Thats awesome you listen to SGU Some books Id recommend that accommodate your interest in science and skepticism: A Demon Haunted World by Carl SaganThe World as I See it by Albert EinsteinSurely Youre Joking, Mr. Feynman by Richard FeynmanA Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant Mindfreak by Criss Angel (random I know, but he makes great points concerning skepticism and credulity)The View From Nowhere by Thomas NagelConjectures and Refutations by Karl PopperAlso, Id be wary of Jordan Peterson. The man knows what hes talking about when it comes to psychology, however he tends to dabble in wingnut incel lunacy when straying from his field of knowledge. He casts doubts on the empirical evidence for anthropogenic climate change, for example. Take what he says with a grain of salt when its not concerning psychology and youll get the best out of him. Cheers

Based on your comment on vitamins I think you are missing a lot of biomedical literature. Read Life Extension: A practical Scientific Approach by Pearson & Shaw, as a good introduction and then if you are interested you can look up some of literature in the appendices or go to Life Extension Foundation's website and read some of the abstracts at the end of their health protocols or even pull up the primary literature. Life Extension. has been out of print for a while but it is easy to get a used copy from Amazon and it is still the most comprehensive introduction to the subject even though it was published in 1982. Of course a lot of new information has been researched, especially on phytochemicals and in the area of molecular biology and genetics since then.

A lot of people will probably suggest you read non-fiction or self development books but I have found that when I want to do more reading I am more engaged with fiction. Fiction is just as valuable so long as you stay away from the pop side of it. I am always so enriched by the way authors are able to communicate feelings in a way that I have never been able to. Also, a lot of popular non-fiction isn't very original or something that hasn't really been said before, a lot of it can be summarized in a YouTube video and I always feel like I'm wasting my time where as you cannot replace the experience of reading fiction. I was able to read 40 books in a three month time period by balancing out the genres. Hope you see this and this helps

In this video Jeff explains that his favorite paper on periodization is Periodization Paradigms In the 21st Century: Evidence-Led or Tradition Driven? by John Kiely. Here's his favorite quote from that paper: Training variation is a critical component of long-term planning, but if adaptive energy is too widely distributed, gains may be excessively diluted. This points to two programming mistakes that are commonly made: 1. Never switching things up (with the only variable being progressive overload. 2. Excessively switching things up, so that you basically lose progression. The solution is to vary your program periodically. You can follow the same program for 6 to 8 weeks, and then switch things up.

Your book taste make me think you would like Factfulness, by Hans Rosling. But as just general recommendations, I would rate Homo Sapiens (as well as Homo Deus, from Yuval Harari, very highly. In sci-fi-ish, I really liked the Nexus trilogy, by Ramez Naam, as well as the Three Body Problem, by Cixin Liu. I loved reading Becoming, by Michelle Obama, as well as Dreams from my Father, by Barack Obama, and Born a crime, by Trevor Noah. Depending on your taste, I may have a lot more recommendations, but those are some recent favorites of mine.

Hey Jeff, Thank you for all of the content that you share in your videos. Its rare to see such a knowledgeable individual that shares so much well spoken information freely to the public. As far as books, heres a list of my favorites that I would advocate you or anyone else read: The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings Trilogy by JRR Tolkien The Prince by Machiavelli The Apology by Plato The Nameless City by HP Lovecraft The Art of War by Sun Tzu The Rules of Work by Richard Templar (this one is great for those in a business/office environment)

Hey Jeff, I noticed you watch Kane B. As someone whos been studying philosophy for a very long time I strongly suggest reading An Introduction to Metametaphysics by Tuomas E. Tahko. Its absolutely mind blowing as it teaches you the import of truth-making and truth appropriating terms like being and Truth and TRUTH, and teaches you exactly how to perform philosophy professionally as well as informs the scientific mindset. It might be exactly what youre looking for to improve your scientific analyses

I understood people doing crossfit have very slow gaining even though they work really hard. They switch their workout everyday. Of course, crossfit athletes are really skilled in all kind of exercises. However, they used to do other fitness for several years and have done it for many years as well. To sum up, if you are a truly beginner, crossfit might not be a good choose unless you are about to join military service.

I've really got to recommend reading Resilience by NBA legend and HOF'er, Alonzo Mourning. He wrote a self biography a few years ago, an easy 230 page read) that details many experiences through his life and NBA career, including his hard faught battle with serious kidney disease, which he came back from, trained his body strong again and returned to the court and won and NBA title with the Miami Heat in 2006.
