I'm Rufus Griskom, and this is a special episode of the Next Big Idea. Okay, so why is this a Special episode. Well, today we're counting down the best nonfiction books of spring and revealing the one that we're going to send to next big idea club members just next week. I've got my colleague Panio here to help.
Hey, Panio. Hey, Rufus. So Panio, you're in charge of this really rigorous process where we look at dozens of new books. Hundreds. Hundreds of new books.
What are we looking for? Well, we're looking for books that really earn people's time. That usually means they're grounded in solid research, they have a genuinely fresh idea, and they're well written. Out of all those books, a handful rose to the top. Let's talk about the ones that that almost made it.
We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript (37 minutes, 6,593 words), segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.
No account needed, we create one from your checkout email. With credits it is 1 credit; packs start at 5 episodes for $3.49, and monthly plans are cheaper still.
