This book by Will Durant came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Matt Mullenweg. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
"The final and most personal work from Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Will Durant--discovered thirty-two years after his death--is a message of insight for everyone who has sought meaning in life or the council of a wise friend in navigating life's journey ... [containing] twenty-two short chapters on everything from youth and old age, religion and morals, to sex, war, politics, and art"--Amazon.com.
“This is from Fallen Leaves, which is that posthumous book ... Isn't that beautiful? ... It's neat. It's on life.”— Matt Mullenweg
