Summer Reading List

Cross-posted from my basketball blog. 

A quarter of Americans never read a book. That shuts them out from change. The books included are exceptional and well-written. Many others belong on the list such as some from Jon Gordon like The Positive Dog and The Hard Hat, Darren Hardy's The Compound Effect, and the Heath Brothers' Made to Stick. 

When we encounter a bad book, abandon it. When we discover a great read, read it again. 

Habits

"We make our habits and our habits make us." 

What kind of person do you want to be? Elite grades demand elite study habits and "unrequired work." If you want to become an excellent athlete, you need skill, tactical excellence, physicality (strength/conditioning/endurance), and strong psychology (resilience). 

Develop better habits. Listen to this podcast featuring James Clear, author of Atomic Habits.
