Beginning this year, 2017, at the start of each week I’m going to post a list of 3 to 4 things I’m reading, watching, listening to and a film I’ve seen that I highly recommend. I’m calling it ”Adrian’s Monday Starter.” To kickstart the year, here is my first Monday Starter. How exciting!

What I’m reading: Austin Kleon’s “Steal Like an Artist”. Brilliant, inspiring and true.

What I’m watching: The Crown on Netflix. At the end of each episode I find myself speaking in a posh British accent. Endlessly compelling.

What I’m listening to: Tim Ferriss’ podcast “What I learned in 2016.” If you need some energising and affecting words to kickstart the year — Tim’s most recent podcast should be useful.

Go see: Lion the movie. Beautiful and uplifting. Dev Patel absolutely nails the Australian accent.

Red!

The city and the countryside. Side by side.

“We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” — T.S. Eliot
