If you read my recent Substack note, then you'll see that I've caught that second wind because I am putting this podcast together. It feels fitting, because this new episode is a deep dive into my April reading list—a month that was all about recovering from burnout and finding comfort. I handed my list over to two fantastic book enthusiasts to get their take, and the result was a truly fascinating conversation.
In this podcast, they explore the art of the "tactical reread," the sheer power of a full-cast audio production (and one particularly delicious-sounding voice actor), and how a book can act as the perfect palate cleanser. More than just a book list, this discussion turned into a masterclass on using reading for intentional self-care, and how different genres and formats can be chosen to manage your energy and mood.
If you’ve ever needed your reading to be more than just an escape, I think you'll find this one essential. So, how exactly can a book list become a roadmap to recovery? Click through to listen and find out.
