Let me save you 5 hours: 🧵
10 books that will Increase Your Intelligence 🧵
1) The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Elegant, startling, and universal in its applications, this book explores the extreme impact of rare and unpredictable events and will change the way you look at the world.
My most important rule for life: Don’t complain about anything.
If it’s within your control, go do something about it. If it’s not, complaining is just a waste of energy.
When you complain, you’re giving too much power to the thing.
Take back that power.
40 sentences that will teach you more about nutrition than a $400,000 medical degree.
1) Meat, eggs and animal organs are the most nutrient dense foods on the planet.
People today walk around with the stiffest hips, and the implications are disastrous.
You set yourself up for chronic pain and bad posture for the rest of your life.
Take control now before it's too late.
These 10 stretches will free your hips from their misery:
The best time to do these stretches is before bed, as you unload all the tension accumulated throughout the day and achieve a deeper sleep.
1 - Half Frog Stretch (0:06)
3 x 30-60s/side
This one is excellent for your inner thighs and hip flexors.
You also stretch your abdominals.
2 - Seated Crossed Leg Reach Forward Stretch (0:14)
3 x 30-60s
This stretch also hits the lats that sit right above your hips.
Some of you may be unable to reach forward with your legs crossed.
The first milestone is to touch the floor with your hands and then slide them forward.
3 - Seated Pigeon Stretch (0:23)
3 x 30-60s/leg
Today, one of my clients felt a massive pull just by crossing his leg and pushing down. Forget leaning forward!
The goal is to bring your chest down to your leg while keeping your back straight.
Push your hips back toward the wall behind you to lower your torso.
4 - Seated Glute Strech (0:32)
3 x 30-60s/leg
The difference between this stretch and the Seated Pigeon is that you curl your upper back to lower your head to your leg.
5 - Lying Glute Stretch (0:43)
3 x 30-60s/leg
Lying on your back with one leg crossed.
Pull the other leg toward your chest and hold.
6 - Pigeon Stretch (0:52)
3 x 30-60s/leg
This stretch never fails to open my clients' hips, though many will feel enough of a pull by simply crossing one leg.
The goal is to reach forward and lower your torso parallel to the floor.
7 - Glute Bridge with External Rotation (1:00)
3 x 10-12/leg
This one is great because you strengthen one leg and stretch the other.
Due to a lack of strength or mobility, you might have to rotate with a bent leg before moving onto a straightened one.
8 - Frog Stretch (1:05)
3 x 30-60s
The frog stretch is amazing for your inner thigh muscles.
Start kneeling with your elbows on the floor and your feet pointing outward.
Slide backward and hold.
9 - Crossed-Leg Glute Bridge (1:14)
3 x 30-60s/leg
Here is another Glute Bridge variation where you strengthen one leg and stretch the other.
You feel the hip opening up at the top, so hold it there and rotate your knee away from your body to increase the pull.
10 - V Stretch (1:23)
3 x 30-60s
You can do this stretch with your legs up in the air or against a wall.

Start taking care of your hips now before they turn into stone.
Reversing the stiffness becomes much more painful and takes much longer if you let it fester over the years.
You'll feel much more relaxed and move smoother once you eliminate all the excess pressure.
So I was blessed to get a chance to play Grove XXIII, Michael Jordan’s private golfing playground.
While I can’t share photos from inside the gates, I can share the experience. It’s truly one of a kind.
What it’s like to play Grove XXIII:
Privacy is power and protection. Don't overshare and tell people more than they need to know. Some people talk to you to talk about you. Living in private, dating in private, making money in private, healing in private, unlearning in private, and growing in private is self-care.
