As RR3 said American buffalo was good. David McCullough has some good history/biographies. Harvey Mackay of you have short bits of time and a bit of older business saavy. Jack Carr's stuff is in my 'to read' queue.
Terminal list is hard to put down. I think I started his fourth one and never finished. I got burned out a bit I guess. First one is a banger, as the kids say.
Over a hundred pages in and enjoying it. I appreciate the recommendation from you and Wl704. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
“I will Teach You To Be Rich” — despite the gross title, it is actually very practical and I’m recommending to all my adult kids. (I still prefer Rich Dad, Poor Dad, but this one is good) “Precision Bowhunting” A bit dated but solid principles—especially for public ground. “12 Rules for Life” by Jordan Peterson — only a few chapters in. Started reading with one of my adult sons. Much more philosophical and dense than I expected. I agree with so many of his principles, even though I would not hold to his path to get there via very evolutionary means. “Counterfeit Kingdoms” — listened to the audio book while traveling back and forth to the farm. And for fiction… Whatever Luis L’Amour western is on my night stand at the moment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
“Endurance, Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage”. By Alfred Lansing. Great story. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Pretty wild indeed. I can’t believe I never heard of this story before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Read this on the plane, it was good. Really makes you think about why we do what we do. Sent from my Pixel 6 using Tapatalk
“Sapians a brief history of human kind” by Yuval Noah Harari If was decent I guess. Parts were interesting other parts felt not as interesting and maybe a little political at times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I know a lot of people who loved it and gave it great reviews. Perhaps I was expecting to much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'm currently reading Tribe by Sebastian Junger. I'm about 1/3 of the way through, and I'm not understanding what the hype was all about. It's basically just telling me what I already knew - people aren't designed to live in large cities and have soft lives. It makes us depressed, angry, isolated, etc. We're better off in small communities (tribes) where we work hard, face adversity, and care about one another. Groundbreaking stuff. Maybe there will be some more actionable items and insights in the last half of the book.
That’s fair and I would agree with you in I already understood that. For me, it was gave clearly definable examples and terms and evidence to support what I basically knew, and allowed me to communicate to my family and wife clearly what I was dealing with and going through. I believe we all know this stuff but the evidence is there to talk intelligently to it. Towards the end he lays some stuff out that I had to stop for a sec and say, “that’s me and I didn’t realize it.” My mother has always struggled with who I am and what I became and was frustrated that I kept volunteering to go over. This book helped mend our relationship somewhat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
“I’m sorry I’m late I didn’t want to come” Jessica Pan. It was OK “The Secret to Success” Eric Thomas. I have seen him in some motivational videos and wondered about who he was. It was good to read about his life and struggles. Otherwise it was just OK. “The Confident Mind”. By Dr Nate Zinsser. Good sports psychology book with crossover to other areas of life.

Finished Empire of Ice and Stone by Buddy Levy. Picked up Labyrinth of Ice too. Great stories and great writing. Makes you feel like you haven’t done much with your life as the men that went on these expeditions were in their 20s. But great historical non-fiction. No personal commentary from the author.
