Feel free to forward along if the spirit moves you. â This edition is brought to you by [LMNT](=). Be sure to see their offer in the P.S. â
What Iâm listening to ââ[Dâun crépuscule, lâautre](â ([YouTube](, [Spotify](=), [Apple Music]() by [Abderraouf Ouertani]() via Sr. Mugwort. Excellent for evening and Friday wind-downs. â
What Iâm reading â[Would you do it if you could? Advanced DNA testing for embryos is here â and itâs fraught.]()â [Click here]( if you have any issues accessing the link. From the article:
â
ââThis has somewhat flown under the societal radar, but itâs happening,â says Todd Lencz, a professor of psychiatry and molecular medicine in the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell and a leading researcher on the new genetic testing of embryos. âItâs not a question of if it will happen, or what the technology will be in three years. People are doing this now.â â
Wholesome video I enjoyed a lot more than expected â[Becorns Episode 3: Orioles vs Catbirds](=). This is both creatively inspiring and deeply calming. From the description: âA peek at my creative process as I create a Becorn and photograph it with an oriole... and inevitably, with catbirds too.â Thanks to Whitmire for sending me this family-friendly goodness, which makes a great palate cleanser after any craziness on the web. â
Healthy and fast protein that Iâm enjoying â[Classic Norwegian Roasted Salmon from Changing Seas](). These days, Iâm doing endurance training in the morning for 3â4 hours, and I like quick turnaround meals. For protein, Iâm alternating between these ready-to-eat salmon filets and [three sticks of Maui Nui wild-harvested venison](=). â
Quote Iâm pondering âHealth lies in action, and so it graces youth. To be busy is the secret of grace, and half the secret of content. Let us ask the gods not for possessions, but for things to do; happiness is in making things rather than in consuming them.â
ââ [Will Durant]() (Hat tip to Matt Mullenweg who introduced me to this quote in [our most recent podcast conversation](=).)[â
â](([Click here to share on Twitter]().) --------------------------------------------------------------- You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with [this clip]( on gene editing from my conversation with Walter Isaacson, [this segment](=) on human cloning from a special âHeresiesâ edition of The Tim Ferriss Show, and [my interview]() with Bird by Bird author Anne Lamott.
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.
â
Have a wonderful weekend, all.
â
Much love to you and yours,

P.S. Deal of the Week â [LMNTâs delicious electrolyte drink mix!]( Iâve enjoyed [LMNT]( for years now. I typically use 1â2 packs per day to add electrolytes, which helps me maintain both focus and energy levels. 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 typically on a low-carb diet; and because Iâve lost electrolytes through exercise, dry winter climates, sauna, etc. Itâs convenient hydration insurance that tastes great.
â
Each serving of [LMNT]( delivers a meaningful dose of electrolytes without the garbageâno sugar, no artificial ingredients, no coloring, no junk. My favorite flavor is Citrus Salt, which, as a side note, you can use to make a kick-ass, no-sugar margarita. For the colder months, Iâve also been enjoying their chocolate flavors to mix into my favorite hot beverages. For a limited time, LMNT is offering the [Chocolate Medley](, which includes Chocolate Chai, Chocolate Raspberry, and Chocolate Mint, to help you stay hydrated and warm during the winter months. Find your favorite flavor with [a free LMNT Sample Pack](, included with any purchase. And if you donât love your purchase for any reason, my friends at LMNT offer a no-questions-asked refund policy. This special offer is available at [DrinkLMNT.com/Tim](. â Forwarded this message? [Sign up here](). Join millions of monthly readers. Get exclusive content, private Q&As, giveaways, and more.
