Learning
The pages below are the numerous sources I follow in order to push the limits of my thinking. Lots of these sources will discuss differing methods such as Tim Ferris who tests both plant-based and a meat-based diets in his book. If you want to change the way you think about the world, you have come to the right place.
Live Your Legend
If I could only share one thing on this page with you, it would be Live Your Legend. Live Your Legend is a community blog started by Scott Dinsmore about finding your passions and turning them into your career.
Tim Ferriss in The 4-Hour Workweek listed below, bases his entire book on the assumption that you do not love your job. Whereas Tim looks as ways to escape your job, Scott looks at ways to create a job from your passions in order to make a meaningful impact on the world. Scott has set up worldwide groups that meet every month to help newcomers and bounce ideas off of each other, created a toolbox that will allow you to transform your job into your passion, and embarked on a worldwide journey to travel with his wife and visit as many monthly groups as possible.
It is with great sadness that I tell you that Scott recently died in a freak accident while climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. I could try to express how much of a loss this is to the world, and most importantly, Scott's family, but Leo Babauta does a better job than I ever could. I only found out about Scott after seeing Leo's recent post, and yet, Scott's life has made a bigger impact on my life than all the resources below. Please take 5 minutes out of your day to see how scott lived more in his 30 years than most people do in their entire life.

The 4-Hour Workweek is Tim Ferriss' first book. It discusses how to eliminate work for work's sake, and to trim down your life so you can pursue your passions. He also writes The 4-Hour Body and The 4-Hour Chef.

TED Ed is by far the easiest and most helpful learning resource for general education. Through simple cartoons and engaging language, TED Ed brings knowledge on every topic imaginable to a level everyone can understand. TED Ed goes hand in hand with TED Talks, speeches that share ideas to change the world.

Often, the answer to any questions we have can arise from taking a different perspective. The University of Pennsylvania's Psychology Department did just that when they shifted their focus from solving psychological disorders to studying why people are happy and what we can do to make more people happy.

For any of you interested in language learning, I highly recommend the book Fluent Forever. This book goes hand in hand with Anki Flashcards, which use pictures to more efficiently teach you language. Also, Tim Ferriss, Memrise and Duolingo are good resources for pushing the boundaries of your linguistic knowledge.
