CRAIG’S LIST (stuff I’m reading or listening to)
- How one man went from a life prison sentence to a $100k+ engineering job – by Zachary Crockett, Oct 19, 2019. Great turnaround story from “The Hustle” (subscribe to their daily email): “In 1996, Zachary Moore committed a murder. Today, he’s a computer engineer at a Silicon Valley tech firm. Here’s how he got there.” As a country, we CAN do a better job at rehabilitating convicts – we have to, or we’ll run out of room and money to care for them. I think CrossFit can help too.
- “It’s the dirty little secret that everybody knows about” – Baxter Holmes, ESPN. This is a very eye-opening article about how a lack of sleep is impacting player health and performance in the NBA – and the owners know. Now, what about YOU?
- GET READY FOR OUR NOVEMBER CHALLENGE: “The Critical Importance of Time Restricted Eating in Weightloss” – Dr. Jason Fung. “..the bottom line is this. We focus nearly obsessively on the question of ‘What to Eat’… Let’s face it, the answer changes every few years, according to who you ask. But an equally important question lies almost completely unanswered. What effect does meal timing have on obesity and other metabolic parameters? Quite a lot, it turns out.”
