Cox Conley and Brown

Reading (listening to) "The Invisible Gorilla" right now. Talking and driving is a much more serious and widespread problem than we thought. No more of that for me. We look but see because we aren't looking for what we should see..

One I finished yesterday is "The Power of Slow" by Carl Honore. Try slowing down for better results. Do a gear-check; avoid multi-tasking - give each task 100% of your attention. Are you performing this task at the right pace? In the gym - take 20 seconds instead of 6 to lift the weight and your workouts can be shorter and your recovery faster and gains greater. His aha moment came when he saw an ad for 1 minute bedtime stories and thought how ridic that was. His 3 year old had caught him pruning bedtime stories before. Living in London, he cites examples of speed-yoga and even a drive-through-funeral to show what we've gotten to. In community and relationships, you can't speed things up - you have to take the time to get to know people.
