How My DORKY, Hot BF Quit Doomscrolling - 200-Page Book Club - Kukum by Michel Jean

Our guest today claims he's winning the war against nighttime doomscrolling. If you also want to win this war, he has a simple rule: read seven pages a night. Promises include better sleep, deeper conversations with your dogs, a sexier vocabulary, and more.

Introducing the 200-Page Book Club! If you’re one of those people who can’t remember the last time you’ve finished a book, there is hope!

Step one: We’ll pick a book that is 200 pages or less.

Step two: Read seven pages of this book every day.

One month later: You have finished a book!

And for our inaugural pick of the 200-Page Book Club, we have KUKUM by Michel Jean. It’s a novel set in rural, Indigenous Quebec more than 100 years ago, yet its themes feel surprisingly familiar in an era when Big Tech Companies are reshaping our work, our communities, and even our childhoods without asking for our input.

Spoiler Alert: There are no spoilers, but you may not be surprised by certain historical events. And listen to the end for a listener questioner from Stressed and Enmeshed, our poster child for the helicopter-parented generation.
