Ep 223: You Only Die Once (a conversation about living with Jodi Wellman)
Jodi Wellman is focused on death. And she wants you to think about it more, too.
Death is (clearly) not a popular topic, and something most of us avoid thinking about at all costs. But Jodi believes that knowing you have something to lose can help you live like you mean it. Her new book You Only Die Once: How To Make It To The End With No Regrets can walk you through making the most of your time on this earth.
In this episode, author and speaker Jodi Wellman shares 5 ways to live like you're dying:
Count your Mondays (quantifying your time can be remarkably clarifying)
Diagnose the dead zones (areas in life that feel dead inside)
Identify your deathbed pre-grets (regrets-in-the-making that can still be course-corrected)
Live wider (with vitality) and deeper (with meaning): identify a list of enlivening endeavors
Pick one small thing to take action on at a time

BONUS: 5 Things About Modern Friendship (with Anna Goldfarb)
Obviously friendship is a big topic around here, but one of the aspects we don't touch on much is how these important relationships have changed in modern culture. We now have hundreds of connections in our daily lives, where our ancestors probably never met that many people in their entire lifetime.
Friendship writer Anna Goldfarb brings us 5 Things to think about in our modern friendships that she expounds upon in her new book Modern Friendship: How To Nurture Our Most Valued Connections.
Called “the New York Times’ friendship correspondent,” Anna Goldfarb's reporting on friendships has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, TIME , Vox, and more.

In this episode I'm sharing my personal favorites, what I would recommend if you don't like scary/horror (because there are plenty to choose from!), what I recommend for teenagers, and which Stephen King books I would never recommend you start with (even though they're popular).

BONUS: Is Everyone Happier Than Me? (4 Ways To Be Happier Online with author Sarah Bragg)
It's a question we've all asked ourselves at some point....Is everyone happier than me?
A relatable thought made worse by the perfection of social media and knowledge that life could go take us on a hundred different paths. Did we choose the right one?
It's also the title of Sarah Bragg's new book, where she explores this topic with essays and stories from her own life and parenthood.
In this episode, Sarah gives us 4 ways to be happier online (since that's such a huge contributing factor to this question).
I loved this conversation with Sarah and know I'm not the only one kept awake at night with comparison and curiosity.

Stephen King Summer is HERE!
My 4th annual book club dedicated to my favorite author (and the greatest living storyteller) is HERE!
Stephen King Summer 2024 officially starts June 2 but you can jump in at any time over the next three months to join us for two movie watch-a-longs and three books.
We're READING:
'Salem's Lot
King's second novel was originally published in 1975 and this is a vampire story.
You Like It Darker
This is King's latest collection of short stories that just published in May 2024. We will read one or two stories to discuss (this is perfect for those King-curious who don't want to commit to the novels).
11/22/63
One of my favorite novels of all time, this book is not scary and will let you into King's master storytelling without having to endure the horror.
We're WATCHING:
Firestarter
The Mist
