Name: Don Turner

Favorite Book: "The Human Animal" by Phil Donahue

"As a boxing trainer, I need to understand all aspects and levels of a fighter's mind, body and spirit. What makes a fighter tick? Well, I found this book which is based upon a five-part program on human behavior, and it examines the question of why we behave as we do. The issues discussed are "Love and Sex," "Nature and Nurture," "War and Violence," Woman and Man," and "Family and Survival." I might be a boxing expert, but this book contains contributions by more than 50 experts in anthropology, psychiatry, education, sexual therapy, primate research, biology, and linguistics. I read the book, listen to them, and I've become a better trainer for my fighters."
