If you enjoy it, please feel free to forward this along to friends. â
Short video Iâm revisiting â[My philosophy for a happy life | Sam Berns | TEDxMidAtlantic](=). This video hit me really hard. Despite some tears, it was exactly the reset I needed. This kid is a total stud. Just watch it, and do not rush. Also, do *not* read the description beforehand, only afterward. â
Article Iâm reading â[Panpsychism is crazy, but itâs also most probably true]()â by [Philip Goff](=) ([@Philip_Goff](=)). â
Compound Iâm studying â[Spermidine](=). Long-ass story, but this pops up on a podcast soon. The conversation provoked a fascination and a lot of worthwhile questions. â
What Iâm watching â[Wind River](=) ([Amazon](=), [YouTube](=)), written and directed by the incredible [Taylor Sheridan](, co-creator of Yellowstone. This is an excellent but very dark movie. It received a lengthy eight-minute standing ovation at the end of its premiere in the Un Certain Regard competition of the Cannes film festival. Description: âA chilling murder mystery set in the icy backwoods of a Native American Reservation, starring [Elizabeth Olsen]( and [Jeremy Renner](=) ([@JeremyRenner]()).â You can [find the trailer here](=). Not suitable for family viewing. â
Quote Iâm pondering âAnd now that you donât have to be perfect, you can be good.ââ
â [John Steinbeck](), East of Eden
â â 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. You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with [my mind-bending interview]() with Donald Hoffman, professor emeritus of cognitive sciences at the University of California, Irvine; [this video](=) of Dr. Peter Attia discussing rapamycin, a most curious drug; and [this clip](=) with iconic fiction author (e.g., The Handmaidâs Tale) Margaret Atwood.

Have a wonderful weekend, all.

Much love to you and yours,
