• Although these books were written almost 30 years ago, they draw upon an extensive review of personal success literature and present timeless, classic advice for developing yourself from the inside out.

• Both of these texts serve as pointers to spiritual insights and remind us of the divine everywhere.  Eckhart speaks in plain English and Hafiz, a 13th century Sufi writer, speaks in playful beautiful poetry.

• Crossfit is a functional fitness program that combines weightlifting, gymnastic, plyometrics, running, jumping, rope climbing, kettlebells and other fitness challenges for an intense and effective workout.  With many of these resources, I refrain from proclaiming "the best" and instead point to many that I think are good. Crossfit is different.  I think it is hands down the best fitness training regime around.  Click here for a more complete discussion of Crossfit as one of my favorite self improvement resources.

• On the Paleo diet, you eat like a caveman:  "Meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar" and avoid processed foods.  Zone principles prescribe eating some protein, some good carbs, and some good fats at each and every meal.

• First Things First, by Stephen Covey.  Discusses managing priorities.
