This is one of those videos that you can go back to over and over. Makes a great check list if you are working on a project,
Not my usual type of reading subject, but SF makes everything interesting. I'm reading the book and hearing his voice when I do so.
I can’t believe this video hasn’t received more engagement-its information is incredibly direct and helpful, and the delivery is engaging. Fantastic job, thank you for sharing this video!
I think you are right. If it was showing up in more broad searches on the topic, if he was better known, it would have many thousands of views.
Great explanation of technique. We need more useful videos like this one. Thanks, Samin.
We're proud of having an author like him ❤️ he has an exceptionally enchanting power to scribble the reality in such a tremendous way ❤️
brilliant book. Well worth the read. Little side note. Try and count how many times he blinks in this video.....i dare you.

Ah, great work! Just ordered your book. Love to talk with you about the Lament for Art O'Leary. Doing some research on the Irish lament and women's cry for justice.
Awesome book and awesome narrator.
Love to hear her read it all.
I guess Eblin is to you as David is to me. How you haunt each other. Interesting way to phrase it. You're the girl with dark hair and bitten nails. That's really neat. Thank you for sharing.
Plz send me link
How to use in my shoowroom
You are very sweet. I wish you well.
Oh, Stephen, thank you for those words from your heart. I understand that there are many sources of Greek information. But you, dear, choose the “right” information and then put your own hilarious spin on it, where, while we’re listening and hearing, we’re also learning. I find that if I receive information and knowledge in that vein, I retain so much more. You’re such a treasure to us, dear. My love to you...always😊🧡
🤩. I’ll be more cognizant about when I’m salting and what I’m after. Thank you
This is the predecessor to Adam and Eve, temptation of doing what your told not to do!

The lesson is dont cook your vegetables in oil. Much healthier to grill or steam them.

Cressida is such an adorable woman. She always sounds like she's having so much fun writing the worlds and stories in her books. I can't wait to read her next book! :D

She is a nobel person with a good heart and would love to read her book.
Wow, love this book trailer thank you...
Way through my third part, n each one till now is a gem.. Deeply moving, heartbreaking
Your books will help a lot of people, I can relate to everything you spoke about, especially in "THE NERVOUS PLANET". And I read a lot about melancholic authors, Soren Kierkegaard has influence me, and lately I have been doing a study on a simple famous poem by Robert frost "THE ROAD NOT TAKEN" and it have been helping to become a better person. I personally believe that, most works that has to do with mental health, are always ignored in the beginning, example, people despised Soren Kierkegaard works while he was alive, until they where discovered later after so many years, when Soren was already dead, as a result Soren Kierkegaard achieve posthumous fame "and today is known as the most self conscious person ever lived" I believe mental health books have a tendency of helping people and influencing lifes from generation to generation, and I do believe that your works will go a long way, though it doesn't look like that for now.
