The Books That Make Us

Announcing the People Who Make Us Book Club with Jonny Thyne and Kira Leclair. In this episode of 'The People Who Make Us,' host Jonny Thyne announces the launch of the 'People Who Make Us Book Club,' co-hosted with his cousin Kira. Each month a new book will be announced for listeners to read with a discussion on the following episode. Jonny and Kira begin by sharing their top five most impactful books, from poignant tales like 'Demon Copperhead' and 'Know My Name,' to childhood favorites such as 'Where the Red Fern Grows.' They also discuss their least favorite reads, authors they consistently follow, and their favorite book characters. The first book for their book club is 'Man's Search for Meaning' by Viktor Frankl, inspired by previous podcast guest Billy Cundiff and others. Listeners are encouraged to read along and potentially join the discussion in the next month's episode. The hosts conclude by expressing their excitement for this new, interactive journey.Jonny's Instagram: @jonnythyneKira's Instagram: @kiraleclair00:00 Introduction and Exciting Announcement01:18 Meet Kira: Co-Host and Cousin03:39 Kira's Top 5 Books16:38 Jonny's Top 5 Books24:26 Impact of 'Eat, Pray, Love' on My Life28:03 Exploring 'A New Earth' by Eckhart Tolle29:49 Dissecting 'Bunny' by Mona Awad32:23 The Secret History: A Love-Hate Relationship36:36 Favorite Authors and Their Works44:18 Announcing Our First Book Club Book48:58 Conclusion
