On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump incited a violent mob to storm the US Capitol in attempts to overturn the presidential election. It was a betrayal of our Constitution, and one of the darkest days in recent history. Yet to former congressman Adam Kinzinger it was also the culmination of a cultural and political rupture he’d long seen coming. Constructive criticism from within the Republican Party was no longer enough. It was time to stand up, even if it meant betraying his own party.

Excellent book about the man, a Republican, who had the courage to stand up for what was right and wrong in this country. Well written and narrated by the author. I immediately started following Kinzinger on Substack as he continues to stand up to Trump and those who are trying to kill democracy.

Humorous yet spiritually rigorous, drawing from pop culture and from personal experience, The Dharma of "The Princess Bride" teaches us how to understand and navigate our most important personal relationships from a 21st-century Buddhist perspective. Friendship. Romance. Family. These are the three areas Ethan Nichtern delves into, taking as departure points the indelible characters - Westley, Fezzik, Vizzini, Count Rugen, Princess Buttercup, and others from Rob Reiner's perennially popular film.

I loved this book. I recently heard Ethan on a podcast with Dan Harris and really liked him. I saw this book and as a fan of the movie, I really enjoyed the way he tied the book together with Buddhism and relationships. Funny, entertaining and relatable. I'm a fan and highly recommend this book.

Henry Worsley spent his life idolizing Ernest Shackleton, the 19th-century polar explorer who tried to become the first person to reach the South Pole and later sought to cross Antarctica on foot. Worsley felt an overpowering connection to those expeditions. In 2008, Worsley set out across Antarctica with two other descendants of Shackleton's crew, battling the freezing, desolate landscape and life-threatening physical exhaustion. He soon felt compelled to go back. In 2015, Worsley bid farewell to his family and embarked on his most perilous quest: to walk across Antarctica alone.

A great adventure about another incredible Antarctic explorer. Henry Worsley was an amazing man, following in the footsteps of his idol, Ernest Shackleton. As always, Will Patton nails the narration. A very short read but well worth it!

ABC News anchor Dan Harris used to think that meditation was for people who collect crystals, play Ultimate Frisbee, and use the word namaste without irony. After he had a panic attack on live television, he went on a strange and circuitous journey that ultimately led him to embrace a practice he'd long considered ridiculous. Harris discovered that meditation made him more focused and less yanked around by his emotions. According to his wife, it also made him significantly less annoying.

Outstanding Book
Revisado: 06-29-24
This is probably my favorite book on mindfulness. I first heard of Jeff Warren on the Calm app and now meditate on his Do Nothing Project (and still on Calm).
In learning more about Jeff and mindfulness, it led me to Dan Harris. I loved his book 10% Happier and love his podcast and app too.
Together, these two are just awesome and their "bromance" is obvious. A little corny at times but O find them hilarious and I learned so much from them. They are so knowledgeable but can also easily dumb it down for my simple pea brain. Absolutely and highly recommend this book.

The Buddhist Enneagram is a deeply personal exploration of Buddhist teachings on liberation from suffering and how the enneagram illuminates the way. This work is not an academic overview of interesting correlations between the systems. Rather, it shows how the enneagram gives powerful insight into your unique spiritual journey—and how you can support others in theirs.

In baseball there are superstars and stars and everyday players and then there are the rest. Within the rest are role players and specialists and journeymen and then there are the backup catchers. The Tao of the Backup Catcher is about them, the backup catchers, who exist near the bottom of the roster and the end of the bench and between the numbers in a sport–and a society–increasingly driven by cold, hard analytics.

A great story
Revisado: 05-03-24
An awesome, realistic look at the men who played for the love of the game and helped others improve theirs.
I loved the stories about, not just Erik Kratz, but others like him. Class acts devoted to their craft.
I love baseball but always sucked at it, so I didn't continue with it. This was a well written, well narrated story of those who did (and do) have the talent and the determination to keep playing and realizing there was an important role for them in this great game.
I HIGHLY recommend the book for anyone who loves baseball!

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few. So begins this most beloved of all American Zen works. Seldom has such a small handful of words provided a teaching as rich as this famous opening line of Shunryu Suzuki's classic. In a single stroke, the simple sentence cuts through the pervasive tendency students have of getting so close to Zen as to completely miss what it's all about. An instant teaching in the first minutes. And that's just the beginning.

In Stop Missing Your Life, mindfulness teacher Cory Muscara takes us on a journey into the heart of what is required for real change, growth, and happiness. He exposes how the phrase "be present" has become little more than a platitude, imbued with the misguided message to be present just for the sake of being present, and reveals how to achieve true Presence: a quality of being that is unmistakably attractive about a person, and one that only comes when we've peeled back the layers of guarding that prevent us from being our full, honest, and integrated selves in the world.
