I spent most of this morning in a coffee shop answering emails and editing an article, but I did find some time to read a few articles and blogs. I highly suggest you check them out:
A Fine Swine by TC Luoma - "
I'm Bored by Craig Weller - "'I'm bored' really means "I'm not creative or self-motivated enough to make sufficient use of my time."
How To Breakdance 101 - Unleash Your Inner B-boy by Tim Ferriss - "In this post, I will teach you the basics of footwork. If you’ve ever
dreamed of breakdancing (and who hasn’t?), this is enough to let you
check it off the list…"

Jason Pegg's In Defense of Squatting
It's only 8:58am now so I have a lot of time left to do some more reading lol.
In no particular order:
- The first two chapters of Jim Wender's "5/3/1" (light lunchtime reading)
- The traffic reports for http://www.shrinkgeek.com and my site (because I am a stat dork)
- HardOCP.com
- Entirely too many trouble tickets (at the office)
- TC's Flu article
- Enough of the T-Nat forums to wonder why I keep doing so
- A lot of snarky IMs and blog posts from my friends
- A handful of web comics (Ctrl-Alt-Del, Girls With Slingshots, Looking For Group, etc)
Not so much with the insightful or illuminating, but what do you expect for a Friday?
I read "The Wealth and Poverty of Nations" It's a book about economics. Before you run out and buy it, if you don't care about terms like "Malthusian Trap" and "Industrial Revolution" I wouldn't recommend it.
I'm reading it for a class-- it's pretty interesting.
I also listened to 5 episodes of Iron Radio. It should count as reading. My favorite episode that I listened to was about the benefits of squatting and deadlifting, and how to incorporate one into a program without destroying gains in the other.
1) A lot of e-mail
2) At your suggestion, and the of Joel and CB, I'm currently in the middle of Crush it! by Gary V. Great stuff so far.
3) As I'm never reading less than 3 books at once, I'm also currently reading a biography: Marcus Aurelius - a life. By Frank McLynn
4) and a Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson. It's a re-read for me, but worth at least one look. I think you'd like it.
Also - do you guys know about Goodreads.com? It's sort of a social networking site where you can have "friends" but the main idea is to rate books you've read. It's a cool way to connect with people who have similar literary interests, and also get recommendations for new books. Check it out; and of course friend me if you do.
Today I read psycho-cybernetics by maxwell maltz and a few chapters in the adonis affect
-"Foucault Before Foucault" (the first 2 chapters). I have read so much Foucault in the past 7 years and yet he's just more provocative, powerful and exciting each time!
-An article on slow food events in our local bi-monthly food mag. The slow food club in Calgary is an awesome initiative with an unfortunately exclusionary membership price tag. On socioeconomic principles, I refuse to join. On epicurean principles, I feel I must. Boo.
-Saturday morning comics in the weekend Globe & Mail :)
''What I read today'' by Nate Green, at 4.30am after a very drunken halloween nite out. Thats how hardcire I am!
Iron on my Mind - Dave Draper (Lift Heavy Stuff & Love it)
On Writing Well - William Zinnser (Writing is a Craft)
The Holy Bible - God (the Lord exercises kindness- Jeremiah 9:24)
"Exploring psychological mechanisms of collective action: Does relevance of group identity influence how people cope with collective disadvantage?" - Martinjn van Zomeren, Russel Spears and Colin Wayne Leach
(a research study for a psychology class)
Hey Nate - Just discovered ur blog. Love ur book and articles in T-nation. Very informative! Thanks again!
Love all of Craig Weller's work. He really gets into the mental and psychology of training. I email him all the time and tell him to write a book!
Currently, I'm into my great "football coach" genre. Just read "When pride matter" about Lombardi and reading a book about Bill Walsh called "The Genus." As trainers, these coaching books gives me a different insight and perspective about training.
Again, thanks for all the great work I've gotten from you.
Look forward to reading this blog on a daily basis.
Jack
1) Malcolm Gladwell "Outliers"
