A review by kimball_hansen
Own the Day, Own Your Life by Aubrey, Marcus
4.0
Terrific book, all around good principles for daily living and self-help. But he could have done better at not using unnecessary cusswords. I wish I had the infamous accompanying PDF, darn it, some of them had some good recipes. The website www.findaspring.com is all neat. This author recommended taking Espulardi for a good pro-biotic. This book was more geared towards men but women could benefit from it, too.
I didn't like that he lumped all organic foods as good when that is clearly not true.
Notes:
"Well begun is half done." How you wake up sets the tone for the day. Start your day with purpose (not social media) drink water, and seek light to reset your internal clock. So get hydrated, get light, and get moving.
Waking up your body with coffee is like setting off a fire alarm as an alarm clock. You don't need it.
Room temperature is best for any beverage.
We have too much of the bad stress (chronic) and not enough of the good (acute). Chronic stress eats away at the willpower. Acute stress can help deal with chronic stress. It is a process called hormises. An example of acute stress is cold exposure like a cold shower.
Do 30-50 power breaths through the belly. You should feel a tingling. After take a deep breath then exhale and hold as long as you can when the air is out.
"Do you know what's beyond that mountain? More effing mountains."
The moment you journal with the thought that someone else might read it, that journal is worthless. Hmmm I agree and disagree with this. I think it's good to write with a purpose that our descendants will find it useful, but we shouldn't censor ourselves unnecessarily either.
Mental override is doing something you don't want to do.
Breakfast should be about breaking the habit of fast breakfast. If all you have are refined carbs or sugar for breakfast then skip it altogether.
Supplement is add the extra not replace. All you pill takers, remember that.
When we feel like time doesn't belong to us we tend not to take advantage of it. We don't utilize, we endure it. That's how most people view their commute.
Formal education will make you a living, self education will make you a fortune.
Time is the wrong metric to use when we evaluate work. It's not about how much time you work, it's about how effectively you use that time.
When bosses make work about time there is a decrease in productivity.
This guy says peak income is $83k not the $75k like we've been taught. Maybe inflation?
Lemon, jazmine, and lavender are good odors that help with productivity. Lemon being the strongest. Maybe that's why cleaning substances use lemon for their scents.
It is estimated that 75% of the world's food is produced only by 12 plants and 5 animals.
Calories are bullbeep. We're not metal ovens. We need to eat and measure nutrients.
Fiber and fat slow down the absorption of sugar. Soda speeds it up.
Avocado oil has the highest smoke point of all the cooking oils.
Only 1% of people have ciliac's disease (the glutton people) and around 15% are glutton sensitive.
The discipline comes in not what time you wake up but what time you go to bed. I need to work on that discipline.
Kettlebells are one of the best tools to use while working out because it teaches the body to stabilize itself.
If you spend a day without laughter or a smile you haven't the day.
Extreme experiences have the potential to form the deepest bonds just like my Endurance Family.
Ginger speeds up digestion.
Eating dessert about a high carb meal just fans the flames of making you fat.
Emotions are the way we translate our thoughts to the body.
Polarity is sexy.
Every hour of watching television after the age of 25 is associated with a 22 minute reduction of life expectancy. This is why we hate television.
If you wouldn't ingest it, you shouldn't put it on your body. But what about sunblock? Is thee any natural sunblock besides clothes and shade?
Tell yourself: I love you, I'm sorry, Forgive me, Thank you.
People who are so busy they have to limit the books they read are retarded.
