A- Sacrificing sleep
1-Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams
Matthew Walker (Author), Steve West (Narrator), Simon & Schuster Audio (Publisher)
The first sleep book by a leading scientific expert — Professor Matthew Walker, director of UC Berkeley’s Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab — reveals his groundbreaking exploration of sleep, explaining how we can harness its transformative power to change our lives for the better.
Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don’t sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life — eating, drinking, and reproducing — the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

E- Can’t Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds
David Goggins (Author, Narrator), Adam Skolnick (Narrator), Lioncrest Publishing (Publisher)
For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare — poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world’s top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him The Fittest (Real) Man in America.
In Can’t Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.
