Summary of Jedidiah Jenkins's To Shake the Sleeping Self
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I told my friends and coworkers about my plan to cycle to Patagonia in 2011. Some were supportive, while others laughed. My parents were not happy about it. They were famous for their walk in the 1970s, and now I was following in their footsteps. #2 I knew I would be leaving as soon as I turned thirty, so I started preparing for the big adventure. I stopped feeling trapped and took on more responsibility. I didn’t do anything to prepare, though, because I was confident that I could ride a bike and learn as I went. #3 I had to leave my job in 2013, and I was thirty years old. I had looked down and it was time to leave. I had learned a valuable lesson: You are not an idiot. It’s okay if you don’t know everything. Don’t pretend. Ask all the questions you want. #4 I bought a bike that could get me to Chile. It was heavy but sturdy. I didn’t want a fancy carbon bike that would break if I was hit by a car or a bus. I bought panniers, which are saddlebags that you hang from the side of your bike, and a reflector pad to keep me warm at night.

Meditation For Fidgety Skeptics
*As heard on the Tim Ferriss Show podcast* 'Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics is well researched, practical, and crammed with expert advice and it's also an irreverent, hilarious page-turner.' - Gretchen Rubin ABC News anchor Dan Harris used to think that meditation was for people who collect crystals, play the pan pipes, and use the word namaste without irony. After he had a panic attack on live television, he went on a strange journey that ultimately led him to become one of meditation's most vocal public proponents. Science suggests that meditation can lower blood pressure, mitigate depression and anxiety, and literally rewire key parts of the brain, among numerous other benefits. And yet t...
