INSIGHT

Internal Emotional Targets

Pursue external goals to achieve internal emotional targets, not for external validation.
True success involves understanding and cultivating desired emotions, not just achieving goals.

INSIGHT

Self-Sabotage as Self-Protection

Your nervous system, driven by past trauma, can hinder emotional growth.
'Self-sabotage' is actually self-protection from perceived threats, often rooted in unhealed trauma.

ADVICE

Claim Your Power

Mastin Kipp

In 'Claim Your Power,' Mastin Kipp guides readers on a transformative journey to identify and dissolve hidden blocks, break free from trauma, and live a purpose-filled life. This book offers practical exercises and insights to help readers connect with their emotions and achieve personal growth.

The hero with a thousand faces

Joseph Campbell

In this book, Joseph Campbell explores his theory of the 'monomyth', a universal pattern found in the mythological narratives of various cultures. He details the stages of the 'hero's journey', which include departure from the ordinary world, initiation into a supernatural world, and return with a boon. Campbell draws on a wide range of mythological sources and integrates insights from psychology, particularly from Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, to illustrate the common elements of heroic myths across different cultures.

Man's Search for Meaning

Viktor Frankl

The book is divided into two parts. The first part recounts Frankl's harrowing experiences as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz, between 1942 and 1945. He describes the inhumane conditions and the psychological and emotional struggles of the prisoners. The second part introduces Frankl's theory of logotherapy, which posits that the primary human drive is the search for meaning, rather than pleasure. Frankl argues that meaning can be found through three main avenues: work (doing something significant), love (caring for another), and suffering (finding meaning in one's own suffering). The book emphasizes the importance of finding purpose and meaning in life, even in the most adverse conditions, as a key factor in survival and personal growth.

Outlive

The Science and Art of Longevity

Peter Attia

Bill Gifford

In this book, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health. The book aims to replace the outdated medical framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, focusing on creating the best individual plan for long-term health. It covers topics such as the limitations of cholesterol tests, underdiagnosed liver conditions, the importance of exercise, and the integration of overall health with relational health.

Principles

Ray Dalio

In 'Principles: Life and Work', Ray Dalio shares the principles he has developed over his career that have helped him achieve success. The book is divided into three sections: the first section explains how Dalio's principles were formed from his personal and professional experiences; the second section outlines life principles, such as embracing reality, being radically open-minded, and understanding the importance of pain and reflection in personal growth; and the third section focuses on work principles, including the use of radical truth and radical transparency to transform an organization. Dalio advocates for systematizing decision-making into algorithms, learning from failures, and building a culture where it is okay to make mistakes but unacceptable not to learn from them.

Breath

The New Science of a Lost Art

James Nestor

In 'Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art,' James Nestor delves into the history and science of breathing, revealing how modern humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly. The book takes readers on a global journey to ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, and other unusual locations to uncover the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo. Nestor collaborates with pulmonary experts to test long-held beliefs about breathing and presents evidence that slight adjustments in breathing can significantly improve athletic performance, rejuvenate internal organs, and alleviate various health issues such as snoring, asthma, and autoimmune diseases.

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll was Mastin Kipp’s 21-year-old lifestyle until it got him fired. When he was pulled over for suspicion of drunk driving, with an eight ball of cocaine sitting under his driver seat, he promised himself that if he avoided getting caught he would get clean.

Not only did he discover sobriety, he found himself becoming one of the most sought after transformation artists on the planet reaching over 2 million people in over 100 countries through his writing, online courses, seminars, and retreats.

He's created a whole new approach to life intervention that he calls Functional Life Coaching, a scientific approach to helping people work through trauma and find their real purpose in life.
