My favorite book ever! This book&my skateboard got me through the US Army in the 80's&then again in 2001 when I spent 6 months in rehab shaking off junk jag that ate most of my soul! Stay Free my brothers & sisters! Om Mani Padme Hum...

'Losing control, finding serenity' by Daniel Miller was probably the most transformative book for me. Highly recommend it.

Awesome video! Physiology books are also fun too read because you get to be introspective in a logical distant way.

I loved that you were honest about feeling embarrassed while reading no more mr. nice guy because I felt the same way. But i agree that confronting that has been huge for examining my reactions to things. Great list 👍🏽

I'm 24 right now so this was interesting to hear! Great recs around meditation and living in the present, I started meditating daily around a year ago and it's honestly changed my life for the better :)

Wow great list George! I’ll definitely be checking out Meditations. One book i think you’ll love is called The “Tao Te Ching” by Lao Tzu.
