Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.
This issue is brought to you by Incogni ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/6qheh8hlm6zzg8fohk/aHR0cHM6Ly9kZWFsLmluY29nbmkuaW8vYWZmX2M_b2ZmZXJfaWQ9NiZhZmZfaWQ9MTk0OSZ1cmxfaWQ9MTk2 ), which automatically removes your personal information from the web, helping to keep you safe online and off.

Earplugs I’m enjoying
---------------------
PQ Silicone Gel Earplugs ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/kkhmh6hnk2rrqkflh7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9kcC9CMEJLSDFENjJDP3JlZj1uYl9zYl9zc193X2FzLXJlb3JkZXJfazBfMV83JmFtcD0mY3JpZD0zOE43VlRUQTZTTkpaJnNwcmVmaXg9ZWFyJTJCcGx1JnRoPTE= ). For sleep, I’ve used Mack’s silicone earplugs ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/58hvh7hgroqq86u6h4/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9NYWNrcy1QaWxsb3ctU29mdC1TaWxpY29uZS1FYXJwbHVncy9kcC9CMDdHMU1XSE5SLw== ) for more than a decade. But they’re not without issues: the putty is too large for my ears, but a half is too small, and I constantly run out while on the road. The PQ earplugs come in a package of 50, and they’re just the right size. Thus far, these have become my default.

“From Hierarchy to Intelligence ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/9qhzhnhdo300vkt9h3/aHR0cHM6Ly9ibG9jay54eXovaW5zaWRlL2Zyb20taGllcmFyY2h5LXRvLWludGVsbGlnZW5jZQ== )” by Jack Dorsey ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/3ohphkh3e9005ourhn/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvSmFja19Eb3JzZXk= ) and Roelof Botha ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/n2hohvhvz5mm9xi6hg/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDIyLzA4LzMxL3JvZWxvZi1ib3RoYS8= ). Here are a few excerpts to give you some idea of the gist:
Block is remote-first. Everything we do creates artifacts. Decisions, discussions, code, designs, plans, problems, and progress all exist as recorded actions. It’s the raw material for a company world model. In a traditional company, a manager’s job is to know what’s happening across their team and relay that context up and down the chain. In a remote-first company where work is already machine-readable, AI can build and maintain that picture continuously. What’s being built, what’s blocked, where resources are allocated, what’s working and what isn’t. That’s the information the hierarchy used to carry. The company world model carries it instead.
...
[An intelligence layer] is what composes capabilities into solutions for specific customers at specific moments and delivers them proactively. A restaurant’s cash flow is tightening ahead of a seasonal dip the model has seen before. The intelligence layer composes a short-term loan from the lending capability, adjusts the repayment schedule using the payments capability, and surfaces it to the merchant before they even think to look for financing. A Cash App user’s spending pattern shifts in a way the model associates with a move to a new city. The intelligence layer composes a new direct deposit setup, a Cash App Card with boosted categories for their new neighborhood, and a savings goal calibrated to their updated income. No product manager decided to build either solution. The capabilities existed. The intelligence layer recognized the moment and composed them.
…
We’re writing about it now because we believe every company will eventually need to confront the same question we did: what does your company understand that is genuinely hard to understand, and is that understanding getting deeper every day?
If the answer is nothing, AI is just a cost optimization story. You cut headcount, improve margins for a few quarters, and eventually get absorbed by something smarter. If the answer is deep, AI doesn’t augment your company. It reveals what your company actually is.
Pairs well with the real-world examples in this video ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/48hvhehm4qvvd9sxh7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_c2k9X2JOTXFsVWxUQmJOQkFJeCZ0PTIzMiZ2PVhfSnNJSFVmVWpjJmZlYXR1cmU9eW91dHUuYmU= ) from Tom Blomfield, and you only need 1–2 minutes to get the gist.

