Almost everything you need to know re: good life

Revisado: 04-10-25

I learned about Jeff Krasno from Rich Roll podcast. One way to learn of people in the know. Near the beginning of the podcast, Rich Roll told Jeff Krasno he really liked his writing style. As the conversation continued, it was clear Jeff Krasno had more than writing style to contribute to anyone interested in getting the most out of daily living, in every way. I pre-ordered his new book "Good Stress" and added the Audible to my library. You will need both, in my opinion.
1) The Audible so you can enjoy listening while learning (he is author and narrator and gets 5 stars for both!)
2) I do the Kindle book in order to be able to highlight, add bookmarks and notes and easily head to the internet on anything in the book to learn in greater detail.
Near the end of the book for my first time through. How many more reads and listens? Don't know, other than many more. Much to learn. Just finished the chapter on Rewilding where he pointed out a simple (well not so simple ... try it) part of his daily regimen, the squat. While I have always had a rigorous and varied daily exercise routine, mostly outdoors, I will add the squat because I think it just might help with a recent challenge ... some lower back stiffness/pain and therefore posture. And therefore, "the good life" at almost 70 young years! You can't go wrong by adding both books to your library. Oh, and while this will likely be something you would never consider doing, add a cold shower to your morning wakeup routine if you want to feel super charged and mentally alert during your day. He'll even explain why, in a creative and entertaining way.

this is a keeper

I've learned new aspects of world war II from this account and story. I will also therefore purchase the Kindle version so that I can explore and learn at greater depth. it's amazing he came out the other side considering all that he did during world war II. I am grateful for his in every veterans service to our country and to my existence.

Isn't it obvious?

Revisado: 02-29-24

I don't understand how the Trump menace is not obvious to a large majority of Americans, no matter party affiliation. I recently finished "The Constitution of Knowledge" so I get that healthy debate and diverse opinion is important. I know many intelligent, kind, giving, caring and principled people, some in high places, that voted for Trump in 2016 (Trump has none of these qualities). From what I can deduce, they are voting Republican; towing the party line no matter what. But what if the "party line" is a genuine threat to our constitutional federal republic? I currently live in the South. So far, I do not see the Trump signs and banners that I saw in 2016, but we once again see Trump has decimated the Republican candidates. He is a pig with lipstick and the Republican party is again falling in line, deceived by the lipstick. I am a grandfather with a single vote, but know the stakes are high. I had better find the best way to get involved. Cheney for President as a competent "leader" of the Republican party vs. Independent, would have my support and vote. I hope this book goes viral.

Great end of summer read

Revisado: 09-18-22

The plot kept me interested to the end. I also have rowing in my past and the single shell in my lake boathouse calls to me this fall and winter as the power boat traffic diminishes. I no longer fight my chronotype, which is afternoon/evening vs. early morning). Time to re-capture the magic of rowing. I continued to pull for Zott's uniqueness of individuality. She creates her world and sticks to it. Others predictably fall in line, to their benefit. Bravo Zott. Great ending.

Interested in sailing?

Revisado: 09-09-22

Great approach to an "Introduction". Learning to sail and about boats, like most anything, requires that we get busy doing. There are many approaches to the doing process, which this Introduction to Sailing covers in a unique way. Christian's books and videos are entertaining and informative. This introduction worked for me because he covers the big picture experience from size of sail boats to casual vs. competitive sailing for the novice to the team or solo sailing in a variety of weather conditions. Helps to know he has been there done that. I was fortunate growing up to have a father whose hobby was navigation and sailing. He started small and eventually partnered on a 30' Grampian before moving to a 34'. Many, many interesting stories/experiences including a final family sail excursion to the BVI's before us kids ... moved on. I personally would not be interested in owning a sail boat, but am definitely interested in crewing, which I did after graduating college. Thinking of doing this again on the eave of retirement. What better way to get fresh air, travel, meet new people, have new adventures and learn new lessons ... from mother nature.

Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln

Revisado: 08-25-22

There are so many great leaders. The stories behind these two and Jesus would be important for all of our youth to learn as the ground rules for life.

Not sure how many more times I will listen to this

Revisado: 07-27-22

If you or someone that gets excited about chasing your dreams I would highly recommend this and the previous book. Excellent, including narration.

Fuel for the fire. And the author writes well.

it's all I want to say but I could not submit unless I had more words. so I hope I now have the minimum number of words required.
