Goodbye, things
Fumio Sasaki is not an enlightened minimalism expert or organizing guru like Marie Kondo―he’s just a regular guy who was stressed out and constantly comparing himself to others, until one day he decided to change his life by saying goodbye to everything he didn’t absolutely need. The effects were remarkable: Sasaki gained true freedom, new […]
Happy Is the New Healthy: 31 Ways to Relax, Let Go, and Enjoy Life NOW
A short, simple, great book. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. And, again, I love when an author narrates. There were some good short stories, and some simple life lessons that may be right in front of your face, and you may not even know it. Being genuinely happy is one big goal of mine, and […]
The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down: How to Be Calm and Mindful in a Fast-Paced World
My mind tends to race. It’s hard to hone in my focus. I sometimes tell myself I need to slow down my thinking, but it’s easier said than done. I looked to this book to offer some guidance, and honestly, I was let down. This book seemed more like religious story telling to me. Next….
Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents
How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, of Self-Involved Parents. This book by Lindsay C. Gibson offers a ton of great advice whether YOU are the Immature Parent, or the Adult Child. I consider myself on both sides of this, raising two kids, and not seeing myself as fully mature, and also some of the topic […]
Unfuck Your Anger
A book by Author Faith G. Harper, who just so happens to be my Facebook friend, yes, shameless celebrity plug there. She is the author of all of the Unfuck series, such as Unfuck Your Grief, or Unfuck your Brain, Unfuck your Body, etc, etc. I’ve been feeling angry lately, and as my body is […]
The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
A great Robin Sharma title. I’m a big fan of his 5AM club, and the Monk Who Sold His Ferrari came before that book, but I found the FAC first. This book is about a man, a lawyer, who seemingly has the world by the balls, and then has medical issues that push his way […]
Things That Make White People Uncomfortable
Michael Bennett, Martellus Bennett’s brother, Seahawk’s Legion of Boom (though not in the secondary, he still deserves some credit) Defensive Lineman, Father, and Author, Things That Make Make White People Uncomfortable was an intensify satisfying listen. I had preconceived notions about this book being just a “hate on white people by a black guy” book, […]
Do Epic Shit
This was only a 1.5 hour Audible Original and received decent reviews, and I liked the title. An Indian named Ankur Warikoo is the author and narrator. He has great concepts in this book and there are some good key points, but the narrative was the same ole beat-a-dead-horse stuff. The one thing I took […]
The Book of Jose: A Memoir
Growing up with MTV and late 90’s to early 2000’s Rap, Hip-Hop, Pop and Country music, Fat Joe is a musician that is someone that my generation knows very well. From his hits What’s Luv?, Lean Back to recently All the way Up, Fat Joe has been making classics since I was a pre-teen. I […]
A whole week of progress washed down the tubes in a weekend.
When I started this Journey, one of my goals was to lose weight, reach my goal of 200 pounds, and keep it off for a month. 4 out of 5 days last week, I hit my dieting goals. I got plenty of great sleep, and I exercised every day. I was down to 202 pounds. […]
