He's written a lot of books, such as Everyday Tao, Scholar Warrior, and Chronicles of Tao.

i havent seen it in years and years but somewhere in scholar warrior when hes talking about training he basically says training is don with the same intensity as real fighting
notw this is obvious to someone who already fully understands it hut atthe time i had too great of an emphasis on the

front snap kick 1
front snap kick 2
front snap kick 3

method of training technique and not enough emphasis on the "fight your way out of a group of four people using only 1,2 punches and front snap kicks and do it with real fight intensity" method of training

that one single sentence opened me up to a whole next level of ability.
thanks for mentioning him because i had forgotten completely

No problem, man He does have a way of saying things simply and clearly that not a lot of word are necessary.

I've been reading William James lately, but for me it has to be a coin toss between Plato and Robert C. Solomon. Solomon writes about emotions in great detail, and that is my field of interest, but Plato is special to me in that I find his writing style to be the most pleasing out of all of those I have read.

On the flip side, I don't care too much for Spinoza or Charles Peirce, not because of the content of their arguments, but because of the style of their writing.

how did i miss this thread?

my favorite philosopher.... easy myself

Alan Watts is probably my favorite, though I really enjoy Slavoj Zizek.
