Hi All!

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

Book I’m reading

​AMORALMAN: A True Story and Other Lies by Derek DelGaudio (@derek_del). From the description: “Derek DelGaudio believed he was a decent, honest man. But when irrefutable evidence to the contrary is found in an old journal, his memories are reawakened and Derek is forced to confront—and try to understand—his role in a significant act of deception from his past.” Hat tip to Dr. Mark Plotkin for recommending this book to me. I’ve previously mentioned Derek in 5BF for his amazing one-man show, In & Of Itself.

Short article I’m reading

“Can’t cook, won’t cook? Here are the tips that saved me from a life of terrible meals.” by Elle Hunt (@elle_hunt).

Track I’m listening to

“Black Out the Sun” (YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music) by Sevendust (@Sevendust). Sevendust has been one of my favorite bands forever, and they are one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen. I only experienced the latter for the first time a few months ago with Dave “The Snapping Turtle of Metal” Elitch. Here are a few pics from the aftermath: Dave Elitch and Clint Lowery.

Socks I used during my Antarctica trip

​Terramar Thermasilk Over-the-Calf Sock Liner (Amazon, official website). “Over forty years ago, Terramar was the first company to introduce silk performance base layer products. Thermasilk® is still going strong. The sock liner offers a natural, super soft touch and feel with all the technology you need. The result is a breathable, lightweight layer that keeps you warm, dry, and comfortable for all your outdoor adventures.”

Quote I’m pondering

“Dogmatism and skepticism are both, in a sense, absolute philosophies; one is certain of knowing, the other of not knowing. What philosophy should dissipate is certainty, whether of knowledge or ignorance.” ​
— Bertrand Russell​
​

​
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 — Dry Farm Wines!

I love drinking wine with friends, but I hate the next-day side effects. Hangovers, headaches, and sluggishness often result from excessive sugar, high alcohol content, and toxic additives that you find in many store-bought wines. Dry Farm Wines is the only additive-free, lab-tested, natural wine subscription that I trust for organic wines that meet my health standards. Practically sugar-free, low in alcohol, and organically grown by small family farms, each glass of wine from Dry Farm Wines does less damage on multiple levels. According to Forbes, “Dry Farm Wines makes ‘natural’ wine accessible to all.” But don’t take their word for it. Get an extra bottle in your first box for just one extra penny when you sign up today. Check out all the details and learn more at DryFarmWines.com/Tim.

This episode is brought to you by Dry Farm Wines. I’m a wine drinker, and I love a few glasses over meals with friends. That said, I hate hangovers.

All Dry Farm Wines are laboratory tested for purity standards by a certified, independent enologist, and all of their wines are also backed by a 100% Happiness Promise—they will either replace or refund any wine you do not love. Last but not least, I find delicious wines I never would have found otherwise. It’s a lot of fun.

​Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Stewart Copeland — Fear{less} with Tim Ferriss​

Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, where it is my job to deconstruct world-class performers to tease out the routines, habits, et cetera that you can apply to your own life.

You’ll get plenty of that in this special episode, which features my interview with Stewart Copeland from my 2017 TV Show Fear{less}. The “less” is in parentheses because the objective is to teach you to fear less, not to be fearless.

Fear{less} features in-depth, long-form conversations with top performers, focusing on how they’ve overcome fears and made hard decisions, embracing discomfort and thinking big.

It was produced by Wild West Productions, and I worked with them to make both the video and audio available to you for free, my dear listeners. You can find the video of this episode on YouTube.com/TimFerriss, and eventually you’ll be able to see all episodes for free at YouTube.com/TimFerriss.

Spearheaded by actor/producer and past podcast guest Vince Vaughn, Wild West Productions has produced a string of hit movies including The Internship, Couples Retreat, Four Christmases, and The Break-Up.

In 2020, Wild West produced the comedy The Opening Act, starring Jimmy O. Yang and Cedric The Entertainer. In addition to Fear{less}, their television credits include Undeniable with Joe Buck, ESPN’s 30 for 30 episode about the ’85 Bears, and the Netflix animated show F is for Family.

Please enjoy!

See it as a teaser. Something to whet your appetite. If you like what you hear, you can of course find the full episodes at tim.blog/podcast.

