This book by Jorge Luis Borges 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: L.A. Paul. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
Fantastical tales of mazes, puzzles, lost labyrinths and bookish mysteries, from the unique imagination of a literary magician.
“The Garden of Forking Paths is an excellent one if we're talking about possibilities. The Garden of Forking Paths is like it's a beautiful one.”— L.A. Paul
The guest here is L.A. Paul: Yale philosopher working in metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of science; author of Transformative Experience, known for the 'transformative experience' framework about decisions like having children. Philosopher L.A. Paul explains why life-changing decisions like having kids can't be calculated rationally, and which books unlock philosophy.
