Ask Rahul! Books I Read
Books I Read is a reflective podcast where chef and creator Rahul Shrivastava talks through the books that shape his thinking about work, life, food, leadership and creativity. Each episode focuses on one book and one big idea, moving from a quick overview into the stories, lines and questions that stayed with him.
This is not a summary podcast. Instead, Rahul connects each book to real decisions, habits and challenges—from building a career in food and media, to parenting, productivity and personal growth—so listeners can decide whether to read it and how to apply its ideas. Whether you are a busy professional, a student, or a curious reader looking for your next meaningful read, Books I Read gives you calm conversation, clear takeaways and a gentle push to think deeper.
