5-Bullet Friday — April 24, 2020

 [5-Bullet Friday](=) --------------------------------------------------------------- Hi All! Here is your weekly dose of “5-Bullet Friday,” a list of what I’m enjoying or pondering. There are three interesting P.S. items at the end, and if you’re an Oregon resident, [please also take a look at this](...What I’m listening to — [Coming of Age in a Mausoleum]() by [George Dawes Green](. This is one of many gems I found in [The Moth Presents All These Wonders: True Stories about Facing the Unknown](), which has a permanent spot on my coffee table. Hat tip to The Moth ([@TheMoth](), Neil Gaiman ([@neilhimself](=)), Catherine Burns ([@burnzieny]()), and all the amazing contributors. What I’m putting on nearly everything —[Yellowbird’s habanero sauce](=). This stuff is magical and crafted right in my backyard of Austin. Video I’m watching — [What Representing Men in Divorce Taught Me about Fatherhood (TEDxUniversityofNevada)](=) by attorney [Marilyn York]( ([@themarilynyork](=)), who owns a men’s rights, family law firm in Nevada, established in 2001. This opened my eyes quite a bit. If you find it heavy, [this video](=) and the next bullet correct for that... Livestream event this Saturday that I’m looking forward to — [The (virtual) Universe in Verse 2020](, hosted by Maria Popova ([@brainpicker]()). You can find more information about the event [here](=), and the start time is 4:30 PM ET/1:30 PM PT. I will make a little cameo. Quote I’m pondering — “You have comfort. You don’t have luxury. And don’t tell me that money plays a part. The luxury I advocate has nothing to do with money. It cannot be bought. It is the reward of those who have no fear of discomfort.”— [Jean Cocteau](, French poet, novelist, boxing manager, and filmmaker, whose collaborations were the inspiration for the term “surrealism” (This quote was found again after rereading [this blog post](.) 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? 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! Tim P.S. I’ll be releasing a handful of time-sensitive podcast episodes very soon, and it has opened up a few last-minute sponsorship opportunities. If you’re interested and can move fast, [please fill out this sponsorship form](). P.P.S. Deal of the Week — [Assorted milk + honey goodies](=). I’ve been using milk + honey products for years now. In fact, a few months into using their stuff, I ended up investing. Every [milk + honey product](=) is high quality and as elegantly simple as possible. Most recently, I’ve been using their [hand purifier]( (CDC and FDA compliant with 80% alcohol content) and non-toxic [essential oil candles](). “Candles?! Has Tim been smoking the devil’s cabbage?” you might ask. Here’s the explanation: During lockdown, it’s been a sanity-saver to create daily rituals with my girlfriend. So… each night at dinner, we light a candle for the duration, and it marks the end of the work day and the beginning of decompression and wind-down. It’s my favorite transition of the day. To see some of my favorite products and Mother’s Day (May 10th! Don’t forget!) bestsellers, visit [milkandhoney.com/tim]( and use code TIM to get 10% off. Offer is valid until 11:59 PM CT on Monday, April 27th. P.P.P.S. You guys rock! The total you raised for the [Frontline Responders Fund]() is now north of $166,000, which triggered my matching grant of $100,000. My funds have been wired and donated. Each of you should be very proud, and I’m extremely grateful for the incredible showing of solidarity and generosity. This will make a real difference. 🙏 FORWARDED THIS MESSAGE? [SIGN UP](=).
