey’s catalogue and found myself similarly seduced by books like Bright Shiny Morning and Katerina. His stories have a pace and staccato to them that’s perfect for distracted brains like mine. He doesn’t mince words, he doesn’t shy away, and his characters always punch you in the gut. I sat down with James with a lot of questions and I loved our discussions around fatherhood and living an intentional life. We talk about teaching children to read, the importance of secular bibles, and why (and how) we can slowly stop comparing ourselves to others. We talk about critics and he shares an incredible story on what true pain really is. (Hint: It’s not getting yelled at on TV.) We explore what getting drunk really means and talk about how to step outside and learn to fall in love with whatever you see. I hope you enjoy Chapter 25 of 3 Books with James Frey. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: How can ‘getting drunk’ help you enjoy life more? How do we avoid comparing ourselves to others in the age of social media? Why should writers focus less on following rules and expectations of the literary world? How can we learn to live more in alignment with our morals and what we think is right? How can different activities be forms of meditation? How do we learn to accept ourselves? Leave us a voicemail! Your message may be included in a future episode: 1-833-READ-A-LOT.

Jesse holds a Master of Publishing from Simon Fraser University and a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from McGill University. Chapter Description:  Have you ever found something you love doing but one tiny part of it you hate? You love the company, the job, the values, the people … but hate your boss. You love the school you teach at, the kids, the classroom … but can’t stand the commute. We encounter these decisions all the time. You love something but you just can’t deal with this little part of it. Enter Jesse Finkelstein, co-founder and principal of Page Two Publishing, a premium author-centric publishing house. Why did I bring up the deal-breaker conundrum? Because Jesse always felt this way about the publishing industry. She went up through the ranks at the big publishing companies, all the way to COO at D&M Publishing. But she kept asking herself: What if there was a publishing company that put the author’s goals first? So Jesse created Page Two, which sits somewhere in between self-publishing and traditional publishing. Page 2 takes an author’s idea, looks at whether it has market potential, and then supplies the author with all the tools a big publishing house would: editors, copy-editors, graphic designers, distribution channels, everything. In Chapter 23 of 3 Books, Jesse and I go deep into how the publishing landscape is evolving … and then we dive into her three most formative books. We discuss how acclaimed political writers can actually not be political enough, how books can get over-edited, the Harlem Renaissance, and how reading acts as therapy, and much, much more… I absolutely loved listening to Jesse and think you will, too.

What are the most important steps to take when publishing a book? How have self-published books radically changed over the past decade? How did the Harlem Renaissance affect book publishing, particularly for black authors? How has poetry transformed over the past century and why is it resurfacing again? What makes a book accessible to readers and how do writers tap into that? What book can help us learn from trauma and look past it with a fresh perspective? Leave us a voicemail!

Tim Urban, known for his blog Wait But Why, discusses his most formative books. They explore breaking norms in creative work, parenting strategies, separating art from the artist, and balancing familiarity with innovation in content creation. The conversation also touches on historical events, traveling adventures, and the importance of impactful literature.

Were you one of the sixty million people who grew up reading Franklin The Turtle? We were handed a dog-eared stack of them when my first son was born. As my wife and I flipped through them, we couldn’t help but just buy into the whole Franklin universe. There’s Beaver and Bear and Fox and good values and good parenting and good life lessons all delivered in a way that super appetizing for children… and their parents. So I expected Paulette to choose, you know, three children’s books for her three most formative books. But she couldn’t have surprised me more with her picks. (Spoiler alert: Chapter 21 contains the first ever horror book on The Top 1000.) Now, who is Paulette? Well, she studied journalism at Carleton University in Ottawa. She used to be a reporter for CBC News. She lived in Washington, DC while writing for magazines like Reader’s Digest and Chatelaine. And she’s the incredible mother of two children who inspire her to be intentional as a parent and family leader. How do we raise intentional children? What does ADD feel like inside your brain? How can we turn anger into empathy? We get into these questions and many more in Chapter 21 of 3 Books. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Do we all have ‘dark sides’ within us despite how seemingly normal our lives appear? Why is it so important right now to find your voice? How can we teach and encourage children to speak up and fight for what’s right? How can we pass on our core values through generations? What new book idea did Paulette come up with during our podcast? How can we inspire children to look at all sides and come up with alternative explanations? How can we best support people with ADHD?
