Book of the Month

Outside of training and life I try to get in some reading whenever I can. Most of the time I try to stay within the realm of fitness but I like to read self-improvement books and even some random topics such as "the law of attraction". I recently got a Kindle so I am pretty excited to start using that and get a nice and extensive e-library built up. Reading is one of those things that I evaded for the longest time and regret doing so. I got back into reading about 2 years ago and have read a decent amount of books. It helps me with my knowledge and learning but also helps me with my writing and most of all, makes me look like a nerd.


With all of that being said I thought it would be nice to start a post entitled "Book of the Month" to share what book is sitting on my night stand at that very moment. So without any more wait I will introduce this month's Book of the Month...


 "Book of Secrets" by Deepak Chopra is the book that I am just about to open. I have read some of Chopra's other work and I am really in to his style of thought. It comes from more of a Buddhist outlook on life which deals a lot with living in the Now and not worrying too much about the past or future. It gives me a break from a lot of the scientific jargon and training based reading a deal mostly with and helps me relax my mind and refocus. Sometimes life gets me carried away and frustrated so it is good for me to read something that is going to focus me back on life at that moment and not get carried away with the small things. I am really looking forward to diving into this one and next month I will let you know how it was.