What I’m watching from start to finish
--------------------------------------
Parks and Recreation ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/08hwh9h23wvv67tlh5/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9ncC92aWRlby9kZXRhaWwvQjAwQzBZNThOSS8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA= ) (Peacock ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/8ghqhohompzz6gtkh9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucGVhY29ja3R2LmNvbS9zdHJlYW0tdHYvcGFya3MtYW5kLXJlY3JlYXRpb24= ), Apple TV ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/vqh3hrhoz3ll9pcghl/aHR0cHM6Ly90di5hcHBsZS5jb20vdXMvc2hvdy9wYXJrcy1hbmQtcmVjcmVhdGlvbi91bWMuY21jLjRyaHpidDNubXN5Y3ZndDRuaWxoYnV5YWU= ), Amazon Prime ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/08hwh9h23wvv67tlh5/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9ncC92aWRlby9kZXRhaWwvQjAwQzBZNThOSS8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA= )). OK, I realize I’m late to the party here, but, MY GOD, what a wonderful nightly palate cleanser!
Like millions of people, I’d seen tons of social clips of Parks and Rec and even 1–2 scattered episodes. But I’d never watched it as one should: starting at the beginning. The character development over time is incredible, and having a reliable “Oh, I feel so much better!” at the end of every day has become one of my favorite rituals.
If you want to sample just one episode, try “Sister City ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/l2hehmhl8veemlh6h0/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9ncC92aWRlby9kZXRhaWwvQjBGR0Y2NTcyQz90YWc9b2Zmc2l0b2Z0aW1mZS0yMCZyZWZfPWF0dl9kcF9zZWFzb25fc2VsZWN0X3My )” (Season 2, Episode 5) or one of their other top-rated eps ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/m2h7h5h3d0vv6mumhq/aHR0cHM6Ly92YXJpZXR5LmNvbS9saXN0cy9wYXJrcy1hbmQtcmVjcmVhdGlvbi1iZXN0LWVwaXNvZGVzL3NvdWxtYXRlcy0yLw== ). But I’d suggest starting at S1E1 ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/dpheh0helwvv95fmh4/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9ncC92aWRlby9kZXRhaWwvQjBGOUZCV01HUT90YWc9b2Zmc2l0b2Z0aW1mZS0yMCZyZWZfPWF0dl9kcF9zZWFzb25fc2VsZWN0X3Mx ) and just watching them all. As someone who grew up on Richard Pryor, I never thought I’d be so grateful for (mostly) wholesome laughs. And if you like it, you’ll have 120+ eps over 7 seasons to keep you laughing, which should be enough to fuel at least a few months of exhaling before bed.
To really go down the rabbit hole, pair this with my conversation ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/e0hph7h78w6635u8h2/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDIyLzAxLzE5L21pY2hhZWwtc2NodXIvP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTViZg== ) with Michael Schur. Michael created the critically acclaimed NBC comedy The Good Place and co-created Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Rutherford Falls. Prior to “Parks,” Michael spent four years as a writer-producer on the Emmy Award-winning NBC hit The Office.

Quotes I’m pondering
--------------------
“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.”
— Ray Bradbury ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/7qh7h8h9rpqq2dtzh6/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvUmF5X0JyYWRidXJ5 )

“In descriptions of Nature one must seize on small details, grouping them so that when the reader closes his eyes he gets a picture. For instance, you’ll have a moonlit night if you write that on the mill dam a piece of glass from a broken bottle glittered like a bright little star, and that the black shadow of a dog or a wolf rolled past like a ball.”
— Anton Chekhov ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/z2hghnheqrnn26aph0/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvQW50b25fQ2hla2hvdg== ) advising his brother, which was paraphrased later ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/p8heh9h4n5mmwohqh3/aHR0cHM6Ly9xdW90ZWludmVzdGlnYXRvci5jb20vMjAxMy8wNy8zMC9tb29uLWdsaW50Lw== ) into the succinct writing advice “Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.”
You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my brand-new interview ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/x0hph6he5doov6h5hl/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzA3LzIyL2RyLWFuZHJldy1odWJlcm1hbi1wcm90b2NvbHMvP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTViZg== ) with neuroscientist and Stanford University School of Medicine professor Dr. Andrew Huberman. We cover peptides, physical and mental performance, and much more.

