SHOW BACKGROUND:

3 Books is an award-winning podcast discussing life's biggest themes through the 3 most formative books of an inspiring guest. Past guests include: Brené Brown, David Sedaris, Malcolm Gladwell, Roxane Gay, Judy Blume, Quentin Tarantino, etc.


GUEST BACKGROUND:

To mark the Snow Moon we are going to be sharing company with Timothy Goodman, one of the most open hearted, vulnerable, and artistic souls we've ever had on the show. How can I introduce you to him? Well, if you have this month’s issue of TIME magazine, he drew the cover! If you live in New York City and saw a garbage truck drive by covered in doodles, that’s him! If you hang out in trendy NYC hotels, he’s done their lobbies! He’s created art for huge brands like Nike, Apple, Google, MOMA, Netflix, The New Yorker and The New York Times.

He is also the author of SHARPIE ART WORKSHOPS and the co-creator of several social experiments including the viral blog and book, 40 DAYS OF DATING. And he just designed shoes for Kevin Durant -- the KD15! -- even though he’s a Knicks fan, as you'll hear.

Timothy has a brand new graphic memoir called I ALWAYS THINK IT’S FOREVER which talks about the year he spent traveling and falling in love. He has a wonderful way of writing -- like hiphop lyrics -- with endlessly stimulating braids of rhyme and design.

We reached Timothy in New York and talked about: couples therapy, navigating stress, staying artistically fresh, prioritizing creativity, what it means to be a recovering misogynist, how to question our tropes about gender, mourning past versions of yourself, and of course, his 3 most formative books.

Please enjoy this wide-ranging and candid conversation with Timothy Goodman!
