What book is on your nightstand now?
Right now I'm reading a book called Incognito, by David Eagleman, about the human brain. I've always been interested in psychology, so learning about the things that influence our thinking is really important for me. In bodybuilding, I was known for psyching out my opponents with mind tricks. I wish I had had this book then because the stuff I was doing was Mickey Mouse compared with what's in this book.
