This book by Charles Taylor 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: Yuval Noah Harari. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
