Wiser than Yesterday hosts open-ended discussions, breakdowns, and summaries of the world's most thought-provoking and inspiring books.
Our hosts, Nicolas Vereecke and Sam Harris digest non-fiction books from all centuries and genres. They discuss the biggest philosophical insights and practical lessons for health, wealth, wisdom, and happiness.
This podcast is here to help listeners become smarter. To learn about new ideas and to gain more perspectives on the books and ideas they are familiar with.
Each season we tackle a new field and read the best books on a given topic such as racism, startups, stoicism, or personal finance. We cast a wide net to summarise all sides of opinions in an area to come to a wider understanding of the topic at large as well as help listeners navigate the different opinions and ideas they haven't heard of.
We dive into topics such as philosophy, business, equality, psychology, politics, economics, and who knows what else. Our goal is to simply explore the best ideas and learn new things. You're most welcome to join us for the ride.

How to have difficult conversations, for meaningful change.
We break down Gina Martin's book addressing how to navigate some of the worst conversation-stoppers and poor thinking in our culture today.
It also features chapters from other widely recognized speakers on the topics of equality and diversity.
Labeled as "An empowering guide to navigating difficult conversations from climate naysayers to the #notallmen brigade, featuring chapters from brilliant writers and activists like Cathy Reay, Ben Hurst, Salma El-Wardany, and many others."
Gina Martin is a gender equality activist, speaker, and writer whose work focuses on gender, misogyny, and sexual violence. She is a proud ambassador for UN Women UK and Beyond Equality.
We had conflicting opinions on the book that you'll have to listen to find out more.
