Please feel free to forward this along to friends, and donât miss the P.P.S. â
What Iâm listening to â[Orchestrated Incident](=)â ([YouTube](=), [Spotify](=)) by [Gramatik](=). I wrote a good portion of [The 4-Hour Chef]( (in fact, a book on accelerated learning) to this track on repeat. Itâs not everyoneâs cup of tea, but I find the upbeat instrumentals fantastic for writing flow. I have a lot of [Gramatik](=) and [Beats Antique]()âtry â[Circulation](=)ââin my playlist for writing sessions. â
What Iâm wearing for long hikes â[Lâeggs Womenâs Everyday Knee Highs](=). OK, OK, hear me out. An old Italian fella, veteran of the Camino de Santiago, shared this gem with a close friend of mine: Skip fancy sock liners and just put these on before your hiking socks. Et voilà ! No blisters. So far, itâs worked like a charm. â
Book Iâm revisiting â[Travels with Charley: In Search of America]() by [John Steinbeck](). This was originally given to me by my dear mom, who knows Iâve fantasized for ages about a countrywide road trip with my pooch, [Molly](=). The book was published in 1962, the same year Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize in Literature for his work. Itâs beautiful and surprisingly hilarious at points. Here is a brief description: âWith Charley, his French poodle, Steinbeck drives the interstates and the country roads, dines with truckers, encounters bears at Yellowstone and old friends in San Francisco. Along the way, he reflects on the American character, racial hostility, the particular form of American loneliness he finds almost everywhere, and the unexpected kindness of strangers.â â
ââDocumentary Iâm watching again â[The Price of Everything](=) ([YouTube](=), [Apple TV](), directed by [Nathaniel Kahn](). I originally watched this film after both my brother and a close friend raved about it, and I was prompted to rewatch it after [Kevin Rose brought it up]( in [the most recent Random Show episode](. It is often funny, sometimes nauseating, and always entertaining. Hereâs the description: âWith unprecedented access to pivotal artists and the white-hot market surrounding them, The Price of Everything dives deep into the contemporary art world, holding a mirror up to our values and our timesâwhere everything can be bought and sold.â â
Quote Iâm pondering âIf you canât tell what you desperately need, itâs probably sleep.ââ

You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with [my 37 favorite documentaries](=) and my interviews with master filmmakers [Ken Burns]( and [Darren Aronofsky](=).

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 [HEY](=)! I was introduced to this email platform by my dear friend Kevin Rose, who uses HEY and calls it âa beautiful rethinking of everything wrong with email.â
â
â[HEY]() is a fresh approach to email from the makers of Basecamp, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson (previous podcast guests and two of the most innovative entrepreneurs I know). For almost two decades, email has remained unchanged, soulless, chaotic, and borderline abusive. Your inbox is packed with emails from people that you donât care about, full of intrusive trackers, and all framed by a multitude of ads that watch every move you make. If you value privacy and online security and are tired of having an inbox overflowing with things you donât care about, HEY fixes whatâs been broken with email for years. At HEY, emails never land in your â[Imbox](â by default. You [screen senders]( the first time they email you, filtering out anyone you donât want to hear from. It also blocks invasive tracking pixels that report back information like when, where, and how often youâre opening your mail.
â
âTake back control of your email with a free 14-day trial at [HEY.com/Tim](. As a 5 Bullet Friday subscriber, youâll also get an exclusive $20 discount on your first yearâs subscription.
