By Malcolm Gladwell My quick notes: When I saw this book, I wasn’t sure I was going to read it. I’m a fan of Gladwell, but wasn’t so sure of this topic (It’s different from his other books IMO). BUT, and a strong but, I’m really glad I decided to dive in. It’s a [...]

Fortitude

2022-03-27T13:19:14-04:00

By Dan Crenshaw My quick notes: Dan Crenshaw was brought into my awareness when he was the butt of an SNL skit. Little by little his name would pop up in podcasts I'd listen to and conversations I'd have. A few solid recommendations had me buy and study the book. It's a great manual [...]

The Ride of Our Lives

2022-03-27T13:45:11-04:00

By John Gronski My quick notes: Boy, this was a fun and inspiring read. Fun in that the book flows well (I read it in one afternoon sitting), and inspiring in that author John and his wife, Berti, biked 4,000 miles across the USA with their fifteen month old son. It's a story of [...]

The Code. The Evaluation. The Protocols.

2022-03-27T14:18:28-04:00

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 [...]

Grateful American

2022-03-28T03:39:18-04:00

By Gary Sinise My quick notes: You watch a movie and see an actor as a character in that movie. You can often forget (I do, anyway) that they're real people with lives outside of acting. Gary Sinise is not just Lt. Dan. He's a man with a vision to fight for better lives [...]
