Welcome to Books and Bars Special Series.

I drop every Wednesday on the Sports Motivation podcast.

It's where I break down excerpts from my favorite books and bars for my favorite rap songs, rap lyrics.

Today I'm breaking down a book, all right?

One of my favorite books, I can remember when I read this book, it was a book that took me a long time to get through.

And the reason why I did is because it's very, very dense, a lot of great information. It's almost like a rich, like if you've ever had lobster bisque, you can't just scarf down lobster bisque.

Like you got to take, ooh, it's got, first of all, it's got some spice, but it's heavy,

it's rich, and not in a way that's heavy in a bad way, like eating a cheeseburger.

We're talking about, this is delicious, man.

You've got to savor this.

And that's how this book was for me.

And this book is from author named Mark Devine. U.S. Navy SEAL retired.

He served as a mentor to me. I had a great time meeting him in San Diego, doing his yoga class,

going out to eat, gave me some great advice. He's actually been the one who taught me how to do

the meditation that I use every morning.

That's been groundbreaking for me. And he's a very, very wise man. Sometimes when you meet people,

they emanate wisdom. It's hard to describe, but you just feel this calmness around them because

you know that they've been through a lot of life and they have a lot of wisdom to share. And that's one of those

people. And he has blessed the world with his wisdom in the form of his national bestseller

called The Way of the Seal. Think like an elite warrior to lead and succeed. This book should be

required reading for any leader, any athlete, and anyone looking to really

accomplish at a high level.
