		<description><![CDATA[I recently read Christopher Moore&#8217;s Fluke: Or, I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings. As always, he delivers a clever, funny, entertaining work of fiction which should not be missed.In Fluke (a novel), Moore fuses elements of modern science and research (marine biology) with &#8220;magic&#8221; to come up with a new and refreshing blend of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently finished reading The Power of Full Engagement by Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz. As the subtitle indicates, &#8220;Managing Energy, Not Time, Is the Key to High Performance and Personal Renewal.&#8221;  
I found this book particularly interesting and useful, as it bucks the current &#8220;getting things done&#8221; and other &#8220;time management&#8221; trends, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t been paying as much attention to my personal blog, but have been rather active over at the corporate one instead. 
My 100 Push Ups progress has stalled in week 4, but I&#8217;m still doing them (albeit, sporadically).
Recently, I&#8217;ve been enjoying Aikido even more. I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of some private lessons with my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the suggestion of one of my online friends/fans, Forkmantis, I just finished reading The Mindbody Prescription: Healing the Body, Healing the Pain. This was a very insightful read, founded on the principle that the mind and body are one, and therefore physical manifestations of pain can controlled, and eliminated, by the brain. The theory [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once again, Christopher Moore fails to disappoint. Set again in the little town of Pine Cove (which you&#8217;ll remember from his first book, Practical Demonkeeping), Christopher Moore once again brings us a supernatural comedy that made me laugh at least every other page, if not on every page, in The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove.
He&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

I decide to read it after seeing the movie Peaceful Warrior with my friend Kent last fall. The Journeys of Socrates is the semi-fictional biography of Sergei Ivanov, the man who becomes Millman&#8217;s mentor in the Peacful Warrior. I won&#8217;t go into [...]]]></description>
