This book by Carl Trueman came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Ben Shapiro. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“there's a great book by Carl Trueman called Rise and Triumph for the Modern Self, which I think is the best book in the last 10 years”— Ben Shapiro
