This book by Safi Bahcall came up once on Diary of a CEO in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Evan Spiegel. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“there's a great book called Loonshots which I really love that actually gets at this issue directly”— Evan Spiegel