Anyone can look you up online in about a minute. Search for yourself on a people-search site; you’ll probably find your address, phone number, and relatives sitting there for the taking. Scary stuff.
Incogni ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/6qheh8hlm6zzg8fohk/aHR0cHM6Ly9kZWFsLmluY29nbmkuaW8vYWZmX2M_b2ZmZXJfaWQ9NiZhZmZfaWQ9MTk0OSZ1cmxfaWQ9MTk2 ) removes your personal info from the web. It automatically contacts the sites and companies that collect and sell your personal details and submits removal requests on your behalf then keeps re-checking, since those sites tend to sneakily re-post your info over time. On the Unlimited plan, you can also flag specific sites the automated sweep might miss.
Deloitte completed an independent assurance report on Incogni ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/6qheh8hlm6zzg8fohk/aHR0cHM6Ly9kZWFsLmluY29nbmkuaW8vYWZmX2M_b2ZmZXJfaWQ9NiZhZmZfaWQ9MTk0OSZ1cmxfaWQ9MTk2 )’s practices, confirming how many sites it covers, that it keeps re-sending removal requests, and that it doesn’t sell your information. Incogni ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/6qheh8hlm6zzg8fohk/aHR0cHM6Ly9kZWFsLmluY29nbmkuaW8vYWZmX2M_b2ZmZXJfaWQ9NiZhZmZfaWQ9MTk0OSZ1cmxfaWQ9MTk2 ) was the first service of its kind to put itself through that kind of third-party review, which is part of why it’s earned Editors’ Choice from both PCMag and PCWorld.

As a thank you for being awesome, I am hosting a small (limited to 100 people), live, virtual Q&A this Friday, July 24th at 3pm PT (6pm ET). Please submit your question at this link ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/gkuvnml205a5hlqn3z4trh85776e2tmh8ed/wnh2hghqekvm9di7hx/aHR0cHM6Ly9mb3Jtcy5nbGUvNHNTVVEzcjNDbnVWbjJBYjg= ), and my team will pick 100 of you. If you are selected, you will receive an email with the link to join the Q&A.
I intend to keep the topics broad. I will likely keep it a mix between pre-submitted ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/gkuvnml205a5hlqn3z4trh85776e2tmh8ed/wnh2hghqekvm9di7hx/aHR0cHM6Ly9mb3Jtcy5nbGUvNHNTVVEzcjNDbnVWbjJBYjg= ) and live questions.

That’s 8 times more interest than a typical savings account at a bank, according to FDIC.gov as of 05/18/2026 (Wealthfront’s 3.30% APY vs. 0.38% average savings rate). Right now, for a limited time, Wealthfront is offering new clients that use my sign-up link an additional 0.75% boost over the base rate for three months, meaning you can get up to 4.05% APY, limited to a $150,000 balance.

The Cash Account, which is not a deposit account, is offered by Wealthfront Brokerage LLC (“Wealthfront Brokerage”), member FINRA/SIPC. Wealthfront Brokerage is not a bank. The 3.30% Base APY on cash deposits is as of January 30, 2026, is representative, subject to change, and requires no minimum balance. Wealthfront Brokerage sweeps cash balances to Program Banks, where it earns the variable base APY. The Direct Deposit Plus Investing Program from Wealthfront Advisers LLC and Wealthfront Brokerage LLC provides eligible clients a 0.25% APY increase above the base APY on eligible Cash Account balances (up to an overall boosted rate of 4.30% for a limited time when including the three month 0.75% APY boost for new Cash Account clients) when you direct deposit $1,000/month plus maintain a funded investing account. Wealthfront may change or end the program at any time and determine eligibility at its discretion. Terms and conditions apply.

Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.
This edition is brought to you by Momentous Signature Spec Creatine ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5mq9g4tohpz63o3ps9h6rd/z2hghnhe2g8wwwfph0/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGl2ZW1vbWVudG91cy5jb20vZGlzY291bnQvVElNP3JlZGlyZWN0PSUyRnRpbSZ1dG1fc291cmNlPW5ld3NsZXR0ZXImdXRtX21lZGl1bT1zcG9uY29uJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj10aW1mZXJyaXNzJnV0bV9jb250ZW50PXNpZ25hdHVyZS1zcGVjLWNyZWF0aW5l ), my go-to source for creatine, which I use mostly for cognitive support. Be sure to see their offer in the P.S.

I find this great for writing, but some will find it closer to auditory hallucinations in an opium den. Feel free to skip around, and the music starts around one minute in.

( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5mq9g4tohpz63o3ps9h6rd/6qheh8hl8qdoo3sohk/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzA2LzEyL2hhcy1haS1hbHJlYWR5LWtpbGxlZC1ub25maWN0aW9uLz91dG1fc291cmNlPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmY= ),” and reader Andy Vaughn recommended another Kevin essay in the comments: “Better Than Free.” “Better Than Free” answers the what question, and I was shocked I hadn’t seen it before, as it first came out in 2008. Most of it still holds up incredibly well, and I’ve started using it as a checklist for thought exercises around the future of my business.

What I’m rewatching
-------------------
Life Is Beautiful ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5mq9g4tohpz63o3ps9h6rd/kkhmh6hn073mmpflh7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9ncC92aWRlby9kZXRhaWwvYW16bjEuZHYuZ3RpLmRmNmFlMzIzLWQ0MzYtNGUwNS04ZWU1LTg5ZjlmMDU2YjZmZQ== ). My lady hadn’t seen this, so I insisted that we watch it together. It’s an unforgettable masterpiece.
This 1997 classic was co-written and directed by Roberto Benigni ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5mq9g4tohpz63o3ps9h6rd/58hvh7hgdez77eh6h4/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvUm9iZXJ0b19CZW5pZ25p ), who also plays the lead role. Life Is Beautiful follows Guido, a Jewish-Italian father who shields his young son from the horrors of a concentration camp by convincing him it’s all an elaborate game. That’s how the movie is typically described, but that’s truthfully only the second half of the movie, and there is much more to it.
Perhaps better than any film I’ve ever seen, it uses hilarity to explore one of the darkest real-world chapters in recent human history. It’s a rare film that is chock-full of belly laughs and gut punches.
Thank me later when you find yourself saying “Buongiorno, Principessa!”

Quotes I’m pondering
--------------------
“For the classics, philosophical insight was the product of a life of leisure; for me, a life of leisure is the product of philosophical insight.”
— Nassim Nicholas Taleb
( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5mq9g4tohpz63o3ps9h6rd/25h2hoh3p5ednrh3h4/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj0xOFp4Q3hOMlpNbw== )“Absolutely unmixed attention is prayer.”

We get into Zen retreats, learning to rock climb at (almost) 50, mortality and grief, why you should stop saying “one day,” AI predictions, and much, much more.

Have a wonderful weekend, all.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I recommended creatine in The 4-Hour Body more than a decade ago and have long used it for gym performance. But I’m taking it even more consistently now for cognitive health, where creatine seems like cheap insurance: a pilot study in Alzheimer’s patients found that supplementing increased brain creatine levels in just 8 weeks, improving measures of memory, reasoning, and attention.
But not all creatine is created equal. The new Momentous Signature Spec Creatine ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5mq9g4tohpz63o3ps9h6rd/z2hghnhe2g8wwwfph0/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGl2ZW1vbWVudG91cy5jb20vZGlzY291bnQvVElNP3JlZGlyZWN0PSUyRnRpbSZ1dG1fc291cmNlPW5ld3NsZXR0ZXImdXRtX21lZGl1bT1zcG9uY29uJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj10aW1mZXJyaXNzJnV0bV9jb250ZW50PXNpZ25hdHVyZS1zcGVjLWNyZWF0aW5l ) is rebuilt to strict pharmaceutical standards and tested for things most companies don’t screen for, including heavy metals, forever chemicals, and microplastics.

