Today, I want to talk about some favorite books of mine that have changed my life. I believe in investing in yourself in any way possible, including sitting down and reading from great minds in the world. Besides, that's how the greats did it—by learning from other people as well. If you are hitting a ceiling and you feel a bit stuck, here are my top 3 books that created massive changes in the way I look at how to work, live, and run a business. Note: I don't get paid from these, I just happen to love these books. --- Before we dive in, hit the FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE button. ---               2:29 Where to start if you feel like you just can't do it all. When everyone is preaching to not care about what's going on around you, one book taught a different philosophy, originated by Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius: that it doesn't matter how difficult the challenge might be. There is always opportunity in an obstacle to rise and become better. This book has changed my life in drastic ways, and I've shared this with Business Insider's millions of readers here. This book that changed my life is called the Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday. From this book, I've learned: How to not let your situation make decisions for you. How to overcome ANY challenge. How to use obstacles as a Launchpad, the idea of turning weakness into strength   7:24 The real reasons why we procrastinate If you've ever procrastinated, felt guilty about it, and wondered how to battle it—you might want to think twice. One special book talks about how many original and creative ideas and inventions came about because the inventor waited until the very last minute. Turns out, there's a scientific reason for this. This is not a free-for-all invitation to never get anything done, of course. On the contrary, it allows you to do things like eat something fatty for a change and kick back WHILE calibrating your next steps. Oh, and don't forget to get back to it once you're ready! Get all the juicy details of Originals by Adam Grant and: Why FAST is not always better (letting your brain percolate is a way to spark creativity). Why Original ideas usually come from a level of procrastination. And, Why it's OK to postpone and not everything has the same degree of importance.   14:00 How to break records that you think was impossible to break. The Rise of Superman by Steven Kotler is a deep dive into what it takes to continue to break records and a study of why endurance athletes of all kinds seem to do the impossible. I love this book because it gives us comfort in knowing that you only have to pick up pieces and clues left by success stories before you, to create your own massive success and surpass all expectations set by you AND those people who never believed that you can do it. The successes of your predecessors need to be celebrated, emulated, and improved upon. Records are meant to be broken. We're not getting better and people are turning into super humans. We've just found better and better ways to do something. And it's built upon previous successes, whether that's yours or someone else's.   19:41 How multiple trips to the hospital can show you a surprising fact about your work. If you feel exhausted because you've run out of fuel, Essentialism by Greg McKeown, is the book for you. It's about how VERY few things are actually that essential, and how you should focus on really just a few smart decisions that can make a big impact. As you know, I teach this to all my students as well. It's also the reason why I'm HUGE on encouraging you to take the smallest, most meaningful steps, to create the biggest difference possible (while staying sane)! What you'll learn in this book, is that: You don't need to do everything. You only need to do a FEW important things. Most things, if you really look at it, are not essential. Why sustainable work is better than speedy work.   27:58 How a single piece of your work can be passed around from one generation to another. You can learn this from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. OK, OK. This IS a kids' book. But there's a reason why this simple story has lasted for generations and will likely continue. What a beautiful reminder that: Something so small can change so many people's lives and formed so many people's outlook on life. And that, IF you do the right things and learn from the right people when building your business, your work will come back to you tenfold for YEARS to come. Imagine doing that with your product, your service, your business, or even just your words! --- Be sure to hit the FOLLOW or SUBSCRIBE button. --- Sources: The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday   Originals by Adam Grant The Rise of Superman by Steven Kotler Essentialism by Greg McKeown Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl

Back in 2007, billionaire financier, acquaintance of both Donald Trump and Bill Clinton and child sexual predator, Jeffrey Epstein received one of the most unorthodox plea deals after an investigation found he was running a sex ring with teenage girls, some as young as 14, out of his Palm Beach, FL mansion. He served only 13 months in a county jail, which amounted to a slap on the wrist after federal charges were thrown out in exchange for two lesser state charges. Why? Fast forward to July 2019. Epstein was arrested coming off his private jet in New Jersey and charged with child sex trafficking by the vaunted Southern District of New York. Why did this happen now? Is justice finally going to be served?How difficult are sex crimes cases to prosecute? Does double jeopardy apply? What happened with the original plea deal?Former SDNY federal prosecutor and MSNBC Legal Analyst, Mimi Rocah, joins Tara to breakdown the case. She also gives her take on the highly anticipated Robert Mueller congressional testimony next week.Tara offers more details about the tangled web of Jeffrey Epstein, the Russian Mob, Trump and more political hot topics of the week.

Fasting Isn’t Just for Lent

The Tightrope: Reflections for Busy Catholics

During Lent, Catholics abstain and fast at certain times. But the Catholic Church views every Friday (except solemnities) as a penitential day, which means we should abstain from meat or something else we desire every Friday of the year, and not just during Lent. If you’re confused about the difference between abstaining and fasting, just remember: * Abstaining = not eating a particular food * Fasting = not eating any food Canon 1250 states, “All Fridays through the year and the time of Lent are penitential days and times throughout the entire Church.” The Church prescribes this for three reasons: We find solidarity with Christ. We are moved toward virtue by reordering the passions. Our prayers are deepened. Do you fast during Ordinary Time? Comment below! For a great video on the benefits of fasting, check out “Why Should Christians Fast?” by The CFRs and Jackie Mulligan of Reform Wellness.

I have followed Pat's work for quite some time now and he has always been someone I thought was a little quirky, but someone that I VERY much looked up to and admired for his incredible wealth of knowledge and understanding of the human body and mind.I was VERY surprised, but equally happy when I received a reply back from him on my request to have him on my podcast. Pat is a very successful coach, author and writer in his own right and so to have him come on my podcast, was a real treat and something I very much enjoyed and hope you do to.I had a great time chatting with Pat about a number of topics, but what we kept coming back to was the incredible power fasting has for us and a power that goes WELL beyond just an effective fat loss tool.I hope you enjoy this episode and hope you enjoy the knowledge that pours out of Pat in this hour we had together.Thank you to Pat for joining me on the show and thank you to you for listening in.If you enjoyed this episode I'd love for you to leave a review, give the podcast a 5 star review and subscribe for more.Pat's Details:Instagram: @chroniclesofstrengthWebsite: www.chroniclesofstrength.comNew Book: www.howtobebetterbook.comContact The No Breakfast Guy:Instagram: @the_no_breakfast_guyWebsite: www.thenobreakfastguy.comEmail: info@thenobreakfastguy.comYouTube: www.youtube.com/thenobreakfastguy

"Why should I fast?" ... is a real question that often goes unanswered. You might hear your pastor, ministry leader or friend talk about fasting and wonder what the purpose of depriving yourself of something really is. After all, why fast when you could simply pray, right?
