Grow Young with HGH by Ronald Klatz and Carol Kahn

Most readers will get 90% of the value of this book just from reading chapters 16-19, which deal with things you can do you increase/enhance your own GH levels naturally via diet, exercise, (non-pharmacological) supplements and other practices.  The bulk of the rest of the book covers "studies show" theories, explanations and speculations of how and by what mechanism GH works in the body, and since the book was published in 1997, I'm certain most of these studies have been either debunked or better explained by more recent research. Notes:   1) Key supplements to keep in mind:  Melatonin: for sleep/recovery from training Glutamine: up to 2,000 mg/day plus weight training L-Carnitine: one to two grams a day Ubiquinone (Co-enzyme Q10): 60 mg up to 100 mg. Chromium (binds to insulin) 200 micrograms per day Creatine: 45 g per day after heavy exercise Ginseng: for cognition and recovery from stress, 200 to 400 mg a day Dibencozide (coenzyme B12): 1000 micrograms a day Gamma Or...

How to Make Money in Any Market by Jim Cramer

Not Cramer's best, although there are insights here. I recommend instead two of Cramer's earlier works: Real Money: Sane Investing in an Insane World  and Getting Back to Even . The central idea in  How to Make Money in Any Market  is to structure your portfolio with roughly half of your assets in a low-fee S&P 500 index fund, and roughly the other half in five or so carefully researched "hero" stocks that are meant to be long-term secular growers and compounders over time. A remaining sliver of your portfolio should be in some sort of hedge: gold or Bitcoin [1] . Chapter 7 walks readers through this elegant portfolio structure.

Those Fabulous Greeks: Onassis, Niarchos, and Livanos by Doris Lilly

Fun and surprisingly rigorous biography of Aristotle Onassis, Stavros Niarchos and other great Greek entrepreneurs who dominated 20th century shipping. Onassis is the primary focus of the book. An Anatolian Greek who barely escaped the Greco-Turkish war with his life, Onassis made it to Buenos Aires with a few dollars in his pocket, and built a quick mini-fortune out of nothing in a matter of a few years. But it was in the decades to follow that he became one of the wealthiest men in the world, dominating global shipping. And then he shocked the world yet again, not just by marrying a Kennedy, but by marrying Jackie Kennedy.
