Seems that James Clear who wrote Atomic Habits, also endorses it. <br /> <br /> Might be a good Fastlane book review option, although I really need pick up my progress on the latter.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">The 12 Week Year, and absolutely loving it! It ties in nicely with my system, and really helps to refine my days.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Just completed &quot;The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company&quot; - by Robert Iger.<br /> <br /> Pretty interesting. Am planning to re-read it. Definitely worth it.<br /> <br /> Now am reading <br /> <script class="js-extraPhrases" type="application/json"> { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded.

It is really crazy. The author created a school using an alternative approach of teaching. So far it is pretty great! I recommend it to any parents.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Shoe Dog by Phil Knight (audible version)<br /> <br /> I&#039;m about 2/3 done, and absolutely love this book so far. Phil is a very engaging storyteller, and I think there are some great lessons to be learned from him.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Loving this book...<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0525533583/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="noopener">https://www.amazon.com/dp/0525533583/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20</a><br /> <br /> While it has a lot of info I already knew, it really hammers it home.<br /> <br /> Written by the founder of DuckDuckGo and his wife who is a statistician.<br /> <br /> It will be a Giveaway at the Summit as well.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Just finished The 48 Laws of Power and now reading (well, listening) to The Climate Casino. It&#039;s a book about climate change and the political and economics aspects of it. William Nordhaus tries to stay grounded in reality, dispelling myths from the &quot;We&#039;re all dead in 12 years&quot; people and the &quot;Global warming is a hoax&quot; people.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I just finished this book. . I recommend every men read it especially if you are young like me. No its not about picking up girls or a guide to be a F*ck boy. (Even though you can by using the material in the book) Its about how to be a real man in every aspects in life. Even if you think your all set when it comes to women think again. This book really dives in into what we do wrong and how to fix it. I personally realize how much of a idiot i been when it comes to girls. But im glad i read it because applying this information already gave me good results. This book and MFL are definitely guides we should all follow.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Edison by Edmund Morris<br /> <br /> He could get by on little sleep, and had his finger in multiple domains (light bulbs, electricity &amp; electrical grids &amp; batteries, chemistry, telegraphy, sound &amp; image storage &amp; reproduction, mining, cement production, &amp; on &amp; on). Yet he was basically an absent spouse &amp; parent, would probably be consindered on the autism spectrum, and usually strapped for cash despite the income from his numerous companies &amp; patents. Lots of lessons.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I just finished Ultralearning. <br /> <br /> Excellent take on learning new skills by doing, rather than following a conventional approach. <br /> <br /> More importantly for me was the realization that I had stagnated as a function of not challenging myself enough. I&#039;ve since started on a simple ultralearning project, which is to learn how to draw trees. I&#039;ve spent maybe 30-45mins a night several times a week practicing drawing trees. It&#039;s very meditative but also fascinating to watch my progress as I improve and I shatter mental barriers about my own abilities.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Currently reading <b>12 Rules for Life</b> by Jordan B. Peterson. Deep book, worth reading in my opinion.</div>
