In this episode of Books That Changed My Life, host Chris "Bulldog" Collins is joined by actress, singer, and author Gina Gershon! Chris and Gina deep dive on Joseph Campbell's classic, The Hero With a Thousand Faces, talking myths, dreams, the hero's journey, and Campbell's blind spots.

Gina recalls challenging her mythology professor with a simple question: "where's the heroine's journey?" His answer, that she'd have to write it, led her on a decades-long journey to re-frame the myth.

Along the way, Chris and Gina dig into ego and the death of self, why the patriarchal hero myth is failing us, the Gisèle Pelicot trial, the artist Tracey Emin as a modern heroine, and the origin story of "alpha pussy," a mindset Gina developed from raising cats that saved her during the press tour for Showgirls.

In this episode of Books That Changed My Life, Chris "Bulldog" Collins is joined by actress and singer Laura Marano to discuss Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.

Laura opens up about growing up in LA, how she accidentally landed an agent at age 5 by tagging along to her sister's audition, and why rereading Outliers hit different while she was deciding to leave her record label and go independent.

From the 10,000 hour rule to the Matthew Effect, Laura unpacks why the book reframed success for her during the height of her Disney Channel years, and how it still shapes the way she thinks about talent, timing, and luck today.

Chris and Laura dig in to why we overpersonalize success, the difference between happiness and achievement, and the odd parallels between Gladwell's bestseller and Laura's latest film, Original Sound.

In this special New York episode of Books That Changed My Life, host Chris Collins is joined by Daredevil star Charlie Cox.

At 23, fresh off a lead role in a major studio film, Charlie found himself back in London, broke and anxious, riding the bus to theatre rehearsals. That's when his father gave him the book that changed everything: The Razor's Edge by Somerset Maugham. Charlie was captivated by Larry's journey; it felt like permission to live an unconventional life.

Chris and Charlie talk dyslexia, boarding school, travel, enlightenment, the artist's life, and more.

Charlie previews the season 2 finale of Deadpool: Born Again, forecasting a "big ending" with an incredible performance from Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin.
