I’m currently reading Mike Tyson’s book, not his bestseller life story ‘Undisputed Truth’ (although awesome and recommended too)

but the book ’Iron Ambition’ about his life with Cus D’amato his first trainer who basically built a world champion.

Chael Sonnen's book, A VIP Pass to Enightmenment

Ya don't even have to be an MMA fan to love it. It's honest and funny, plus not too long and letters not too small.

My fave story was his first time getting busted for a fight at school. Principals office, calls his dad. Dad shows, quiet and serious, little Chael terrified of his strict dad. Taken home in the truck, but Dad has to stop for gas. Go in to pay, and his dad says, "You want a coke?". Dumbstruck, the kid quietly nods and gets one. Dad says, "No no, get a bigger coke". So he sheepishly does". Then tells him, "Which candy bar you want?" Confused as hell, but he just goes along with it. They go home in silence.

That night little Chael's hiding, listening down from the banister. Overhears Dad on the phone laughing and bragging to his uncle with pride about how his son got into his first fight that day.

That's the stuff people wanna read

The Rise of Superman: Decoding the Science of Ultimate Human Performance Kindle Edition

by Steven Kotler

 

Great book on the development of performance flow. Really changed our thinking, or sharpened our thinking about what to pursue in training and how to get there.
