Love, The Dark Arts, and Winning
The Cultured Warrior #033: Rumi, Harry Potter Houses, Book Reports, and Bitcoin.
Thoughts to Ponder:
I took the Harry Potter House quiz about 10 times and begrudgingly accepted my Gryffindor House assignment. Â I took the quiz again at the request of an 11 year old client, Â and more appropriately was assigned to Slytherin. Â My client also assured me that I would be an excellent Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher!
What's New With Me:
February / Spring is my "carnivore anniversary"! Â That means it's time for me to give myself an early birthday present of health and get my blood work done. Â I'll be doing longer write ups to break things down in the future.
I also published a new article; "1% Gains and Winning." Â There I break down with a little nuance "the myth of perpetual progress" and how "the grind" only gets more grinding (and for less return) the higher you want to perform.
Book Report:
I recently finished Tim Grover's "Winning." Â Tim has been the personal trainer to some of the greatest athletes to walk the Earth; Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant to name a few. Â For less than 200 pages and $15 this is well worth picking up; especially in an era of "new normal" that is thriving and literally banking on you being soft, placid, and not winning.
I created a donations page, in additions to the products page (affiliate sponsors) since a few people have asked if I have a Patreon (or similar, sorry no Only Fans either!).
