The simplicity of the message and the authenticity of the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu shine in Douglas Abrams' book. Though representing vastly different religions, these two remarkable men have centered themselves on the same mantra: living a life focused on exhibiting and spreading joy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f32f2d139a9d86ee6d1c95a/1597204918380-ZZC3A66YN0Q3VK6L4RRB/born_to_run.jpg Books Born to Run is a miraculous story surrounding a small tribe that has been nestled in the Copper Canyon of Mexico for generations. The tribe is home to some of the best ultra-marathoners on the planet, capable of athletic feats few in the world can match. One man's dream of a historic race and subsequent search for the tribe leads to a revelation about our shared human history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f32f2d139a9d86ee6d1c95a/1597205363190-C7MJ8B95HKMINHBYQ1PG/walk_in_the_woods.jpg Books Bill Bryson struck gold with this heartwarming and eye-opening memoir of his journey to hike the Appalachian Trail. His humor perseveres through life-and-death situations, examples of humankind's destructive impact on nature, and a middle-aged man's attempt at self actualization. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f32f2d139a9d86ee6d1c95a/1597205403099-7FPNA64QA0ZYDWVVM45A/mosquito.jpg Books The Mosquito is a book I find myself referencing in conversation time and time again. Timothy Winegard put together a masterpiece in his historical analysis of the mosquito's impact on human events. I will never again swat a mosquito before being awed by our inextricably interwoven past, but swatting will come next on the agenda. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f32f2d139a9d86ee6d1c95a/1597209078120-Y41GELV0GZ3WDDGROLIW/enlightenment_now.jpg Books I never realized how much I needed this book until I read it. The former Harvard professor delivers an astonishingly upbeat account of human progress and discusses why a glass-half-empty mentality about the future may not make sense. Steven Pinker lets the numbers do the talking as he walks through the last 150 years of scientific progress and searches for the principles that we must ground ourselves in to continue moving forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f32f2d139a9d86ee6d1c95a/1597209076564-HL3U67Q631DVQG5T7NYN/future_of_mind.jpg Books Physicist Michio Kaku looks at existing technologies and cutting edge science that deal with Brain-Machine interface technology. If that sounds far-fetched, remember that your smartphone already performs in exactly this niche. This book takes as its focus the potential of processing chips connected directly to our brains, digital copies of existing neuronal maps, and many other possible enhancements to humans in the 21st century. It will make you revisit your definition of AI by asking the simple question: what if we merge ourselves with technology? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f32f2d139a9d86ee6d1c95a/1597209076604-OYGXWLSP5ZXUD0IWEDTL/where_men_win_glory.jpg Books Where Men Win Glory covers the story of Pat Tillman, a celebrated NFL star at the peak of his career who joined the armed forces in the wake of 9/11. Jon Krakauer masterfully shapes the story largely from excerpts of Pat's personal journal. I found both inspiration and heartbreak in this book that puts Pat's unquestionable strength of will and uncommonly sharp mind on full display. Ever a man driven by purpose, Pat begins to question the very purposes that brought him to the mountains of Afghanistan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f32f2d139a9d86ee6d1c95a/1597261291132-995PR1L3GYUR5V2897LC/becoming_yourself.jpg Books Author David Foster Wallace proved his genius with the masterful novel Infinite Jest. The unanimous success of that book would, in most cases, have kicked off a vicious cycle of self indulgent behavior and book tours. For Mr. Wallace, it instead filled him with dread that he would never be able to reach such heights again, all the while wondering whether he even deserved the acclaim. David Lipsky, a fellow author, recounts his time with Wallace in interview form in this meta, marvelous look into the mind of a tormented genius. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f32f2d139a9d86ee6d1c95a/1597261291024-K5FOZE9X7RYXACB8SSNR/botany_of_desire.jpg Books Apples, tulips, cannabis, and potatoes. These are the four topics covered in Michael Pollan's account of some under-appreciated consumable plants. The histories laid out herein are far more "ripe" than I would ever have expected, and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about mankind's impact on these fascinating species. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f32f2d139a9d86ee6d1c95a/1597261290529-7J9JKUIN5ES2J1BO6KXO/never_eat_alone.jpg Books Though some portions of Keith Ferrazzi's story about Keith Ferrazzi are more than borderline narcissistic, I was able to forgive him and love this book. His palpable excitement about the centering message is appropriate as the message is simultaneously obvious and preposterous. Here it is: make connections anywhere you can, then nurture those connections and use them to your mutual advantage. It's the type of book that had me awed I wasn't already heeding its advice in my personal and professional life because it seems so obvious. Hell, I have Keith Ferrazzi to thank for finally deciding to create a website! Thanks Keith Ferrazzi. I'll say his name again so he doesn't have to: Keith Ferrazzi. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f32f2d139a9d86ee6d1c95a/1597261290971-JHXGA7UIH8D9FLH95FWO/publicly_shamed.jpg Books Jon Ronson delivers a number of harrowing stories about the impact of public shaming in our hyper-connected world. He brings some needed humor to a few horrific tales about the damaging effects of partial information and lives that are ruined overnight on the internet. Ronson underlines, in the pre-Trump era, how the lightning fast spread of information can be harmful if it comes at the expense of details and facts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f32f2d139a9d86ee6d1c95a/1597261290642-SDYOXDU1DPTDRRI3Z3CC/sapiens.jpg Books Yuval Noah Harari outlines the key steps in our development as a species in this appropriately-titled work. It is the glance back at our shared origin that we all could do with more of. I found Sapiens encapsulating, educational, and comprehensive and would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about who we are and how we got here. https://www.nateyordy.com/suki-pictures

with a few important distinctions. It’s minimally demanding physically, and I imagine I will be able to play it for the rest of my life. It’s very social, yet possible to play by yourself; the sport is most enjoyable with a few friends and allows for constant conversation. It’s easy to pick up; everyone knows how to throw a frisbee and it’s the same for a disc. It might take some time to develop the finer points of putting and hitting your preferred line, but everything takes practice. But what I love most about disc golf is precisely what differentiates it from its more popular sibling. It’s environmentally friendly and FREE! A disc golf course looks nothing like a golf course. The best courses are wooded and natural, requiring little to no clear-cutting. There’s no need to bring in truckloads of sand for obstacles because the trees themselves present the difficulty of a hole, or the natural bend in a loosely-populated area of a forest. The vicious and environmentally destructive fertilizers common to golf courses need not be sprayed to maintain a disc golf course, as the roughness of the grass or dirt has little impact on a throw through the air. A round of disc golf should, and almost always does, feel like a walk through a natural landscape. Better yet, the vast majority of disc golf courses are free and open to the public. No need to set a tee-time or pay course fees. Discs cost between $10 and $18 and you really only need one to play. Discs are sturdy and don’t need replacement for years unless you are playing very regularly. I’ve invested in my bag and my disc collection because I love the sport, but you don’t have to pay an arm and a leg to try disc golf. I will always be glad to give a disc to a first-time player in the hope that I can infect them with a passion for the sport, as my father infected me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f32f2d139a9d86ee6d1c95a/1597798776400-20459GK6EPYSABA216P6/IMG_3265.jpg Disc Golf My bag.
