“There's a book back there called Of Wolves and Men by Barry Lopez who won I believe it was the Booker or Pulitzer Prize for another of his books called Arctic Dreams.”
“Of Wolves and Men is one of the best non-fiction books I've ever read and it really shattered the mold. It redefined what let's just call it non-fiction nature writing could be.

Also an incredibly accurate and enjoyable warts and all ride through the US, right? What a quirky weird ass country. So, that's another one. Pretty fast read. And then there are entire shelves back there related to animal tracking and so on because I've done a bunch of that. I don't think most of you should probably spend a lot of time on that. If you haven't read I'll simplify the title here. Alice in Wonderland. You should go read Alice in Wonderland. Read the whole thing just quotes from it. I have a collector's edition back there. And then there are a few actually that I was going to mention for one of the questions you guys submitted or as an answer. the 8020 principle, Richard Kosh.”

“And then maybe last but not least, it's been a long time since I read it, but the blue ocean strategy probably worth checking out”
“I would be biased towards people who have been doing this since before Michael Pollen's exceptional book how to change your mind”
“But the books that I have found most helpful are Don't Shoot the Dog by Karen Prior.”
