Feel free to forward along if the spirit moves you. â Iâm also feeling frisky, so Iâve thrown in an extra bullet... â This edition is brought to you by [Momentous](. Be sure to see their offer in the P.S. â
Documentary Iâm watching â[American Symphony](). This is the most beautiful documentary Iâve seen in a long time. If you listen carefully, there are a lot of philosophical gems worth chewing on. Hereâs the official description: âIn this deeply intimate documentary, musician [Jon Batiste](=) attempts to compose a symphony as his wife, writer [Suleika Jaouad](=), undergoes cancer treatment.â At the least, I suggest you [watch the short trailer here](. â
Song Iâm listening to â[El Estuche](=)â ([YouTube](=), [Spotify](), [Apple Music](=)) by [Aterciopelados](). Perfect for Texas spring and calling in some Latin vibes. â
Short video Iâm watching â[Kobe Bryant - âFailure Doesnât Existâ](=)â Itâs easy to get caught up in labels and false constructs. Donât let âfailureâ be one of them. â
What Iâm reading â[Ketamine is being sold as a depression wonder drug. For some, itâs making everything worse.](â Please try [this alternate link]( if you have any trouble accessing the article. This is a timely and important piece by [Anna Silman]( ([@annaesilman](=)). In the last three years, Iâve seen more high-functioning people derailed by ketamine than any other substance. â
What I'm reading (and involved with) â[Book Startup Pitches Authors a Novel Deal: $0 Up Front, Bigger Profits]()â (Wall Street Journal) and â[A New Publisher Promises Authors âthe Lionâs Share of the Profitâ]()â (New York Times). Iâm thrilled to be involved with this new venture in publishing. I hope it sets new precedents in an age-old industry thatâs ripe for innovation. You can find the Authors Equity website [here](=).

Quote Iâm pondering âIntelligence is the capacity to perceive the essential, the what is; and to awaken this capacity, in oneself and in others, is education.â
â [Jiddu Krishnamurti](â
([Click here to share on Twitter]().) --------------------------------------------------------------- You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with [my interview]( with LeBron James, [the latest episode]( (âHow to Swimâ) from The Tim Ferriss Experiment, and [my conversation]( with renowned real-estate and Shark Tank investor Barbara Corcoran.
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.

Much love to you and yours,

P.S. Deal of the Week â [Momentous]( high-quality supplements! Momentous offers high-quality supplements and products across a broad spectrum of categories, and Iâve been testing their products for months now. Lately, Iâve been using their [Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate Powder]( (chocolate is my favorite flavor) daily, as Iâm getting more serious about training. Protein is a critical building block of the human body, and ample amounts are key to recovery. I literally just finished skiing, and the first thing I did was get my 20â30 grams of protein with Momentous. If you want your body to operate at its best, it needs the right fuel, and [Momentous Whey]( is my go-to post-workout protein. Their whey is sourced from EU dairy farmers who adhere to strict regulations, and it comes from grass-fed cows free of hormones, steroids, and rBST. Plus, Momentous products are third-party tested (Informed Sport and/or NSF-certified), so you can trust that what is on the label is in the bottle⦠and nothing else.
â
âMomentous is offering subscribers of 5-Bullet Friday 36% off their first-time subscription order of Whey Protein.
