Props to ⁦@hbryant42⁩. Been reading his Rickey Henderson biography lately and it has inspired me. Played a lot as a young man, and am now in my second season of competitive adult baseball, but last night was my first time stealing home. ⁦@KCHustlers⁩ #RunLikeRickey      источник

A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America
Joe Posnanski - 2007-02-27
Рейтинг Goodreads
Take a journey through America's pastime with The Soul of Baseball. Renowned sports columnist Joe Posnanski spends the 2005 season touring the country with legendary Negro League player Buck O'Neil. Buck's relentless optimism, passion for jazz and baseball, and dedication to playing solely for love are inspiring. Posnanski offers uplifting life lessons from a truly extraordinary man, a salve for the damaged spirit created by greedy, steroid-enhanced athletes that have infiltrated professional ball.

I just reread ⁦@JPosnanski⁩’s “Buck book” and it’s still fantastic. Like a meditation in resilience and optimism. If you’ve never read it, you probably should.      источник

Jennifer Government
Max Barry - 2004-02-05 (впервые опубликовано в 2002)
Рейтинг Goodreads
A world where taxation is abolished and the government is privatized is explored in this satirical thriller. Employees take on their company's surname and credit cards are a necessity. Follow the story of a Merchandising Officer caught up in shooting customers for street cred and the government agent, Jennifer Government, trying to save the day. With a witty commentary on globalization and marketing tactics, this outrageous novel is a must-read.

A few years ago, @DianaKander introduced me to “Jennifer Government” and it instantly became one of my favorite books. This post by the author, @MaxBarry, is pretty great.      источник

Как выжить в мире тотального одиночества
Sebastian Junger - 2016-05-24
Рейтинг Goodreads
Описание книги Почему у жителей мегаполисов все чаще диагностируют депрессию без видимых причин? Почему панические атаки давно стали приметой нашего времени? Почему симптомы пост-травматического расстройства проявляются у тех, кто не получил никакой травмы? Чем болеет наше общество? На эти вопросы самым неожиданным образом отвечает военный журналист и режиссер Себастьян Юнгер. Его выступление на конференции ТЕД заставило буквально рыдать часть слушателей, а у части вызвало праведный гнев. Эта книга, ставшая продолжением лекций и научных статей Юнгера, объясняет, как устройство современного общества влияет на психику человека. Обращаясь к антропологии, автор убедительно доказывает: нас травмируют не войны, личные потери или природные катаклизмы – нас травмирует разобщенность. И доказав это, он дает простой и одновременно бесконечно сложный рецепт исцеления.

After years of people recommending it, I finally picked up Tribe by @SebastianJunger. I’m halfway done and it’s already the best non-fiction book I’ve read in years.      источник
