Favorite Book: "Life Cycle Completed" by Erik Erikson

"Erik Erikson interests me. He writes with wisdom and he's a keen observer of human beings. As a former pro fighter, and now, as a high school math teacher, the psychosocial stages of people have always interested me. The night before I fought a tough 10-round draw with Oscar Albarado in The Olympic Auditorium in LA, I was reading--studying for my finals. It might've been Erikson I was reading. Boxing is the most elemental of sports. It offers a most unique vision of human beings."
