ReThinking · Creative anxiety, self-doubt, and procrastination with Fredrik Backman · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

Frederick has written 11 books, including eight novels. matched

His latest novel is called My Friends, but he's still very much sorting through what to do with his success. matched

Why? matched

So what why did you start? matched
