Life-Sparring Podcast - Round 17: David Siu - Food for Thought 2021

Before I started podcasting and Food for Thought became a regular book review segment in the shadowboxing solo podcasts, it was the title of an annual blog post introducing my top five books I read in the outgoing year.

I just published this year’s Food for Thought blog; it is the seventh consecutive year. But since 2021 was the year of the Life-Sparring podcast, it felt unavoidable not to record a Food for Thought Podcast special. 

To make the best of the audio/video format and to spice things a bit up, I invited a guest for this round, Hong Kong-based executive coach and friend of the show, David Siu. Together we discuss each of our top three books of the year and more generally about reading and life.

Books we are covering in the show:
Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Tell You Everything You Need to Know About Global Politics, by Tim Marshall
Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art, by Scott McCloud
Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, by Oliver Burkeman
The Premonition: A Pandemic Story, by Michael Lewis
A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John Irving
Trillion Dollar Coach: The Leadership Playbook of Silicon Valley's Bill Campbell, by Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenberg & Alan Eagle