Under his leadership at Maverick Records, Maverick sold more than 100 million albums. Guy has managed some of the biggest names in music, including Madonna, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and U2, and was named Variety‘s Music Mogul of the Year in 2022. He executive produced Twilight, which became one of the most successful franchises in movie history, generating more than $3.5B.
Guy was also an early investor in Vita Coco and co-founded A-Grade Investments ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/mvue7vnz8rc5hqdl5w3smhrez0powt3hlr9/x0hph6hev490o5s5hl/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvQS1HcmFkZV9JbnZlc3RtZW50cw== ) and then Sound Ventures ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/mvue7vnz8rc5hqdl5w3smhrez0powt3hlr9/6qheh8hl83nez9cohk/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc291bmR2ZW50dXJlcy5jb20v ), now with nearly $2 billion under management.

It’s verified through a six-stage testing process with four independent agencies—delivering 10x fewer impurities, 2–5x tighter heavy-metal limits, and added PFAS and microplastics screening.

5-Bullet Friday
***************
The latest from author and investor Tim Ferriss ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/qvh8h7hdmmgl4qilhk/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8= )
Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of things I’m exploring. And before my friends text me, I’m doing great! Just exploring some unusual terrain while writing. Every “holy sh*t” bullet ends in redemption, so stick with ’em.
Writing is always running a gauntlet for me. Many of these remind you: sometimes you just need to keep running forward.
This edition is brought to you by The Way ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/g3hnh5hm8870lgirh9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0= ), the meditation app I use most often. Be sure to see their offer in the P.S.

What I’m watching again
-----------------------
“IN-SHADOW - A Modern Odyssey - Animated Short Film ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/9qhzhnhdvvke60t9h3/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1qODAwU1ZlaVM1SQ== ).” I watch this at least once a year. It’s a gripping short animation. I think anyone who spends time on a computer or phone needs to watch it. The intensity is followed by redemption, and the artwork and art direction are spectacular throughout. It is written, directed, and produced by Lubomir Arsov (@lubomirarsov ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/3ohphkh3556k2mhrhn/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9sdWJvbWlyYXJzb3YvP2hsPWVu )). For more, here is the official website ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/n2hohvhv99wlx0s6hg/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zaGFkb3cubmV0Lw== ). And thanks to Joe P. for the great recommendation long ago. Perhaps it’s time to cut the puppet strings that make you dance. This one helps me keep social media apps off of my phone.

Song I’m enjoying to welcome the weekend
----------------------------------------
“Le Festin ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/48hvhehmddz7pesxh7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj0tUXVWZS1oak1zMA== ).” I love cooking to this with my lady. Even if you’re plowing through this email, listen to a minute of this before the next bullet. Trust me.

Song I’m revisiting

“Hi Ren ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/wnh2hghq229lk2i7hx/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1zX25jMUlWb014Yw== )” by Ren ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/reh8hohmll9o3gb2h6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vQFJlbk1ha2VzTXVzaWMvdmlkZW9z ). This is f*cking incredible. I remember when I first watched it, enraptured. It’s a wild cocktail of talent, craziness, philosophy, meaning, and relief. The lyrics are pure genius ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/08hwh9h2660p9lalh5/aHR0cHM6Ly9nZW5pdXMuY29tL1Jlbi1oaS1yZW4tbHlyaWNz ). Watch the whole thing—trust me. If you want to dig deeper, you can find the song’s origin story here ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/8ghqhoho66e727hkh9/aHR0cHM6Ly9nZW5pdXMuY29tL1Jlbi1oaS1yZW4tbHlyaWNzI2Fib3V0 ).