Hi All!

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

What I’m watching

“Black Market Marijuana” (Amazon, YouTube) on Trafficked with Mariana van Zeller (S2, E3). Description: “In 2016, California began a massive social experiment: legalized marijuana. But after four years, the black market is three times larger than the legal one. Mariana van Zeller (@MarianaVZ) sets off to find out what happened, who’s profiting, and which groups are racing to meet skyrocketing demands. Following an underground supply chain from growers to distributors, she journeys through the wild west of weed.” I was incredibly impressed by the investigative journalism, production value, and story composition of this episode. It covered a lot of bases and a lot of outstanding questions I had. I’ll be watching more episodes from this series.

What I’m listening to

“Far from Home” (YouTube, Spotify) by Aubrie Sellers (@aubriesellers).

What I’m reading

“A New Vision for Wolf Conservation After 150 Years of Yellowstone.” For my readers in the U.S.: If you’d like to help, you can find a call-to-action at the end of the article, or you can simply click here to be taken directly to the action. It takes less than 60 seconds, and every person counts.

Person I’m studying

​Edward O. Thorp. From Wikipedia: “Edward Oakley Thorp is an American mathematics professor, author, hedge fund manager, and blackjack researcher. He pioneered the modern applications of probability theory, including the harnessing of very small correlations for reliable financial gain. Thorp is the author of Beat the Dealer, which mathematically proved that the house advantage in blackjack could be overcome by card counting. He also developed and applied effective hedge fund techniques in the financial markets and collaborated with Claude Shannon in creating the first wearable computer.”

Passages I’m pondering

“It’s dark because you’re trying too hard,” said Susila. “Dark because you want it to be light. Remember what you used to tell me when I was a little girl. ‘Lightly, child, lightly. You’ve got to learn to do everything lightly. Think lightly, act lightly, feel lightly. Yes, feel lightly, even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.’ I was so preposterously serious in those days, such a humorless little prig. Lightly, lightly—it was the best advice ever given me.
​
Well, now I’m going to say the same thing to you, Lakshmi . . . Lightly, my darling, lightly. Even when it comes to dying. Nothing ponderous, or portentous, or emphatic. No rhetoric, no tremolos, no self-conscious persona putting on its celebrated imitation of Christ or Goethe or Little Nell. And, of course, no theology, no metaphysics. Just the fact of dying and the fact of the Clear Light.
​
So throw away all your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly, my darling. On tiptoes; and no luggage, not even a sponge bag. Completely unencumbered.” ​
​​
— From Island by Aldous Huxley​

P.S. Deal of the Week — JuneShine!

You don’t know it yet, but JuneShine’s going to be your new go-to happy-hour drink. Consistent with their tagline, “organic hard kombucha for a brighter buzz,” I do get a nice buzz, as it sports a hefty 6% ABV (alcohol by volume), but 1–2 drinks doesn’t punish me with a nasty hangover. I enjoy grabbing a can of JuneShine in the late afternoon after a workday or when hanging with friends on the weekend. You’ve also heard me drinking JuneShine in a few Random Show episodes with Kevin Rose. Grapefruit Paloma might be my personal favorite flavor, but I usually grab a Sampler Pack and rotate.
​
​JuneShine is made with organic ingredients, and it is naturally gluten-free. The company is carbon-neutral, their brewery runs on renewable energy, and they donate one percent of sales to environmental nonprofits. As a 5-Bullet Friday subscriber, you can get an exclusive discount: receive 20% off your first purchase, plus free shipping on any orders over $75. Simply use code TIM at checkout. Taste what all the buzz is about and grab a Sampler Pack here: JuneShine.com/Tim.

P.P.S.

🎧 New podcast episode:
​Mark Zuckerberg on Long-Term Strategy, Business and Parenting Principles, Personal Energy Management, Building the Metaverse, Seeking Awe, the Role of Religion, Solving Deep Technical Challenges (e.g., AR), and More​

Mark Zuckerberg (FB/IG) is the founder, chairman, and CEO of Meta, which he originally founded as Facebook in 2004. Mark is responsible for setting the overall direction and product strategy for the company. In October 2021, Facebook rebranded to Meta to reflect all of its products and services across its family of apps and a focus on developing social experiences for the metaverse—moving beyond 2D screens toward immersive experiences like augmented and virtual reality to help build the next evolution in social technology.

