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 reading (short) —
The Four Buddhist Mantras for Turning Fear into Loveby Maria Popova (@brainpicker). Thanks to JZ for the recommendation.

What I’m reading (longer) —
This Oddball Chef Wants to Serve You Wild Animals by Daniel Duane (@danielduane) for Outside. Josh Skenes and I became friends circa 2011, just before the creation of The 4-Hour Chef, and he appears extensively in its pages. I love his unorthodox approaches to both cooking and life. He’s still pushing the envelope. Trigger warning (pun intended): if you’re vegetarian or vegan, this article might not make for the most compatible reading. But if it whets your appetite, you can find more wild tales from Josh in my podcast interview with him.

Documentary I’m revisiting —
RBG. Description: “At the age of 85, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has developed a lengthy legal legacy while becoming an unexpected pop culture icon. Explore her unique and unknown personal journey of her rise to the nation’s highest court.” May she rest in peace.

What I’m listening to —
Endangered Species (YouTube, Spotify) by Nickodemus (Raeo Remix)

Quote I’m pondering —
“Like our stomachs, our minds are hurt more often by overeating than by hunger.” (Ut stomachis sic ingeniis nausea sepius nocuit quam fames.)
Petrarch

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 — Laird Superfood. I love Laird Superfood products—their creamers especially—and was introduced to them years ago by famed performance coach Kelly Starrett, as well as the founders, big-wave surfing legend Laird Hamilton and volleyball champion Gabby Reece. Two of my favorites are their Turmeric Superfood Creamer and Unsweetened Superfood Creamer. I put one of them in practically everything. A tablespoon upgrades your daily coffee or tea in an instant. Best of all, you can get 20% off for a limited time when you use code TIM20 at checkout.

Their products are 100% plant based; include ingredients like extra-virgin coconut oil, which has naturally occurring MCTs; and come in flavors like cacao, original, and turmeric. Simply stir, power-froth, or blend into your cup of coffee, and you have an instant, functional superfood latte. Check out LairdSuperfood.com/Tim to see some of my favorite products and learn more. This cannot be combined with other offers, and some exclusions apply.
