Happy Snow Moon, everybody!

\\xa0

I\'ve been thinking a lot again about what makes life important.

\\xa0

I\'m convinced it\'s just not social media. News media. The endless firehose of negativity being blasted at our brains out there. No. It\'s not that. It\'s the curtains we pull around ourselves and our loved ones to create and hold space to be our truest selves.

\\xa0

We\\u2019ve only got 30,000 days here and they are always, always, always fleeting. So let\'s make sure on 3 Books we create and hold space to talk about and celebrate what makes life sweet. Let\'s always plumb into the depths of inspiring and stimulating characters and people who share their wisdom with us and feel like good company on our path.

To mark the Snow Moon we are going to be sharing company today with Timothy Goodman, one of the most open hearted, vulnerable, and artistic souls I think we\'ve ever had on the show. How can I introduce you to him? Well, if you have this month\\u2019s issue of Time magazine Timothy drew the cover! If you live in New York City and saw a garbage truck drive by covered in doodles, that\\u2019s Timothy Goodman! If you hang out in trendy NYC hotels, Timothy Goodman has done art in the lobbies! He\\u2019s created art for the likes of Nike, Apple, Google, MOMA, Netflix, Tiffany, Samsung, Target, The New Yorker and The New York Times.

Timothy Goodman is the author of Sharpie Art Worksop and the co-creator of several social experiments including the viral blog and book, 40 Days of Dating. His first solo gallery exhibition, I\\u2019m Too Young To Not Set My Life on Fire was on view in Manhattan last year. And he just designed shoes for Kevin Durant -- the KD15! -- even though he\\u2019s a Knicks fan, as you\'ll hear.

\\xa0

Timothy has a brand new graphic memoir out called I Always Think It\'s Forever which talks about the year he spent travelling and falling in love. He has a wonderful way of writing -- like hiphop lyrics -- with endlessly stimulating braids of rhyme and design.

\\xa0

We are going to talk 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, the incredible Timothy Goodman\\u2019s 3 most formative books.