Short book I’m listening to
---------------------------
Novelist as a Vocation ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/vqh3hrho992qv6ughl/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9Ob3ZlbGlzdC1hcy1Wb2NhdGlvbi1IYXJ1a2ktTXVyYWthbWkvZHAvMDQ1MTQ5NDY0NC8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA= ) by Haruki Murakami ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/l2hehmhlmm5dngi6h0/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvSGFydWtpX011cmFrYW1p ). I’m loving this, and I’m only allowed to listen while driving or taking baths. It’s a reward. Put another way, I can’t use it to postpone writing. It’s a gem, but skip forward if a chapter doesn’t grab you.
Here are a few excerpts from the official description:
An insightful look into the mind of a master storyteller—and a unique look at the craft of writing from the beloved and best-selling author of 1Q84, Norwegian Wood, and What I Talk About When I Talk About Running.
“Murakami is like a magician who explains what he’s doing as he performs the trick and still makes you believe he has supernatural powers.” —New York Times Book Review
“What I want to say is that in a certain sense, while the novelist is creating a novel, he is simultaneously being created by the novel as well.” —Haruki Murakami
--------------------
Quotes I’m pondering
--------------------
“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.”
— Anaïs Nin ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/m2h7h5h366kl9khmhq/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvQW5hJUMzJUFGc19OaW4= )
“Yes. Adlerian psychology is a psychology of courage. Your unhappiness cannot be blamed on your past or your environment. And it isn’t that you lack competence. You just lack courage. One might say you are lacking in the courage to be happy.”

You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my brand-new interview ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/owhkhqhwmm30nluvhr/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzA3LzA3L2d1eS1vc2VhcnkvP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTViZg== ) with legendary music mogul, executive producer, and investor Guy Oseary. Guy has been Madonna’s manager for 36 years now, but his investing track record is equally impressive: he invested in OpenAI and Anthropic in early 2023, part of a Sound Ventures run that includes 86 exits and 26 IPOs.
And, as always, please give me feedback on X. 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 ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/z2hghnhe229m78tph0/aHR0cHM6Ly90d2l0dGVyLmNvbS90ZmVycmlzcw== ) 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 — The Way meditation training program ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/g3hnh5hm8870lgirh9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0= ). 10 minutes a day might just change your life...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve explored a lot of meditation practices over the years. My current hands-down favorite, and the easiest way to get back in the habit, is The Way ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/g3hnh5hm8870lgirh9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0= ), taught by Zen Master Henry Shukman. Using the app for just 10–20 minutes a day has reduced my anxiety more than I would have thought possible with any app. Try it for a week, and I think you’ll notice something similar. Here are 30 days for free ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/g3hnh5hm8870lgirh9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0= ).
The Way ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/g3hnh5hm8870lgirh9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0= ) leads you down a single, long-term path that covers all the key areas of a deep and fulfilling meditation practice. It’s an easy and calming way to find more ease and calm. There’s no overwhelming menu of stuff or meditation du jour, just Henry taking you on a logical progression of lessons, one manageable bite at a time. You’ll be learning skills you can actually take into your daily life. Henry’s sessions will become something you look forward to. He’s appeared on my podcast twice and is always a listener favorite. I recently chose to invest in The Way, given all the above, and I’ve been working with Henry and his team to make the app as good as humanly possible. I’ve probably sent a hundred notes on the product, and they’ve been improving it each and every week.
Now, subscribers to 5-Bullet Friday can try 30 days for free, no credit card required. Just go to TheWayApp.com/Tim ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/p8heh9h4wwkpd7hqh3/aHR0cDovL3RoZXdheWFwcC5jb20vVGlt ). Try it for a week, and I think you’ll be more than pleasantly surprised.

