June Resource Roundup 📚
What to read, listen to, and watch, in one place.
Here’s the next monthly Resource Roundup — the best of what I’ve been listening to, reading, and watching in June.
I hope there’s something here that sparks your curiosity. If you’re in the U.S., enjoy the long weekend. 🍒
In case you missed it.
We’re all busy and a lot to read, so…
Here’s a roundup of what I shared on Business/Women on the four Wednesdays in June:
📚 Three books currently on deck.
”Take Back Your Brain: How a Sexist Society Gets in Your Head—and How to Get It Out” — audiobook narrated by author Kara Loewentheil
“Don’t Believe Everything You Think: Why Your Thinking Is The Beginning & End Of Suffering” — by Joseph Nguyen
“Blue Ruin: A Novel” — by Hari Kunzru
📝 Worth reading.
“Selfish Vocations: How pursuing your dreams serves humanity”— by Joel Uili (“Your unique vocation matters more than you think.”)
“Everyone Is Using A.I. for Everything. Is That Bad? Either way, let’s not be in denial about it.” — by By Kevin Roose and Casey Newton, hosts of The Times “Hard Fork” podcast (“A Very Smart Assistant Who Is Also High on Ketamine”) - gift link
“What I learned from losing my voice” — by Ozan Varol (“What is this trying to tell me?”

This moment is your moment. This brief period is your time on earth. The only thing you have a say over is how you spend it, who you are inside it. You make your own luck in that sense. So don’t curse these crazy times. Make something of them. While you still can.”
🎧 Worth listening to.
“Pricing Your Service Offers for Profitability” - a short (5-minute!) audio masterclass available on Spotify and made possible by The Playhouse (the collective for online service provider.
