I enjoyed this video of Rory McIlroy on stoicism.
It turns out that he is a fan of two of Ryan Holiday’s books:
Crazy how much golf is a mind game (played with yourself).
As of this post, I have not read the third book mentioned.

The foreword to Story Craft (by John Erickson) was penned by writer and intellectual, Nancy Pearcy.
In college I read her book Total Truth – which I remember enjoying greatly.
Here’s to rereading it and dissecting it on this blog one day (soon?).
How great that a children’s fiction author I read as a child, wrote non-fiction that I enjoyed as an adult, with a foreword by a philosopher I read as a teenager.
Like I said: I enjoy it when people I like, enjoy other people I like.
I met John in person for the first time while visiting my parents in Lubbock, Texas. On arriving, I praised the Hank books to my mother (who has a Ph.D. in education) and to our amazement, the newspaper announced that John was slated to present a program at the local library the very next day.
