- Riding with Crispin (2018, 2021 GAP Trail, 2022 C&O Towpath) - Crispin Schamp, at over 70 years old, is the best cycling friend one can ask for. His cycling journals are on CrazyGuyOnABike.com.
- Taoism and Minimalism - Many great quotes about simple living in the ancient Chinese book "Tao Te Ching."
- The Psychology of Selling Things - My thoughts about downsizing your possessions and how it changed my mindset.
