Wrong Audience Only For the 1% of the 1%
Reviewed: 02-18-24
I've listened to Tony's Money: Master the Game and thought it was spot on and would help 100% of his followers. This book is only helpful for the 1% of the 1% and is kind of a tribute to a few of the richest men in the world.
99% of Tony's people seeking help will never get access to his recommended alternatives, in my opinion.

Story
Every year, roughly 2 million people participate in marathons and half marathons in the United States, and, no matter what level they are, every one of these runners has likely hit “The Wall,” running out of muscle fuel in the final miles and slowing down precipitously. In The New Rules, renowned fitness journalist and training coach Matt Fitzgerald cuts through the myths, distilling the most up-to date science to help runners overcome the universally experienced nutritional barriers that prevent success in the marathon and half marathon.

Can’t Hurt Me, David Goggins’ smash hit memoir, demonstrated how much untapped ability we all have but was merely an introduction to the power of the mind. In Never Finished, Goggins takes you inside his Mental Lab, where he developed the philosophy, psychology, and strategies that enabled him to learn that what he thought was his limit was only his beginning and that the quest for greatness is unending.

Story
When a pseudonymous programmer introduced “a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party” to a small Online mailing list in 2008, very few paid attention. Ten years later, and against all odds, this upstart autonomous decentralized software offers an unstoppable and globally-accessible hard money alternative to modern central banks. The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications.

Story
If you’re eating a healthy diet and you’re still dealing with fatigue, inflammation, anxiety, recurrent injuries, or chronic pain, the problem could be your spinach, almonds, sweet potatoes, and other trusted plant foods. And your key to vibrant health may be quitting these so-called superfoods. After suffering for decades from chronic health problems, nutrition educator Sally K. Norton, MPH, discovered that the culprits were the chemical toxins called oxalates lurking within her “healthy,” organic plant-heavy diet.

What Should Have Taken 3 hours vs 8 hours
Reviewed: 01-09-23
I appreciate that Ms. Norton brings to light the issues surrounding Oxalate and the problems with a plant-based diet. But the book is very repetitive and she loses credibility, in my opinion, by listing dozens and dozens of physical and mental diseases associated with high Oxalate diets.
The section on Oxalate 'Clearing' if true would make no sense for a normal person to ever go to a low oxalate diet. I'm sure it makes sense if you have kidney stones and are in very bad health drinking spinach almond milk smoothies.
In the end she goes over vitamins, diets, and eating issues which is very confusing.
Truly not sure there is a real recommendation and path forward after listening to the book outside of staying away from spinach almond milk smoothies.

If you are like most traders, you probably overlook or misunderstand mental and emotional obstacles. While many trading psychology books offer sound advice, they don't show you how to do the necessary work. That's why you haven't solved the problems hurting your performance. With straight talk and practical solutions, Jared Tendler brings a new voice to trading psychology. In The Mental Game of Trading, he busts myths about emotions, greed, and discipline, and shows you how to look past the obvious to identify the real reasons you're struggling.

Story
Deena Kastor was a star youth runner with tremendous promise, yet her career almost ended after college, when her competitive method - run as hard as possible, for fear of losing - fostered a frustration and negativity and brought her to the brink of burnout. On the verge of quitting, she took a chance and moved to the high altitudes of Alamosa, Colorado, where legendary coach Joe Vigil had started the first professional distance-running team. There she encountered the idea that would transform her running career: the notion that changing her thinking - shaping her mind to be more encouraging, kind, and resilient - could make her faster than she’d ever imagined possible.

A Must Read For Any Leader Driving Innovation
Reviewed: 09-20-18
Dr. Giles has taken a very complex and important value creation topic for both start-ups and corporations, Innovation, and offers the key fundamental competencies required for success.
The book provides the reader a simple framework, backed by clinical research, that an organization needs its leaders to Trust, Create A Sense of Belonging, and a Culture of Learning to truly set the foundation for Innovation.
I reflect on my own experiences at 3M, Accenture and Shell and now appreciate the strong culture that drives those highly successful organizations to innovate. I also have experienced within start-ups and companies, leaders who lacked the basic competency of trust, which hindered their ability to innovate and get to the next level.
The Audible book was a great why to learn the details of Dr. Giles research and insights.
