Books
Viktor E. Frankl: Man's Search for Meaning
Written by a survivor of the Nazi concentration camps. The book examines why having a purpose in life is not merely important to happiness, it is essential to survival. A 1991 reader survey by the Library of Congress and the Book-of-the-Month Club that asked readers to name a "book that made a difference in your life" found Man's Search for Meaning among the ten most influential books in America.Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi: Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience
Csikszentmihalyi, a professor of psychology, has written several excellent books about "flow," which is a state of optimal mental & physical performance. Athletes experience it with a sense that time has slowed down, performance is effortless, and they can do nothing wrong. Csikszentmihalyi discusses how to find flow in all aspects of life.Mark Rippetoe: Starting Strength (2nd edition)
The best book ever on the basic strength lifts: Back Squat, Bench Press, Deadlift, Shoulder Press, & Power Clean. A must read for every dedicated CrossFitter.Mark Rippetoe And Lon Kilgore: Practical Programming for Strength Training

The story of how a fantastic coach, focusing on character development, turned a small Catholic high school in northern California into the nation's #1 ranked HS football teamJim Thompson: The Double-Goal Coach: Positive Coaching Tools for Honoring the Game and Developing Winners in Sports and Life
I met the author at a conference in 2004, and he so impressed me that I ordered all of his books. This book is not only the best resource I've ever seen on the psychology of effective coaching, it is also a manual for getting the best out of yourself. I recommend it to anyone who wants to improve themselves and to everyone who teaches or leads anything: parents, teachers, executives. I read it at least once a year.
