Being an all around “fit” and “healthy” person requires more than just hitting the gym a few times a week. People often get so concerned with improving their physical appearance and body compositions that they often neglect training the most powerful part of their bodies: their minds. So many people get caught up in trying to look better that they forget that there are some other parts of their lives that need improvement; such as in the learning, thinking, and instantiable quest for knowledge departments. This particular volume of Gains For Life has been inspired by a host of new people I've recently had the pleasure of connecting with over the last few days. I've recently realized I operate on somewhat of a different frequency than my academic peers and friends and that I've been the odd-ball in a sense. But meeting and sharing experiences with these new people in my life have shown me that there's plenty of people out there very similar to me that want to improve their own lives, but more importantly, improve the lives of everyone they have the pleasure of meeting on their journeys. So kick back and peruse some of my favorite and recommended pieces of work pertaining to fitness, nutrition, and overall personal development!

Most people labor under the misconception that their life is the result of fate, luck, or circumstances. This book explains that your life is what you make of it, and the only way you'll be successful in life is if you're first successful in your mind. This is the foundation of a successful career in business. One of my favorite quotes (there's so many to chose from) from the book “A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind.”