He is also the co-founder and co-CEO of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative with his wife Priscilla, which is leveraging technology to help solve some of the world’s toughest challenges—including supporting the science and technology that will make it possible to cure, prevent, or manage all diseases by the end of the twenty-first century.

Mark studied computer science at Harvard University before moving to Palo Alto, California, in 2004.

Hi All!

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

Art I’m loving

“Of Trees, Tenderness, and the Moon: Hasui Kawase’s Stunning Japanese Woodblock Prints from the 1920s–1950s” by Maria Popova (@brainpicker). From the article: “Born into a Tokyo family of rope and thread merchants, Hasui Kawase (May 18, 1883–November 7, 1957) grew up dreaming of becoming an artist. His parents pressed him to continue in their path, but he persisted in following his own, drawing quiet inspiration from the example of his maternal uncle—the creator of the first manga magazine.”

What I’m watching

​The Most Reluctant Convert. I find C.S. Lewis, best known as author of The Chronicles of Narnia, endlessly fascinating. This film paints a rich picture of his life, and even though I don’t self-identify as religious and didn’t understand a few of the logical leaps, I was blown away by Max McLean’s (@MaxMcLeanNYC) performance. From the description: “Experience C.S. Lewis’ profound journey from vigorous debunker of Christianity to become, as he said, ‘the most reluctant convert in all England.’ Through Max McLean’s detailed and masterful performance, Lewis tells his story of grief, loss and redemption in his own magnificent words; and delivers the provocative, intellectual and spiritual insights that made him the most influential Christian writer of the past century.” See the trailer here.

What I’m listening to

“Body Yako (Instrumental)” (YouTube, Spotify) by Captain Planet (@ChuckWild).

What I’m reading and forwarding

“Patents on Psychedelics: The Next Legal Battlefront of Drug Development” by I. Glenn Cohen (@CohenProf) and Mason Marks (@MasonMarksMD) for the Harvard Law Review. Here is an excerpt:
​
​The issuance of low-quality patents on psychedelics reflects unique characteristics of these substances, their complex history and regulation, and systemic problems with the patent system. Though prior art repositories and patent pledges can be helpful, meaningful patent reform is necessary to prevent the granting of meritless psychedelic patents.
​
The existing patent framework often rewards those who patent “me-too drugs” that are insignificant advancements over existing therapies, reducing the public benefit received per research dollar spent. Copycat therapeutics not only lack novelty, but they have also failed to produce significant improvements in mental healthcare, as evidenced by rising rates of suicide and skyrocketing overdose deaths. Drug companies have recently applied this me-too approach to psychedelic experiences pioneered and revered by Indigenous communities.
​
Psychedelics may represent a paradigm shift for mental healthcare and the most promising solution to the mental health crisis. However, if a small number of companies secure wide swaths of intellectual property early on, then the beneficial impact of that shift may be blunted.
​
In this Essay we have set out a series of proposals for discouraging unwarranted patents in the psychedelics field, some radical, some less so. It is essential to have these conversations now, while the industry remains in its nascent stage. The political economy is such that once new players become large enough, they will have an outsized influence over potential changes to the law, especially those that threaten their dominant positions.

Quote I’m pondering

“I tell you: one must have chaos in oneself to give birth to a dancing star.”
​— From Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche

P.S. Deal of the Week — Get your free LMNT Sample Pack—the healthy alternative to sugar-laden electrolyte drinks.

I’ve stocked up on boxes and boxes of LMNT, and I usually use 1–2 packs per day to add electrolytes. These days, as I’m logging more outdoor and hiking hours, LMNT has been critical. And if you’re on a low-carb diet, ketogenic diet, or using intermittent fasting, electrolytes are key for relieving headaches, muscle cramps, and fatigue. I add electrolytes for many reasons: because I over-hydrate compulsively while stuck at home (which dilutes electrolytes and leads me to feel tired), because I’m on a low-carb diet, because I’ve lost electrolytes through exercise, etc. It’s simply cheap insurance that tastes great.

