Review of 'Healing back pain' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I was recently talking to someone about this book. I spent years with debilitating back pain and I was only in my 20s at the time. I was frustrated because I could never figure out why I was at times having back pain that left me lying on the living room floor. I heard about this book on a talk radio show and after trying all sorts of things from chiropractic to my family doctor I gave this book a shot. This book changed by life.
As soon as I was partially through the book I began to just do things that before I was afraid to try anymore, I went back to traditional strength training, deadlifts and barbell squats, all things I avoided, I avoided anything that might tax my back for fear of being barely able to walk, because in the past they had, although I told myself …

As soon as I was partially through the book I began to just do things that before I was afraid to try anymore, I went back to traditional strength training, deadlifts and barbell squats, all things I avoided, I avoided anything that might tax my back for fear of being barely able to walk, because in the past they had, although I told myself they would before I did them.
Twenty years later this book came up in conversation with a new friend, as it has many times over the years. I am still doing strength training and now I even run marathons and my back is no longer an issue.
Enjoyable to read and inform oneself on what we currently know about Dinosaurs. This podcast directly relates to some of the subject matter. If you enjoyed or are enjoying this book, give this episode a listen. 99percentinvisible.org/episode/welcome-to-jurassic-art/

Review of 'My year of running dangerously' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I saw a lot of similarities to my own thinking within the pages of this book. I have thought about an ultra marathon since training for a marathon. My kids are slightly younger and I also have more of them than Tom, so I do not think I could possibly find the time. I already am out the door some mornings by 4am, so I can relate to trying to get the miles in. This was a great read.

Review of 'Born to Run' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This book exceeded my expectations. I learned a lot about Bruce Springsteen and I learned a lot about the songs he wrote, the songs that I love and the stories I love. I have always felt a connection to his music, sometimes a part of the story hit close to home, sometimes not but the story still spoke to me.
Review of 'The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks & Win Your Inner Creative Battles' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
I wish I would have read more reviews before deciding to read this one. This excerpt from another review describes the book perfectly - Reading this book is like fishing through a landfill site for diamonds; they're there, just buried under mountains of crap. The book is loaded with references to every religion under the Sun as well as a lot of angel and muse talk, as well as other superstitious nonsense. Also, as a professional in my field, I can say there was some advice that could be considered poor advice. I got very little from this book and I am uncertain how this ended up on my "to Read" shelf. Thankfully it is a short read. I got the impression the author had a lot more issues committing to doing actual work than I have ever had, based off his references to his prior work experience and his …
