Do I Need a “Brain Gym”? | Monday Advice

Deep Questions with Cal Newport, 15 June 2026. The book comes up at 47 min 54 sec in.

In passing comparison to Football, Cal Newport briefly characterises America's Game as a straight history of the NFL—'what is the history of the NFL? Like, how did this go?'—contrasting it with Klosterman's more esoteric, essay-driven approach. No author is named in the conversation.
