What I’m reading: I know I shared this last week but I am still reading this and returning to sections that I find really useful. I particularly like the tools around exercise. Gosh, now I’m quite sore but thoroughly enlightened! Tools of Titans, the tactics, routines, and habits of billionaires, icons, and world-class performers by Tim Ferriss. Yes, read it.

What I’m watching: How Great Leaders Inspire Action by Simon Sinek. Probably one of the best Ted Talks I’ve seen. I’ve watched it about 15 times over the last couple of years.

What I’m listening to: No Hollywood for the Visual-Effects Industry on Freakonomics Radio. This podcast is always fascinating to listen to during long drives in the car no matter what the topic is.

Go see: Silence the movie. This film runs for almost 3 hours and can be quite laborious at times. But it’s a deeply thoughtful and revealing look at spirituality/religion and human nature. Fantastic performance by Andrew Garfield. You do forget that he is Spiderman/Peter Parker. :-)

I love food. I wish I was a better cook. I think I can be. I’m good at following recipes.  And I do have a couple of dishes that I can cook well. I just need to add more to my repertoire.

What I’m reading: Tools of Titans, the tactics, routines, and habits of billionaires, icons, and world-class performers by Tim Ferriss. — Fascinating. Mind boggling. Useful.

What I’m watching: Do Schools Kill Creativity? on Ted Talks. — I’m watching this for the nth time. So profound. It’s been viewed over 40 million times.

What I’m listening to: “Is the American Dream Really Dead?” by Freakonomics Radio.

Go see: Perfetti Sconosciuti “Perfect Strangers” — Enjoyably good. It’s impossible to remain indifferent.

What I’m reading: “How to do what you love and make good money” by Derek Sivers.

What I’m watching: Stranger Things on Netflix. I don’t know why I keep watching it before bed. It scares me!

What I’m listening to: Neil Patel’s Marketing School podcast. Easy to digest, bite-sized chunks of useful SEO stuff I know nothing about.

A quote I’m pondering on: ”When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” — Lao Tzu

“Still life”: a painting or drawing of an arrangement of objects, typically including fruit and flowers and objects contrasting with these in texture, such as bowls and glassware. It’s an interesting description since I find that anything I photograph becomes still. A moment of stillness is captured even if it is of a moving object. A still photograph is life frozen in time.
