Why Be A Boxer instead of a fencer? Because without the sword, the fencer is not dangerous. A boxer's weapons are embodied. The boxer is the weapon. At any time and in any scenario, the boxer is effective and, when needed, lethal. Becoming the weapon of your choice requires years of dedication and a relentless commitment to disciplined, incremental growth over time. Pain is the price of admission. Be A Boxer offers men axioms to consider as they carve out their place in life. Historical wisdom is an antidote to toothless bumper stickers and coffee mug bromides. The way isn't through self-improvement but self-denial.How lifting heavy weights makes you smarter - our system of systemsHow to sketch an effective plan for anything, based on joint military processesHow to focus - why about 20% of things matter and 80% are irrelevantThe Start One-Stop One technique for sucking lessReprogramming the unseen autopilot - the role of neurology to make life smootherWhy less is more and most of what's good is just the absence of badStress is goodSelf-smarting - how to read a book and learn on your ownThe bait-and-switch of hedonistic self-indulgence that ends in slaveryA psychological map of what makes humans tick and the phases of lifeHow to clear space in your headDo what you're doing - the multi-dimensional beauty of the task at handThe Cosmic Joke and the perils of taking yourself too seriouslySummum Bonum - why we must connect for the common good.…
