5-Bullet Friday

Hi All!

Here is your weekly dose of “5-Bullet Friday,” a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.

What I’m watching —
Valentin Delluc: Speedriding in From Avoriaz with Love. This is one of the most terrifying and impressive things I’ve seen in years. Truly jaw-dropping, and the cinematography is gorgeous. Do yourself a favor, and instead of another cup of coffee, watch this three-minute video. Description: “This new project from speedriding pioneer Valentin Delluc [@valentindelluc] sees him flying into a deserted snow resort on his skis.”

What I’m drinking —
Ruby Hibiscus Water. Ruby unsweetened hibiscus water. 0g of sugar and 0 calories. Sometimes you just want a different flavor around, ya know? Thanks to Noah for the recommendation.

What I’m reading —
The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy (@charliemackesy). This short and beautiful book was gifted to me by my mom. “This book is for everyone, whether you are eighty or eight,” as the Introduction puts it. It looks like a children’s book, and you can read it in 30 minutes, but it’s replete with wisdom for adults. To give you an idea of how popular this book has become, it has 62,862 ratings on Amazon and an average of 5 stars.

What I’m daydreaming about as I wait my turn with vaccines —
The 50 Best Places to Travel in 2021.

Quote I’m enjoying —
“Good tests kill flawed theories; we remain alive to guess again.”
Karl Popper, one of the most influential philosophers of science of the twentieth century
(via Conor White-Sullivan, co-founder of Roam Research)

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

P.S. Deal of the Week — Pique Tea. I first learned about Pique through my friend Kevin Rose, who gave me some as a gift a few years ago. Their fermented pu’er tea has become an essential part of my daily routine. I drink both their black and green pu’er nearly every morning, and I take packets with me when I travel. This naturally fermented tea is more concentrated in polyphenol antioxidants than any other tea—it supports healthy digestion, a healthy immune system, and sustained focus.

Pique’s fermented pu’er tea crystals are cold extracted using wild-harvested leaves from 250-year-old tea trees. Critically, they also triple toxin screen their teas to ensure one of the highest levels of purity. This is important to minimize pesticides, etc. common in the tea world. Their cutting-edge extraction technology maximally preserves the health benefits, so you reap the benefits with zero prep, brewing, or waiting required. The fermented pu’er black tea is rich and earthy, and I love the fermented pu’er green tea. I often combine the two in a large, insulated mug and sip the cocktail on long walks. For a limited time, save between 15% and 25% (+ free U.S. shipping where eligible) on my favorite fermented pu’er teas. This is the biggest discount Pique has ever offered, and you won’t find it anywhere else. The discount is automatically applied when you use this special link: PiqueTea.com/TimFerriss.
