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
Film Iâm watching â[The Handmaiden](. I absolutely loved this movie. Itâs beautiful, hilarious, horrifying, and sensual in equal measure. This BAFTA-winning film was introduced to me by recent podcast guest [Steve Jang](=) (see [his top-10 recommended Korean films here](=)), and it currently has 96% on [Rotten Tomatoes](). Description: âFrom Park Chan-wook, the celebrated director of Oldboy, Lady Vengeance and Stoker, comes a ravishing new crime drama. Park presents a gripping and sensual tale of two womenâa young Japanese lady living on a secluded estate and a Korean woman who is hired to serve as her new handmaiden but is secretly plotting with a conman to defraud her of a large inheritance. Inspired by the novel Fingersmith by British author Sarah Waters, The Handmaiden borrows the most dynamic elements of its source material and combines it with Park Chan-wookâs singular vision to create an unforgettable viewing experience.â You can find the trailer [here](=). â
Podcast episodes Iâm putting into action â[Body Electric Part 2: When Human Met Desk](=)â from the [TED Radio Hour]() podcast ([Apple Podcasts](=), [Spotify](). I recommend the first 7â8 minutes and the last 7â8 minutes. If in a rush, listen to the last 10 minutes.
ââ[Body Electric Part 3: Why Our Eyes Are Elongating](â â
30-minute doc Iâm watching ââ[The Greatest Submission Artist â Gordon Ryan](=).â â
Article Iâm reading â[Lululemonâs Founder Is Racing to Cure the Rare Disease Destroying His Muscles](=)â by [Ari Altstedter]( (Bloomberg). [Alternate article link](, in case you have any issues accessing using the previous one.
â
From the sub-heading: âFor decades, Chip Wilson has been facing a form of muscular dystrophy. Now the notoriously unfiltered billionaire is spending $100 million to cure it.â Sometimes, the ultra-rich can produce breakthroughs in medicine, if theyâre willing to spend big and take risks. Chip is willing to do both. Survival is one hell of a motivator. Hereâs one excerpt from the piece:
â
ââIf youâre going to be in a foxhole, being in one with Chip Wilson feels a little less suffocating,â says Craig Kelley, a 53-year-old FSHD patient. Kelley, who has difficulty going up stairs and canât take off a T-shirt without bracing himself, guesses the odds of a cure have âtripledâ since Wilson got involved. âI hope anybody with any kind of long-term disability can have a bit of a game changer like Chip.â
â
âThere are also some incredible examples of non-rich people doing the seemingly impossible to save family members. I strongly recommend listening to â[John Crowley â The Real-Life Captain America and Bruce Banner (Seriously)](),â whose story has been the basis of both books and feature films. â
Quote Iâm pondering âThe people I distrust most are those who want to improve our lives but have only one course of action in mind.â â

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.
