By Boyd Varty My quick notes: I was introduced to this book by my friend and fellow UFC fighter turned podcaster Kyle Kingsbury. It's exactly what it says it is, a lion tracker's guide to life. Boyd uses his personal experience growing up in South Africa tracking lions to teach us much about living [...]

By Douglas Preston My quick notes: I came across this book by way of "The Devil in the White City." They have a similar feel: travel, mystery, intrigue, wonder, adventure. Author Douglas Preston takes us on a ride to South America to uncover a lost city in Honduras. As a former Spanish teacher who [...]

By Michael A. Singer My quick notes: The thought of this book puts me in a dimly lit room, incense burning, calming music playing; it provides a sense of peace. It is definitely a spiritual book, but not too spiritual for me (but on my upper limits of connectability). It hit me perfectly at [...]

By Lesa Cline-Ransome My quick notes: This is an educational and inspiring read that covers the life of NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson. It's a story of hard work, determination, curiosity, learning and more. As a teacher of sorts, I do my best to instill in young people having a dream and working towards it. [...]

By Heather Morris My quick notes: What an incredible book. While difficult to read at times due to its subject matter, I believe books like this make us better, more aware, more empathetic people. This is a love story based on real people during the Holocaust. Both heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time. [...]

By Erik Larson My quick notes: Hollllly smokes this book was awesome. Mystery, adventure, culture, history and so much more. It's so well wrapped together and deep with learning. A new genre to me (historical non-fiction), it combines a historical event (World's Fair in 1893) and real-life drama (murder) to create an entertaining and [...]

By Jocko Willinck My quick notes: Short, sweet and to the point. You'll breeze through this manual in an hour or two. But not without an arsenal of action. Just like the author, this book is a how-to for discipline and action. View on Amazon Podcasts Listen [...]

By Suzanne Lang My quick notes: I lol'd almost the entire time I read this to my kids. I felt like the author was writing about me, to me! My wife was in the background with a reaffirming smirk on her face. A really fun read for young and old, it'll remind you to [...]

By Sally Jenkins My quick notes: One of my favorite topics to read and learn about, this is another great Native American book. It's centered on the Carlisle Indian School's football team, and it's full of American history as well. This is a topic I feel deeply connected to, as I think it's so [...]

By Donald Miller My quick notes: This book is more business-centric than most books I read, but it came to me at the right time. COVID had just hit us, and I needed to learn how to evolve and grow my business. Storybrand helped me during that process. And it's not only related to [...]
