This book by Thomas Nagel 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.
“I think Thomas Nagel's work is really really great. The View from Nowhere is a is a beautiful book. That might be a place to go.”— 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.
