[Kenneth C. Davis: what’s coming up]: Amazing story of how learning something new can profoundly change your life Ep 1157
Manage episode 449057813 series 3378197
Welcome to the final installment of my talk with historian Kenneth C. Davis, New York Times bestselling author of “America’s Hidden History,” “Don’t Know Much About History,” a whole series of “Don’t Know Much About” books. As part of his mission to get more people to read more books, Kenneth has just published THE WORLD IN BOOKS: 52 Works of Great Short Nonfiction – a curated journey through fifty-two of the most significant short nonfiction works ever penned, from ancient times to the present day.
We talked about:
- What determines whether Ken has had a good day or a bad day
- Learning Italian with his wife, and the many, many doors it has opened in their lives
- The well-known historical author who taught Ken that history is about humanity, and not just dates and battles
- Why Italy plays such a big role in his plans for the future
- The HBO series he and his wife can’t stop binge watching
- Ken’s recipe for the perfect cup of coffee (Italian roast, of course)
