Great post! I found you thru FJ. I have a lot of fear of failure outside the fitness realm so I am bookmarking this post & I want to mention it in one of my upcoming posts. I will let you know when I do. I have a few posts already set to go but probably end of next week or the following. It really spoke to me. THX!

Excellent! Will add Influence to the long list of books to read. Thanks for recommendation, I love marketing (actually was my original major @ PSU).

I look forward to checking out your site more often as I am looking to implement some more fitness and health into here.

Yeah, they were the self-improvement gurus of the 30's and 40's.

Yeah even though that book was published in the 30's, it's basics are still valid today. An awesome book that works as a good add-on to that is called "Influence" by Rober B. Cialdini. It's more for marketers but shit is powerful.

And no worries, link works out. I linked up your latest post on... my latest post, check it: http://www.fitjerk.com

Cheers.

I have not listened to Tony in awhile but went through that program and as usual w/Tony I enjoyed it. He talks with so much enthusiasm and passion that it is easy for his passion to rub off on ya.

I actually am looking into volunteering at one of his events. Not sure how it works yet, but if it leads to a spot in one of his events which cost usually around $1,000 plus then it would definitely be worth it.

How to win friends and influence people is a must, simple but effective. I am also a big fan of Napoleon Hill

My bad FJ. When I linked it up, it just took the name and put it in as the url. I fixed it up.

Dale Carnegie is the man, you are correct!

Very interesting and thought provoking Ivan. You make some really great points about how we are conditioned to be ambitious, to overachieve, to be the best we can be. Constantly searching for clues and answers about ourselves in the outside world. You are right, it is an endless journey and even myself get caught up in this journey quite so often.

I need to discipline myself to become more consciously aware and practice meditation. I have gotten away from it but am looking to get back into it. Do you recommend any readings on meditation and/or kriya yoga?

Thanks a ton for bringing this up and it is a very interesting aspect that I would like to look further into!
