Here are my 10 favorite quotes from the book: 1)

Recovering from knee surgery has been one of the most painful experiences of my life.

I went from being able to dunk to not being able to pick up my leg.

Here's a bit about my experience (and some tips if you're having surgery soon): 1) Start Prehab ASAP

Prehab = Physical therapy BEFORE your surgery

The stronger you get before surgery, the stronger you'll be coming out of it, and the faster you'll recover.

So as soon as you know you'll need surgery, get a prescription from your doc for prehab.

Here are 15 reading tips from 15 incredibly successful investors: Josh Brown (@Downtown) from The Reformed Broker:

I try to read as much as possible but these days, I’m down to maybe 10 books a year. I have two kids under 10 and I can’t lie down on a couch with a book knowing that they’re growing up so fast in the room next door.

I’ve resolved to get over the fact that I have to read less books during these years, and I’ll pick it back up to where I was in my 20’s as soon as they’re sick of me.

As far as material, I like anything historical - literature, biographies, novels. I stopped reading so many financial books because I feel like there isn’t that much more to be said about fear and greed that hasn’t already been written.

I don’t do the note taking thing anymore, although I will highlight sections on my kindle. I never remember to go back to them. I’m just trying to enjoy what I read now, it’s okay if I don’t retain every detail. Not sure you’re meant to.