Audiobook I just finished

Reality Is Not What It Seems ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/7qh7h8h923nwm8szh6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9kcC9CMDFONDlHVk0xP2x2PXNodWYmdGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjAmY2hhbm5lbElkPTEmcGxwUmVkaXJlY3Q9bWhGYWxsYmFjaw== ) by Carlo Rovelli ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/owhkhqhwm5qg7lbvhr/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvQ2FybG9fUm92ZWxsaQ== ). I loved this book, and it’s nice and short. The audiobook clocks in at around six hours at 1x speed. The prose is gorgeous, and earlier chapters on ancient thinkers (e.g., Democritus) alone make it worth the purchase. Here’s a more complete description:
“Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli takes you on a journey through how our understanding of reality has evolved, from Democritus to Einstein, from Michael Faraday to gravitational waves, and from classical physics to his own pioneering work in quantum gravity. Mind-bending physics made accessible, beautifully narrated by Roy McMillan ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/z2hghnhe20lp88fph0/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXVkaWJsZS5jb20vc2VhcmNoP3NlYXJjaE5hcnJhdG9yPVJveSUyME1jTWlsbGFuJnJlZl9wYWdlbG9hZGlkPXpYcEJPaE5sc2hkVXpheUUmcGZfcmRfcD1mNmRhMGI2My00MzlkLTQ4YTctYTg1OS1iMTg3YjdjNTA3MDUmcGZfcmRfcj04UUs2S0pYQjkzRjFDMzg4RlpaSiZwbGluaz1tV3psWGVIRE9vYlBVUHlCJnBhZ2VMb2FkSWQ9UzhodmV4SDQxSExWZTNTOSZjcmVhdGl2ZUlkPTE2MDE1YmE0LTJlMmQtNGFlMy05M2M1LWU5Mzc3ODFhMjVjZCZyZWY9YV9wZF9SZWFsaXRfcGluX25hcnJhdG9yXzE= ).”
The later chapters on quantum gravity get dense, but the first 50% of this book, plus the conclusion, are fantastic for anyone with a little curiosity and a little patience. This book pairs incredibly well with When We Cease to Understand the World ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/p8heh9h4w8qgl7hqh3/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9kcC8xNjgxMzc1NjY0P2x2PXNodWYmdGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjAmY2hhbm5lbElkPTEmcGxwUmVkaXJlY3Q9bWhGYWxsYmFjaw== ), which I’ve recommended before.

Quote I’m pondering
-------------------
“If you are moved by it, you don’t need it explained to you. If not, no explanation can make you moved by it.”
— Federico Fellini ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/x0hph6hevxq9lnc5hl/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvRmVkZXJpY29fRmVsbGluaQ== ), Italian film director and screenwriter (1920–1993).
----------------------------------
Research and science I’m following
----------------------------------
“How do bilingual brains navigate between languages? Scientists discover ‘geometric neural map.’ ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/6qheh8hl809nd7iohk/aHR0cHM6Ly9uZXdzLnJpY2UuZWR1L25ld3MvMjAyNi9ob3ctZG8tYmlsaW5ndWFsLWJyYWlucy1uYXZpZ2F0ZS1iZXR3ZWVuLWxhbmd1YWdlcy1zY2llbnRpc3RzLWRpc2NvdmVyLWdlb21ldHJpYy1uZXVyYWw= )”
This article describes new research just published in Cell ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/kkhmh6hn04x63nclh7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2NpZW5jZWRpcmVjdC5jb20vc2NpZW5jZS9hcnRpY2xlL3BpaS9TMDA5Mjg2NzQyNjAwNTc5OT92aWElM0RpaHVi ), and it begins with the below paragraph:
“Anyone who speaks more than one language knows the feeling of expressing the same thought through entirely different linguistic lenses. A new study by researchers at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine reveals that the key to this translation ability is a shared geometric map of neural responses in the hippocampus.”
It also discusses how neuroscience and AI may be converging on similar conclusions or underlying principles. It’s exciting stuff. That said, the research was based on only four speakers of English and Spanish. I love the exploration, and there are lots of open questions to ponder:
- Does the conceptual map somehow exist independent of language, or is it created with the learning of your first language? I would bet on the latter.
- English and Spanish share Indo-European structure and Latin-alphabet orthography. Does the mapping differ if you have completely different phonetics (e.g., Chinese) or very different grammar (e.g., Japanese)? Only one or the other? Both? If so, is there a threshold for “different”?
- One of the study’s senior authors described the brain as “keeping languages distinct enough to avoid interference.” But that refers to the proposed neural geometry of meaning, not necessarily to every retrieval slip we make while speaking—and multilingual people do mix things up. It happens a lot.
Sometimes the reasons seem obvious enough: for instance, a native English speaker confuses their Spanish and Portuguese, which are incredibly similar. Other times, it’s less clear what’s going on under the hood. In my case, I have retrieval errors between Spanish and Chinese only when both proficiency levels are near equal, but not when one is lagging behind the other. This is also true if my Japanese approaches my Spanish or I’m relearning German and it gets close to another beginner-level language.
But here is the stranger part – it doesn’t need to be current proficiency! Any point in my life will do.
For instance, if I haven’t studied a language in 20+ years but had a “purple belt” in proficiency at my peak—as was the case with Chinese study ending around 2000—when a new language approaches purple belt, I accidentally recall Chinese words or phrases (e.g., proverbs) that I would not be able to recall deliberately, even with a gun against my head. I’d be curious if anyone else has experienced this bizarre phenomenon (let me know @tferriss ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/58hvh7hgdl6kzka6h4/aHR0cHM6Ly90d2l0dGVyLmNvbS90ZmVycmlzcw== )).
The research is still at the top of the first inning, but I’m thrilled that people are taking swings.

