If you enjoy it, please feel free to forward to friends. â
Device that has improved my sleep â[PSO-RITE]( for psoas muscle release. Recommended by multiple people in [this Twitter thread](=) on iliacus self-release. â
What Iâm watching â[Free Guy]( (94% Audience Score on [Rotten Tomatoes]()). Free Guy stars and was produced by [Ryan Reynolds](=) ([@VancityReynolds]()). The movie is directed by [Shawn Levy](=) ([@ShawnLevyDirect]()) from a screenplay by [Matt Lieberman]() ([@elprotecto]() and [Zak Penn]() ([@zakpenn](=)). Here is the official description of the movie: âA bank teller (Ryan Reynolds) discovers he is actually a background player in an open-world video game and decides to become the hero of his own story. Now, in a world where there are no limits, he is determined to be the guy who saves his world his way before itâs too late.â â
Article Iâm reading â[My Twelve Rules for Life]()â by [Russ Roberts](=) ([@EconTalker](). In particular, Iâm thinking about this one:
â
â2. Find something healthy to worship David Foster Wallace says it well: Because hereâs something else thatâs weird but true: in the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worshipâbe it JC or Allah, be it YHWH or the Wiccan Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principlesâis that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. Itâs the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. Itâs been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, epigrams, parables; the skeleton of every great story. The whole trick is keeping the truth up front in daily consciousness.
ââ
â¦â
â
âBut the most important thing to remember is not to worship yourself. Not as easy as it sounds.â â
What Iâm listening to â[Eres para MÃ](=)â ([YouTube](=), [Spotify](=)) by [Julieta Venegas]( ([@julietav](=)). Feeling sapped by an ever-increasing creep of nihilism in the world (dramatic, I know)? This is the type of track that helps me find an optimistic foothold. Good medicine for challenging times and good medicine for seeing the silver linings all around us. [Things are generally better than we think](=). â

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 â [LMNT](, tasty electrolyte drink mix! Iâve stocked up on boxes and boxes of [LMNT](, and I usually use 1â2 packs per day to add electrolytes. These days, as Iâm logging more outdoor and hiking hours, LMNT has been critical, especially in hot temperatures when Iâm sweating. Electrolytes are essential minerals that keep you moving and prevent dehydration symptoms like headaches, muscle cramps, and fatigue. They support hundreds of processes within the body. I add electrolytes for many reasons: because I over-hydrate compulsively while stuck at a laptop (which dilutes electrolytes and leads me to feel tired), because Iâm on a low-carb diet, because Iâve lost electrolytes through exercise, etc. Itâs simply cheap hydration insurance that tastes great. Developed by Robb Wolf and his coaches, each serving delivers a meaningful dose of electrolytes without the garbageâno sugar, no artificial ingredients, no coloring, no junk. [LMNT]( is used by three Navy SEAL teams, as prescribed by their master chief, Tia-Clair Toomey-Orr (5x CrossFit Games winner), dozens of NFL and NBA teams, and othersâlike meâwho are looking for a physical and mental edge. My favorite flavor is Citrus Salt, which, as a side note, you can use to make a kick-ass, no-sugar margarita. Grapefruit is a close second, so I alternate the two. â[âFind your favorite flavor with a free LMNT Sample Pack, included with any purchase for a limited time](.
