Hey everyone,

Looking forward to getting this group started with the purpose of sharing and exploring book recommendations from the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Whether you are a longtime listener or have only seen clips on YouTube or Instagram, this group is a space to dive a little deeper into the wide variety of reading recommendations from the podcast. Feel free to share your thoughts, insights, or recommendations.

To get started:

� How did you discover the podcast?
� What has been your favorite book recommendation from the podcast?

I’ll kick things off:

I’ve always known about Joe Rogan, first from “Fear Factor,� and then later because of his outspoken advocacy for the merits of cannabis. I don’t remember exactly how or why I first started listening to the podcast, but I do remember the first episode I listened to—it was Graham Hancock discussing his book, “America Before.� It was a fascinating episode introducing new ideas that I had heard before.

Hello RPR,
Thanks for making this group. Sorry it took me a while to get my account verified and leave a comment here.
What did you learn from the boom America Before? Would you recommend it to someone who isn’t American like myself?

Anyways, I couldn’t remember exactly how or which episode I first saw Joe Rogan’s podcast, but I remember the feeling. It was like reading something that is totally alien to me - his (and the guest) had exposed things that I never knew of.

For someone who enjoys learning, the podcasts really are some sort of audiobooks (full of opinions, arguments, facts, and jokes too!) but with multiple authors on tonsss of different topics.

The book that I had picked up from one of his episodes is Dopamine Nation and I absolutely am grateful for it. Like most of my generations (20ish), we all are facing addictions today worse than ever. For me it was mostly video games, social media and endless entertainment. Thanks to the book (and JRE for mentioning it), I am doing a lot better now. Instead of 6 hours of screen time daily, I have managed to cut it down by a lot, giving me the time and mental space to experience life better with other activities other than those addictions. I now have the ability to say no to my vices (not all the time obviously) allowing me to say yes to more beneficial activities- reading, hiking and spending time with people!

I would absolutely recommend America Before to anyone—regardless of where you're from. One of the things I really appreciated is how the author uses the term America to refer to the entire North and South American continents, not just the United States. The book dives into both new and old archaeological discoveries and suggests that there’s much more to the story of these ancient civilizations than we’ve been taught.

As for the podcast—completely agree. It feels like reading a book in audio form, with so many fresh ideas and diverse perspectives. I especially enjoy the episodes where the host steps back and really lets the guest take the floor, sharing their expertise without interruption. It creates space for deep, engaging conversations that stick with you long after listening.
