Books that are worthwhile-

1) The relaxation response.
Talks about "the relaxation response" (durrrr). Natures antidote to the fight, flight, or freeze response.

2) Real Happiness
Amazing "how to" book on meditation. I honestly think if you want to get good at being chill under stress you need consistent meditation.

3) Mindfulness in plain english.
Great for explaining these types of concepts to the western mind.

4) Flow
A book about the state we are all searching for.

Update

Jiu Jitsu is better than ever. Completely different athlete than before. All my losses helped me so much, changed my outlook and helped me begin to understand intrinsic motivations and task based focus/flow state. Its cool shit.

Women continue to be a fascinating problem for me. The beautiful ones usually have some type of boyfriend, mental problem, or both.

Friends and being social > Everything.

School is out! But, that means I finally have to figure out my loans and register for classes. I think I'm taking my old writing teachers class, because it was just so good and you never know.

My philosophy class was a horrible bust this year. My psychology class was good.
