Hey there!

It's Sunday, which means that it's time for an email packed with some great content, just for you.

What I've Made for You

Here are my book notes:

Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done by Jon Acruff

Jon wrote a great book. He mixed great advice with humor, which made it both interesting and easy to read. The book provides a new (and better) way of thinking about your goals.

Tao Te Ching by Lao-Tzu

I read the John Minford translation. It was an enjoyable read. I skipped the commentary most of the time, though. I would rather read it myself, and seek commentary if I wanted to expand upon some parts.

Seeking Wisdom: From Darwin to Munger by Peter Bevelin

It certainly lives up to the name.

You don't need a mentor.

Often, those who say that you do are conveniently selling their services at the same time.

Most of the wisest people who have ever walked the planet are dead. But they left us some of their knowledge. You can read it. Learn from them. It's out there.

Putting in your reps is essential.

Whether it's in the gym or in the books.

“Do the thing and you will have the power.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Some of the best books I've read are some of those I least expected to be good.

Sometimes, you just have to start reading.

If you like it, great. If you don't, then stop. Simple as that.

Remember that inaction is still an action.

Not choosing is still a choice.

Sometimes, doing nothing is more harmful than doing something.

"The best SoldierIs not Warlike.The best WarriorNever fightsOut of Wrath.The best VictoryDoes not Engage the Enemy."Lao-Tzu in Tao Te Ching

To your success. Regards,
