This is the list of what I read in Q1:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0<\/strong>Fact & Memory by Keith Dow and Tyler Carroll<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“The first release from veteran owned and operated publishing company, Dead Reckoning Collective. Fact & Memory is a collection of poetry about growing up, trauma, loss, love and happiness. Mostly it is about getting a lot of things wrong before you start getting them right and how you remember those events versus how they actually happened<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

2. Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“In Can’t Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

“Superb writing advice… hilarious, helpful and provocative<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0The Alter Ego Effect by Todd Herman<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“A top performance expert reveals the secret behind many top athletes and executives: creating a heroic alter ego to activate when the chips are down<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

“Written down as ‘notes to myself’ over the course of eight decades plus as a dancer\/advertising superstar\/performer\/playwright\/author, David Leddick teaches us that how you see yourself is how others see you So find your own style and express it as freely as you would a work of art<\/em>.”<\/p>\n
