Can't Hurt Me
Buy on Amazon"What have been some books that hit you particularly hard? I think one of the first books that I read was "Can't Hurt Me," and so that one was super intense. Just kind of like when I was in the gym struggling, I'd remember that he would run like a hundred miles on broken feet and stuff."
The Obstacle Is the Way
Buy on Amazon"And then I read, "Your Obstacles Away." That was a really good one. Let's see, "Atomic Habits.""
Atomic Habits
Buy on Amazon"Let's see, "Atomic Habits." I'm currently reading "The Slight Edge." I haven't heard of that."

Everything Happens for a Reason
Buy on Amazon"Her book is titled 'Everything Happens for a Reason,' with a subtitle along the lines of 'Things You Should Never Say to Someone with Cancer.' There's no value in wasting time feeling upset—such negativity is wasted energy."
The War of Art
Buy on Amazon"There's a line in one of Steven Pressfield's books that I love; have you ever read his stuff? No, I haven't, but you would love The War of Art or his novel Gates of Fire—that's amazing. In one of them, a philosopher is talking to Alexander the Great, and Alexander says, 'I have conquered the world; what have you ever done?'"