Developed by Robb Wolf and his coaches, each serving delivers a meaningful dose of electrolytes without the garbage—no sugar, no artificial ingredients, no coloring, no junk. LMNT is used by three Navy SEAL teams, as prescribed by their master chief, and 10+ NFL and NBA teams, and it is the Official Hydration Partner of Team USA Weightlifting. My favorite flavor is Citrus Salt, which, as a side note, you can use to make a kick-ass, no-sugar margarita. Watermelon is a close second, so I alternate the two.

​For a limited time, you can claim your free LMNT Sample Pack to try all 8 of their flavors—you only cover the cost of shipping ($5 for US customers). This special offer is available here >> DrinkLMNT.com/Tim.

​This episode is brought to you by Pique! I first learned about Pique through my friends Dr. Peter Attia and Kevin Rose, and now Pique’s fermented pu’er tea crystals have become my daily go-to. I often kickstart my mornings with their Pu’er Green Tea and Pu’er Black Tea, and I alternate between the two. This rare type of naturally fermented tea is more concentrated in polyphenol antioxidants than any other tea—it supports focus and mental clarity, healthy digestion, metabolism, and a healthy immune system. Their crystals are cold extracted, using only wild-harvested leaves from 250-year-old tea trees. Plus, they triple toxin screen for heavy metals, pesticides, and toxic mold—contaminants commonly found in tea. I also use the crystals for iced tea, which saves a ton of time and hassle.

​Pique is offering up to 20% off of their pu’er teas, exclusively to my listeners. To sweeten the deal even more, you’ll get a free sampler pack with 6 of their best-selling teas. Simply visit PiqueLife.com/Tim, and the discount will be automatically applied. They also offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, so your purchase is completely risk free. Just go to PiqueLife.com/Tim to learn more.

Hi All!

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

What I’m putting on nearly everything

​Yellowbird’s habanero sauce. This stuff is magical and crafted right in my backyard of Austin. The last time I featured Yellowbird in 5BF, you seemed to love them in a big way. Here’s the official description: “Meet the cult classic that’s now 100% organic with no added sugars! Our organic habanero condiment boasts a flavorful, balanced heat with a complex blend of organic habanero peppers, carrots, and tangerines.”

What I’m watching

​La La Land (Amazon, YouTube, Apple TV, Google Store). This movie is outstanding. I held off for a few years, despite the many recommendations from friends, because I’m largely allergic to musicals. Chew through that and you’ll be rewarded. Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling (@RyanGosling) are beyond talented. Multi-hyphenate doesn’t do either of them justice. If you liked Whiplash, this is also from Damien Chazelle, the same writer-director. From Wikipedia: “It won a record-breaking seven awards from its seven nominations at the 74th Golden Globes and received eleven nominations at the 70th British Academy Film Awards, winning five, including Best Film. The film also received a record-tying fourteen nominations at the 89th Academy Awards, winning in six categories, including Best Actress for Stone and Best Director for Chazelle.” Find the trailer here.

What I’m listening to again

“Tres Deseos - Sesiones de Estudio (En Vivo)” by Churupaca (@churupacaoficial). If you listen to this a few times, it will get stuck in your head… and that’s a good thing. Find the lyrics in the video description.

What my foundation is supporting

​Fireside Project. Official description: “Fireside Project’s Psychedelic Peer Support Line offers free, confidential peer support by phone and text message to people in the midst of psychedelic experiences, people holding space for others who are in the midst of psychedelic experiences, and people integrating past psychedelic experiences.” The line is available daily from 3 PM to 3 AM PT at 62-FIRESIDE (623-473-7433), and it has been featured in Esquire, Forbes, Rolling Stone, and others.

Quote I’m pondering

“That’s L.A. They worship everything and they value nothing.”
​— Sebastian Wilder in La La Land, played by Ryan Gosling​
​

​
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

I get asked all the time, “If you could use only one supplement, what would it be?” My answer is usually AG1 by Athletic Greens, my all-in-one nutritional insurance. I recommended it in The 4-Hour Body in 2010 and didn’t get paid to do so. I focus on nutrient-dense meals, of course, but AG1 further covers my bases with vitamins, minerals, and whole-food-sourced micronutrients that support focus and mental clarity, gut health, energy, and the immune system. With added pre- and probiotics, digestive enzymes, adaptogens, and more, AG1 is one of the most comprehensive and convenient formulas on the market. Furthermore, they’ve been able to make it taste great.

