Dads, I just solved your next three weekends as to what to watch with your family on Amazon.
The Divergent series! It's a Hunger Games like bowl of awesomeness and substance. (I think it is even better). I explain why and also mediate a little bit on the author Veronica Roth. She wrote this novel in a creative writing class at Northwestern her senior year. The movie rights were immediately purchased. I compare her as a shooting star with Steven Pressfield, the late bloomer.
Deep Work is an awesome book, almost as good as Atomic Habits. I discuss what it is, how to apply it and how I have used this book to change my creative habits.
You and I will cover Romans 5:3-5, glory in suffering, River Runs through it, and happiness in the deep-down.
In this episode, I cover Romans 12:11, Weston Noble, a tiny moment of synchronicity, and what I learned from mom.
I return to Stutz and his three principles of life.
Here's the book.
In this episode, you and I will explore the conditions under which stress will make you or break you.
Stress is something that I have struggled, but now I embrace it as a catalyst to being the best version of myself.
Whoa two wonderful topics from Stoicism: memento mori and carpe diem. In this episode, I explore their meaning, cover Dead Poets Society, and what you can learn from my mom.
In episode, I discuss how a morning ritual can enhance the best version of you.
I define it, share my own morning ritual, identify the perils of too much ritual, explain how to optimize your morning ritual and share one tweak that I would like to add to my evening ritual.
I believe a morning ritual is not just one of the keys to happiness, it is the key to unlock the best version of you!
A Stoic meditation on the power of today...
In this episode, I explore the 10 design principles of Dieter Rams, an industrial design for the Braun company.
I focus on two of the 10 and ask you one simple question as to the design of your own life.
This is a book that every man should give to his son and teach him lessons from it if he has not already done so.
Just read Signal and the Noise by Nate Silver. This should be required reading for every college graduate or anyone who wants to assess reality as it is.
Loved this book!!
This episode's on the virtues of making your bed every single day.
Learned this lesson via Admiral William McCraven's 2014 University of Texas-Austin commencement speech.
I also share a good evening habit that pays off big time the next day.
In this episode, I cover one of my favorite Stoics, Marcus Aurelius and a particularly, bad ass quote from Aurelius about turning obstacles into fuel.
For more on Aurelius, check out Meditations.
For a modern American Stoic, check out Ryan Holiday's book on obstacles.
In this episode, ask this question.
What is your superpower?
I shared what I learned in this past weekend's children sermon and also, provide the ultimate example of what happens when the superpower is identified. Yep, it's my mancrush: US Grant.
Want to learn more about Grant? Read this book!
In this episode, I cover what I gleaned from picking up sticks in my yard.

I am a white rural Trump voter. In this episode, I respond to the book White Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy by Paul Waldman and Tom Schaller.
Does any of it ring true for me?

Both were "great" men and in this episode, I explore how and why they became great.
