Man's Search for Meaning +5 other experts

Uses and recommends it · 1 episode

"One of my favorite books that I ran across, especially, maybe two books: Man's Search for Meaning. I was given this book a week before this happened... They were at a point so low that happiness was finding a small piece of rice or a pea in the bottom of a questionably watery soup. I was like, wow, that means your perception of what happy or blessed or thankful can be can be shifted so much."

The Alchemist +3 other experts

Uses and recommends it · 1 episode

"A year before this happened, I finished the book called The Alchemist. And to your point with the alchemy, this is you taking something that's so abstract and turning it into something beautiful... You could turn it into something very rare or something very beautiful by your attitude, by the way that you see it."

Tactical patience Health & fitness

Recommends it · 1 episode

"Don't hit the gas too soon before you get to your goal... So make sure you're paying attention to the resources and energy that you do have and don't squander them. Make sure you're [using] tactical patience. We could have taken off on the Verrazzano Bridge. We did — we walked up it."

What Cedric warns against

Things Cedric says to avoid or be careful with. Other experts don't always agree.

OxyContin

"For me it was one oxy... They're like so tiny. They're like the size of an Altoid mini. But I would take one and it would feel like I'm back. It felt terrific until it didn't. And then what used to take one oxy now takes two."

Oxycodone

"For me it was one oxy... I would take one and it would feel like I'm back. It felt terrific until it didn't. And then what used to take one oxy now takes two... I got up to maybe like a five-a-day habit... The pain was dying, but a part of me was dying, too."
