Books of JAN/FEB/MAR 2020

What I enjoy most about reading and writing is seeing commonality across disciplines.

Navy SEALs, billionaires, and stoic practitioners all talk about the same things — albeit through a different lens.

They also produce the same result: success.

Success cannot always be copied but the enablers, what it takes to become successful, can be.

There is a connection between the mental and physical.

Elite military and professional athletes channel it to produce almost superhuman efforts. Billionaires use it to create empires and it shines through in the philosophies of stoic wisdom.

No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable. – Socrates

If you cannot summarize what you read, you cannot take action on that information. Then what you read is useless.

The path to success is massive, determined action. – Tony Robbins

An Evening Dedicated to Your Brain

I recently attended an event in Hollywood with Jim Kwik of Kwik Brain, aptly called an evening dedicated to your brain.

Jim suffered from an injury growing up and was known as “the boy with the broken brain,” but has since conquered his limitations through reading and systematic thinking regarding the brain’s ability to learn and overcome.

He has been called upon by industry giants like Zappos, Nike, and Google to help increase the reading, thinking, and learning capabilities of their employees, which gives him credibility with some of the world’s highest performers.

The event was held in a dimly lit, hippie-ish Yoga studio, but was far from translucent. [Read more…]

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.
