This book by A. Westbrook and O. Ratti came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Maurice Ashley. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“One of the greatest books I've ever read All right, it's called Aikido in the Dynamic Sphere. It's by O Ratti”— Maurice Ashley
