“Ultimately, happiness comes down to choosing between the discomfort of becoming aware of your mental afflictions and the discomfort of being ruled by them.” — Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
Happy Friday boss.
I hope you had an awesome week over there.
And I hope these rec’s make your weekend even better.
Let’s dive in.
Ronnie Chieng – Love To Hate It (Netlix)
Best new standup special I’ve seen in a long time (there’s no full trailer so the link above points to a clip).
I know “genius” is one of the most widely over-used terms in our world today…
…But Ronnie is a damn genius.
(his classic“Amazon Now” bit is still one of the funniest pieces of standup I’ve ever seen)
HubermanLab – How Your Thoughts Influence Your Health
Great clip on how your thoughts can make you healthy — or, ill — from a recent HubermanLab episode.
(amazing to see how much life force Ellen has, at 77 years old)
Peaky Blinders – “Soon you’ll need to be the man with the answers.”
Banger clip from the greatest television series of all time.
Shoutout to Path member Liam Barney who created this edit and the YouTube Channel that hosts it.
BONUS: How To Master The Skill Of Thinking
This video popped back up on my radar yesterday after I noticed a comment from Dylan Jaytilaka…
A 27-year professor of Quantum Chemistry, who used to work at NASA:
“…this “deconstruction & reconstruction” idea serves as a very succinct way to characterise understanding itself. I have been struggling for years to come up with something like this which is short and clear, and opens many other avenues of thought.”
High praise from a sharp man. I wish I’d seen it earlier.
Have an amazing weekend over there.
You deserve it.