🎧 New podcast episode:
​Bo Shao — His Path from Food Rations to Managing Billions, the Blessings and Burdens of Chasing Perfection, Building the eBay of China in 1999, Pillars of Parenting, and Pursuing the Unpopular​

Bo Shao is a co-founder and the chairman of Evolve, a philanthropic investment firm composed of a foundation, Evolve Foundation, and an impact investment firm, Evolve Ventures. With an initial capital of $100 million from the Shao family, Evolve aims to support organizations that relieve inner suffering and facilitate inner transformation. He is also the co-founder of Parent Lab, an app that helps parents meet common parenting challenges.

Prior to Evolve, Bo was a founding partner of Matrix China, a leading technology venture capital firm in China, which manages more than $7 billion and has funded more than 500 companies, 50+ of which have become unicorns. He is also a serial entrepreneur who has co-founded five companies that have either gone public or become leaders in their respective industries.

Bo was born in China and was a winner of more than a dozen national mathematics competitions during high school. When he was 17, he left China for Harvard College on a full scholarship—one of the first such scholarships Harvard granted to a person from mainland China. After receiving his A.B. summa cum laude in physics and electrical engineering, he worked for Boston Consulting Group and Goldman Sachs and received his MBA from Harvard Business School.

Hi All!

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

You’d like an extra bullet this week you say? Done. This edition features an extra bullet because I couldn’t resist.

What I’m using and loving

“How to tie the Marathon Knot.” Following a recent ski injury, I’ve had some neurological pain in my right foot. I notice it as shooting pain in the second toe when I go from sitting to standing. One of my doctors suggested this could be partially a result of an overtightened toe box at the front of my shoes, and he suggested trying this lacing technique. I immediately felt better. It’s not cured, but it’s substantially improved. Sometimes it’s the simple things, eh?

What I’m playing

​Secret Hitler. From the description: “Secret Hitler is a dramatic game of political intrigue and betrayal set in 1930s Germany. Players are secretly divided into two teams—liberals and fascists. Known only to each other, the fascists coordinate to sow distrust and install their cold-blooded leader. The liberals must find and stop the Secret Hitler before it’s too late.” This is a really fun board game, but it requires a minimum of five players. Any great recommendations for games that can be played well with 3–4 players? Please let me know @tferriss on Twitter.

My first and possibly only foray into TikTok

​No children were harmed in the making of this video… I’ve never been on TimTok until now. I don’t expect to make it a habit, but this was fun to put together. Pro tip: being bald makes the BritBrit hair toss a lot harder on the neck. Secret Hitler may or may not have been introduced to me by someone in this video.

What I’m excited about

​Moonbirds. Kevin Rose (@KevinRose), my nutty brother from another mother, is at it again. He’s been cooking this up with an entire team for some time, and I imagine there are surprises in store. Moonbirds are “a collection of 10,000 utility-enabled PFPs [profile picture NFTs] that feature a richly diverse and unique pool of rarity-powered traits. What’s more, each Moonbird unlocks private club membership and additional benefits the longer you hold [or ‘nest’] them.” If you missed our newest Random Show episode this week, you can find it here.

What I’m reading and sharing

“Can the Clever Use of Old Legal Strategies Thwart Psychedelic Monopolies?”

Quote I’m pondering

“I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.”
​— Attributed to Rabindranath Tagore​
​(Thank you to Terry Crews for sharing this one.)
​

​
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 — Ascent Protein.

Ever since I wrote The 4-Hour Body, starting my day with ~30 grams of protein has been an essential part of my routine. I’ve been using Ascent’s whey protein for the last several years, and I recently tried their new plant-based protein. I’ve experimented with many other plant-based proteins, and most compromise on taste or efficacy, but Ascent Plant Protein is delicious and provides 25 grams of protein with 4 grams of BCAAs to support muscle health. To ensure their product tastes great, Ascent verified it with third-party consumer research, and it won on taste and texture against the market leader. What’s more, it’s made from organic, real-food sources like organic pea, pumpkin, and sunflower and contains zero artificial ingredients, artificial sweeteners, or added sugars. Visit AscentProtein.com/Tim and use the code 20TFASCENT, and you’ll receive 20% off of your entire purchase. This code is valid on their website and on Amazon.com. If you want a quick dose of protein to start your day or end a workout, this is a great option. Enjoy!

