Hi All!

Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring. Feel free to forward along if the spirit moves you.

This edition is brought to you by the ​Momentous performance stack​, which I helped co-create with Momentous. Be sure to see their offer in the P.S.

Phrase I’m enjoying

​Festina lente. Festina lente or speûde bradéōs (σπεῦδε βραδέως) is a classical adage and oxymoron meaning “make haste slowly.” It has been adopted as a motto numerous times, particularly by the emperors Augustus and Titus, then later by the Medicis and the Onslows. (Wikipedia)

Song I’m enjoying

“To Know You Is to Love You” by Greyboy (@im_greyboy) featuring Bart Davenport (@BARTDAVENPORT).

Science I’m tracking

“Could a Drug Prevent Hearing Loss from Loud Music and Aging?”

Article I’m reading

“Mini-retirements are all the rage, but what exactly does it entail — and can you afford to take one?” If you have any issues accessing, try this link.

Quote I’m pondering

“The secret is comprised in three words — Work, Finish, Publish.”
​— Michael Faraday, one of history’s most influential scientists, offering advice to the young William Crookes, who had asked him the secret of his success as a scientific investigator

You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with this clip of Cal Newport explaining “slow productivity”; this 2008 interview, in which I described how to take a mini-retirement; and my new podcast episode with bestselling author and historian Andrew Roberts.

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,

P.S. Deal of the Week — The Momentous Performance Stack​.

Momentous offers a broad spectrum of high-quality supplements and products, and my cabinet is full of them. I’ve been testing it all for months while training and traveling. Recently, I collaborated with their team to bundle my favorites into a “performance stack” that includes whey protein isolate, creatine monohydrate, and magnesium threonate. I chose these core products specifically for their mental, physical, and sleep benefits, targeting everything you need for better all-around performance. Momentous sources quality (e.g., Creapure), and all of their products are NSF and Informed Sport Certified, which is the gold standard in third-party testing. For a limited time, Momentous is offering 5-Bullet Friday subscribers a free custom shaker with your purchase to celebrate the launch of my performance stack.
