I’ve been struggling with inspiration on article topics so I thought this would be a good time to recommend some books.  I’ve read a number of really good books lately and here are my favorites.

Tabloid Medicine: How the Internet is Being Used to Hijack Medical Science for Fear and Profit –  As I said in my Amazon review I’m certainly not a fan of Big Pharma or the medical establishment.  They both have a lot of problems, but I am a fan of science and progress.  This is an extremely well argued book and whatever your perspective you should take Golberg’s arguments seriously.

Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase to Catch Lincoln’s Killer –  This was a superb and compelling read about the hunt for John Wilkes Booth.  If you are at all interested in history and biography, this is a really good read.

We Have Met the Enemy: Self-Control in an Age of Excess –  A wide-ranging look at the topic of self-control in the modern world of excess.  This book is a very enjoyable read and is densely packed with information and analysis.  I really liked it.

Succeed: How We Can Reach Our Goals –  I read a lot of books like this and Heidi Halvorson has produced a truly superior product with this book. Every chapter is clearly composed, filled with stories and examples, describes the research behind the conclusions, and ends with a bulleted summary of the key concepts. 

The Rational Optimist: How Prosperity Evolves –  A very persuasively argued book on why we should be optimistic about the future.  A counter to the overwhelmingly negative doomsday predictions that are so popular right now.

Supercoach: 10 Secrets to Transform Anyone’s Life –  Michael Neill’s self-improvement books are really outstanding and this one is my favorite.  I can highly recommend this book without reservation.

Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It (Borzoi Books) – If you want a clearly written explanation of why we get fat (it’s not calories) and what is wrong with our modern agricultural diet, look no further.  For a fantastic and really enjoyable book that is more broadly focused try The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet.

The Immortality Edge: Realize the Secrets of Your Telomeres for a Longer, Healthier Life –  If you are interested in healthy aging I highly recommend this book.  It was one of the best I’ve read on the topic.

Don’t Miss Your Life: Find More Joy and Fulfillment Now –  This is an incredibly inspiring book about engaging and participating in life.  A lot of practical tips.
