1/ At my wedding last month, I gave each of my groomsmen 4 books that have influenced my life. First, "The War of Art" (http://amzn.to/2FVXSqf ), by @SPressfield, an incredible book on professionalism (especially for creative or entrepreneurial pursuits).

2/ Next,
@jockowillink's "Discipline Equals Freedom" (http://amzn.to/2G09hVT ), beautifully summarized by the attached page. Imagine a warrior decides "Just do it" should be a book, and produces a sort of anti-lifehacker manifesto on habit forming through sheer toughness.pic.twitter.com/OvWCQ98gA2

3/ Then "A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy" (http://amzn.to/2G1h4Tu ), the book that introduced me to
#Stoicism and showed me that philosophy could actually be relevant to daily life.1 reply 0 retweets 19 likesShow this thread -
4/ And finally, because we all need an antidote to our inner critic & drill sergeant, "Radical Acceptance" (http://amzn.to/2DzD3eF ) by
@TaraBrach, which was my first exposure to Buddhist self-acceptance to "Wake up from the trance of unworthiness".2 replies 2 retweets 19 likesShow this thread
5/ These are all books I continue to reread and learn from, and I hope the 4 brothers who joined me by the chuppah, armored in tuxedos, find something of value in them. Perhaps you can as well.
