Current ninja reading material...
The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable
Why? Because the idea that events are not predictable is both fascinating and liberating. Taleb suggests that information can be misleading and that we can't know what we often assume we do know when we make decisions - a big leap forward for perfectionists who think they need to "collect all the data" before making a decision. The book is also very entertaining to read. Kitchen ninjas are loving this one! -

The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles
Why? Because Pressfield's book has wonderful nuggets of truth and encouragement to keep you on track.
The Art Of War
Why? Because Sun Tzu's ancient text also has wonderful nuggets of truth and encouragement to keep you on track.
Inside Delta Force: The Story of America's Elite Counterterrorist Unit
Why? Even though I've always considered myself a pacifist, Haney's book about the elite, counter-terrorist Delta Force is compelling and insightful, shows extreme compassion for others and intimately illustrates what it's like to challenge yourself to do what you're not entirely sure you're capable of doing. I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Highly recommended and ninja-worthy. -
