Tim Ferriss - 5-Bullet Friday — March 31, 2023
|
|||
Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.
Book that I couldn’t put down
Saga: Compendium One. This is a raucous masterpiece! After two close friends recommended it within 48 hours, I bit the bullet. I haven’t read graphic novels in ages, but this NSFW gem blew me away. I tore through it in two days. It’s rare that both the writing and artwork grab me, but this did it. Deep bow and “More please!” to Brian K. Vaughan (@briankvaughan), Fiona Staples (@fionastaples), and FONOGRAFIKS. Don’t let the page count scare you, as it moves quickly with the artwork. Think of it as a 150–175-page book.
Clip I’m enjoying
“Elite Powerlifter Pretended to be a FAKE TRAINER | Anatoly Aesthetics in Public” via Dr. Pollo y Piña.
Song I’m listening to again and again
“Ya Habibi Ta’ala - يا حبيبي تعالَ” (YouTube, SoundCloud) performed by Lynn Adib (@lynnadib) and Zeid Hamdan (@ZeidHamdan).
Blog posts I’m reading
“The Big Picture” and “The Ladder” by Tim Urban (@waitbutwhy), one of my favorite writers on the entire web.
Poem I’m pondering
A Morning Offering
I bless the night that nourished my heart
To set the ghosts of longing free
Into the flow and figure of dream
That went to harvest from the dark
Bread for the hunger no one sees.
All that is eternal in me
Welcomes the wonder of this day,
The field of brightness it creates
Offering time for each thing
To arise and illuminate.
I place on the altar of dawn:
The quiet loyalty of breath,
The tent of thought where I shelter,
Waves of desire I am shore to
And all beauty drawn to the eye.
May my mind come alive today
To the invisible geography
That invites me to new frontiers,
To break the dead shell of yesterdays,
To risk being disturbed and changed.
May I have the courage today
To live the life that I would love,
To postpone my dream no longer
But do at last what I came here for
And waste my heart on fear no more.
— John O’Donohue
You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my interview with Tim Urban, my conversation with elite powerlifter Dr. Stefi Cohen, and the two podcast appearances of legendary comic book artist Todd McFarlane (episode #639 and episode #643).
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.
Have a wonderful weekend, all.
Much love to you and yours,
Tim
