It\\u2019s the person who just dropped their phone on the bus right when the driver hit the gas and now the phone\\u2019s sliding across the sandy floor all the way to the back\\u2026 Neil. Neil Pasricha. And now it is finally time for our much-anticipated 3 Books chapter with the one and only ... Alie Ward.

\\xa0

Alie is the Sacramento-raised youngest of 3 girls who grew up in the 80s listening to DadWard deliver the morning news from the local radio station. She spent her childhood playing with bugs and just being told by her parents, \\u201cCome back by sundown and don\\u2019t get tetanus.\\u201d

\\xa0

Alie fell in love with science and studied science and film in college. An unlikely but prophetic mix. She went on to win an Emmy for being CBS\\u2019s correspondent for Henry Ford\\u2019s Innovation Nation with Mo Rocco and was a host for Did I Mention Invention? on CW. She\\u2019s a consulting producer for the Barack and Michelle Obama-produced Netflix show Ada Twist Scientist and appears in the Netflix science series Brainchild and the science channel\\u2019s How to Build Everything.\\xa0

\\xa0

BUT THAT\'S NOT ALL! The piece de resistance of her science-and-performing ways is, of course, her jaw-droppingly great podcast, Ologies. Everybody I\'ve suggested this podcast to just loves it. There\'s a reason it\'s the number one science podcast in the world! What are ... ologies? There are so many! There\\u2019s Myrmecology which is about ants, there\\u2019s Scorpiology which is about scorpions, there\\u2019s Etymology\\xa0which is about word origins and, of course, there\'s one on Awesomeology about gratitude and happiness starring yours truly.\\xa0

\\xa0

Now it\\u2019s time to pull up your petrified stump and get ready to talk about: self-help books, starting a podcast, skunk predators, Life lists, Cervidology, infectious energy, confidence versus arrogance, visioning, the Gal\\xe1pagos Islands, fostering community, building trust, formative books and much, much more...
