Po Bronson & Ashley Merryman: Top Dog--The Science of Winning and Losing (HB/DJ)
08 June 2016
Thought-Provoking and Very Well Researched
This book goes into great detail about the real science involved in competition. The way humans compete and ultimately win or lose is incredibly detailed. Bronson and Merryman have done a tremendous job of diving into the subject and finding many different sources and experiments on the concept of competition.
It also gives you insight as to how you can determine how well you compete with others, which gives you the chance to look into putting yourself into situations where you can thrive.
Highly recommended book for anyone who is interested in the thought-provoking scientific theories and facts behind the forces of competition. A tough book to put down!

Incredible Story Like No Other
The Gospel According to Jesus Christ was my first introduction to José Saramago. It was an incredible story to follow. Saramago truly shines as a Biblical scholar in this book, as he does with many other pieces of literature. Jesus is a very compelling character in this book.
Don't even give it a second look. I highly recommend this book as a way to think outside the box and to keep the mind open and sharp. 5 stars!