You’ve also heard me drinking JuneShine in a few Random Show episodes with Kevin Rose. Grapefruit Paloma might be my personal favorite flavor, but I usually grab a Sampler Pack and rotate.

Hi All!

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

What I’m watching

“Mentalism, mind reading and the art of getting inside your head” by Derren Brown (@derrenbrown). If that whets your appetite, follow it up with “The Events: How to Be a Psychic Spy” by Derren. I’m very keen to learn more about mentalism. Can anyone suggest a “curriculum” or great way of learning? Please send me a note on Twitter using @tferriss and #mentalism if so!

What I’m studying

​Drunken monkey hypothesis. From Wikipedia: “[The Drunken monkey hypothesis] proposes that human attraction to ethanol may derive from dependence of the primate ancestors of Homo sapiens on ripe and fermenting fruit as a dominant food source.” Thanks to Dr. Mark Plotkin (@DocMarkPlotkin) for introducing me to this hypothesis. Learn more about Mark here.

What I’ll be practicing outdoors this summer

“AcroYoga with Chelsey Korus and Matt Giordano.” This video has 1M+ views for a reason, and the sequences make me want to dive back into AcroYoga. For a good overview of the fundamentals, check out co-founder Jason Nemer’s book, Move, Connect, Play: The Art and Science of AcroYoga. You can also watch my video interview with him here.

What I’m listening to

Soft: “Ave Cruz” (YouTube, Spotify) by Céu (@ceumusic). Caramel and velvet for winding down.

P.S. Deal of the Week — JuneShine!

You don’t know it yet, but JuneShine’s going to be your new favorite happy-hour drink. Consistent with their tagline, “organic hard kombucha for a brighter buzz,” I do get a nice buzz. It sports a hefty 6% ABV (alcohol by volume), but 1–2 drinks doesn’t punish me with a nasty hangover. I enjoy grabbing a can of JuneShine in the late afternoon after a workday or when hanging with friends on the weekend. You’ve also heard me drinking JuneShine in a few Random Show episodes with Kevin Rose. I’ll be trying the Mango Daydream next, but I often grab a Sampler Pack and rotate. I keep very little booze in my house, but JuneShine easily makes the cut.

​JuneShine is made with organic ingredients, and it is naturally gluten-free. As a 5-Bullet Friday subscriber, you can get an exclusive discount: receive 20% off your first purchase plus free shipping on any orders over $75. Simply use code TIM at checkout. So why not try it out? Taste what the buzz is about and grab a Sampler Pack here: JuneShine.com/Tim.

Hi All!

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

What I’m watching

“Mentalism, mind reading and the art of getting inside your head” by Derren Brown (@derrenbrown). If that whets your appetite, follow it up with “The Events: How to Be a Psychic Spy” by Derren. I’m very keen to learn more about mentalism. Can anyone suggest a “curriculum” or great way of learning? Please send me a note on Twitter using @tferriss and #mentalism if so!

What I’m studying

​Drunken monkey hypothesis. From Wikipedia: “[The Drunken monkey hypothesis] proposes that human attraction to ethanol may derive from dependence of the primate ancestors of Homo sapiens on ripe and fermenting fruit as a dominant food source.” Thanks to Dr. Mark Plotkin (@DocMarkPlotkin) for introducing me to this hypothesis. Learn more about Mark here.

What I’ll be practicing outdoors this summer

“AcroYoga with Chelsey Korus and Matt Giordano.” This video has 1M+ views for a reason, and the sequences make me want to dive back into AcroYoga. For a good overview of the fundamentals, check out co-founder Jason Nemer’s book, Move, Connect, Play: The Art and Science of AcroYoga. You can also watch my video interview with him here.

What I’m listening to

Soft: “Ave Cruz” (YouTube, Spotify) by Céu (@ceumusic). Caramel and velvet for winding down.
​Hard: “Blood from a Stone” (YouTube, Spotify) by Sevendust (@Sevendust). Sonic hammer for winding up.
