Tim Ferriss - 5-Bullet Friday — July 15, 2022
|
|||
Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring. If you enjoy it, please feel free to forward this along to friends.
Short video I’m revisiting
My philosophy for a happy life | Sam Berns | TEDxMidAtlantic. This video hit me really hard. Despite some tears, it was exactly the reset I needed. This kid is a total stud. Just watch it, and do not rush. Also, do *not* read the description beforehand, only afterward.
Article I’m reading
“Panpsychism is crazy, but it’s also most probably true” by Philip Goff (@Philip_Goff).
Compound I’m studying
Spermidine. Long-ass story, but this pops up on a podcast soon. The conversation provoked a fascination and a lot of worthwhile questions.
What I’m watching
Wind River (Amazon, YouTube), written and directed by the incredible Taylor Sheridan, co-creator of Yellowstone. This is an excellent but very dark movie. It received a lengthy eight-minute standing ovation at the end of its premiere in the Un Certain Regard competition of the Cannes film festival. Description: “A chilling murder mystery set in the icy backwoods of a Native American Reservation, starring Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner (@JeremyRenner).” You can find the trailer here. Not suitable for family viewing.
Quote I’m pondering
“And now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good.”
— John Steinbeck, East of Eden
And, as always, please give me feedback on Twitter. Which bullet above is your favorite? What do you want more or less of? Other suggestions? Please let me know. Just send a tweet to @tferriss and put #5BulletFriday at the end so I can find it.
You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my mind-bending interview with Donald Hoffman, professor emeritus of cognitive sciences at the University of California, Irvine; this video of Dr. Peter Attia discussing rapamycin, a most curious drug; and this clip with iconic fiction author (e.g., The Handmaid’s Tale) Margaret Atwood.
Have a wonderful weekend, all.
Much love to you and yours,
Tim
P.S. Deal of the Week — MANSCAPED, the best in men’s grooming!
This paragraph gives me an adolescent glee to include. Ready? Here goes: MANSCAPED is bringing you the total package to ensure your package is the perfect package. No, I didn’t come up with that line… but I tested and loved their products, so I can vouch that I’m still intact and ready for my centerfold shoot. Was it scary? Yes. Was it worth it? Also yes. My girlfriend makes the effort, so I figured it was only fair. MANSCAPED is the most effective way to keep clean, pristine, and looking like a dream through the sweatiest summer months. The Perfect Package 4.0 is the ultimate grooming kit that includes everything you need for optimal below-the waist hygiene. Use their precision-engineered Lawn Mower 4.0—yes, “Lawn Mower”—electric trimmer to remove excess and avoid the dreaded swamp crotch. Feel confident in trimming hard-to-reach areas with MANSCAPED’s SkinSafe technology, which helps reduce the risk of nicks and snags. You can follow up your trim with the Crop Preserver ball deodorant, which provides a residue-free chafing barrier—A RESIDUE-FREE CHAFING BARRIER, YOU HEATHENS!—for your most sensitive parts.
