All Books of 2017 (each described in 1 sentence)

April 4, 2018 by Tony Francisco Leave a Comment

The one-sentence book summary is something that I learned from Ryan Holiday. His post on 42 books that will make you a better person used the technique to provide stratagems into some of the most important books he has ever read.

Using just one sentence to clearly convey the most important message of a book is a tough task. It is not always the thesis or the major point, sometimes it is a small detail that makes the biggest impact.

Either way, it required me to deeply reflect on each book from this past year. [Read more…]

Outwork Book Club: Unlimited Power

April 1, 2018 by Tony Francisco Leave a Comment

Posts for the Outwork Book Club will be continuous; I will post updates as I work through each book. Eventually, I will encourage readers to follow along with me and add any insight or pose questions about the central themes of the book. This is what we call a living document; mostly because it doesn’t immediately die as soon as it becomes published like everything else.  It is something that is continuously updated and changed overtime to reflect the newest information

TALENT IS OVERRATED

by Geoff Colvin | Link to book

Where does great performance come from?

Many would say that great performers are gifted with “talent”— a form of innate skill possessed from childhood that enables these great performers to truly excel.

The talent myth is just that: a myth. Colvin’s work truly aims to dispel the lie about talent and instead charters a more realistic path to greatness — one that involves a concept called deliberate practice and a lot of time spent working on a skill.

Dan John Recommended Reading List

September 24, 2017 by Tony Francisco Leave a Comment

Dan John (website) is the quintessential academic strongman. He exemplifies the idea of being strong and smart, with the unique ability to write about his endeavors in a meaningful way.

His books are easy to read, yet packed full of quality information. Despite his academic background as a Fulbright Scholar and university professor, he writes like a best friend’s letter. When you read his advice, you almost feel like he is speaking directly to you. He doesn’t cite research studies but often talks about how he discovered these ideas in the early 1970s, giving him over 30 years of empirical evidence. He also competes as an Olympic Weightlifter, Highland Games athlete, and discus thrower, giving him the insights of a performer and not just an observer.

Fitness writers are rarely able to provide such unique perspectives. [Read more…]

How do you live a good life? Or even, how do you live?

These are the kind of questions that philosophers have been pondering for more than 20,000 years. It’s crazy to look back into history, questioning the different philosophies of how a man should spend is mortal life. Sometimes, it is already decided, and you would grow up to become whatever fate has handed you. Whether as a slave, a Soldier, or a craftsman forged to become what you must. [Read more…]
