Name-Place-Animal-Thing with Lux Narayan

The Filter Koffee Podcast

In this episode, Karthik speaks with Lux Narayan about his book - Name Place Animal Thing. Lux is a serial entrepreneur, a Ted Speaker, stand-up comedian, and pursuer of multiple other passions that range from flying to molecular gastronomy. NPAT is an inspiring fable about hope, positivity, and living your best life. It is a practical guide to answering the ultimate question: “So, what do you do?”.
Karthik and Lux speak about the latter's personal journey leading up to this first book and the various inspirations that made to its pages. They also talk about the unique narrative style of the book - non-fiction told as a fable, how Lux is able to manage time between his many passions, his quests of understanding the first principles of things, and how he lives a life without wearing masks (metaphorical that is!).
