Blink

This book was phenomenal and eye opening.  If you have not read Malcolm Gladwell before well now is the time to start.  This book is a collection of research on how our brain makes decisions without us even realizing it.  Our mind is a powerful tool and can be trained to think without you thinking.  Many things can affect this ability in both positive and negative ways.  Too much adrenaline can cause this capability to become impaired while years of experience can greatly enhance this capability.   It is a powerful and interesting thing to think about and if you want truly learn through amazing stories and experiences of interesting people pick up a copy of Blink for your collection.
Malcolm Gladwell has a captivating writing style and you will learn something if you read this book.

So pick it up! 

Avatar the Awesomeness

Wow this has to be the best TV series of the last decade.  I am serious even though it is a cartoon we fell in love with the characters and the entire story.  If you haven't seen it I highly recommend this series.  You meet Ang the young Avatar who is destined to save the world from a war that has been going on for 100 years.  He is found by a brother sister Katara and Saka whose team includes a giant flying Bison (weird but cool) and a lemur named MoMo.  I won't give away the story but the characters especially Saka, Uncle Iro and Taf are hilarious and the story heart warming and meaningful.  It actually has a lot of Buddhist monk teaching which was interesting and a great feeling the entire way though.  

If you see one series (which I don't think I'm a real fan of anything currently on TV) Check this show out.
