Contented recommends…Japanese literature, life goals and a laugh at LinkedIn

It’s back! The team’s roundup of the gems we’re reading, listening to and laughing at this month.

In Fiction: Butter. This translated novel, by Asako Yuzuki, combines murder mystery with an exposé of misogynistic body shaming in the most delicious way possible. Expect to feel hungry and disgusted in equal measure.

In Podcasts: 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think. Brianna Wiest has gained renown for her deeply moving, philosophical writing. This new compilation features pieces on why you should pursue purpose over passion, embrace negative thinking, see the wisdom in daily routine, and become aware of the cognitive biases that are creating the way you see your life.

In Socials: @farrelhegarty on Instagram. Hilarious. If nothing else, just watch the reel on LinkedIn. You’ll be thrilled you did. 😉