Quote I’m pondering
-------------------
“In looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if they don’t have the first, the other two will kill you.”
— Warren Buffett ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/25h2hoh3pnm4edc3h4/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvV2FycmVuX0J1ZmZldHQ= )
You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my interview ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/g3hnh5hm8xq6kgfrh9/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDIyLzA0LzEzL2RvbmFsZC1ob2ZmbWFuLz91dG1fc291cmNlPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmY= ) with cognitive scientist and psychologist Dr. Donald Hoffman. It’s great for scrambling what you think of as “reality.”

I’ve been eating Maui Nui Venison ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/zluog309e2inhkq3ez6fphwldm0q8h6h687/z2hghnhe2ppoqqiph0/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYXVpbnVpdmVuaXNvbi5jb20vdGlt ) for more than five years, and I eat it practically every week. It’s the cleanest and most nutrient-dense red meat you can buy.
Maui Nui has just released its most important innovation to date: the ʻOhana Reserve Aged Cuts.

The result is a delicious, nutrient-dense protein that’s easy to cook and rivals the choicest cuts of meat I’ve ever had. Reserve Aged Cuts are only available by subscription through the ‘Ohana Reserve Box.

Special that I’m rewatching

Derek DelGaudio’s In & Of Itself ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5md6zguohp4wv37va9h6rd/owhkhqhwm49vgqhvhr/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5odWx1LmNvbS93YXRjaC8xMDAwMTUyMDgwP2Q9R3JhY2Vub3RlJmNtcD1ydF93aGVyZV90b193YXRjaA== ) (Hulu). Derek’s feats of magic are rivaled by his feats of social engineering, memory, and more. I found the entire show incredibly inventive. Even if you don’t have Hulu or won’t subscribe, the trailer here ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5md6zguohp4wv37va9h6rd/p8heh9h4w960gesqh3/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj0wSThzOU96bUhIUQ== ) is worth watching. Description: “Storyteller and conceptual magician Derek DelGaudio attempts to understand the illusory nature of identity and answer the deceptively simple question ‘Who am I?’”

Letter I’m reading
------------------
“We get old and get used to each other. We think alike. We read each others minds. We know what the other wants without asking. Sometimes we irritate each other a little bit. Maybe sometimes take each other for granted. But once in awhile, like today, I meditate on it and realize how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest woman I ever met. You still fascinate and inspire me. You influence me for the better. You’re the object of my desire, the #1 Earthly reason for my existence. I love you very much.”

Anyone can look you up online in about a minute. Search for yourself on a people-search site; you’ll probably find your address, phone number, and relatives sitting there for the taking. Scary stuff.
Incogni ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5md6zguohp4wv37va9h6rd/9qhzhnhdvgwmz2u9h3/aHR0cHM6Ly9kZWFsLmluY29nbmkuaW8vYWZmX2M_b2ZmZXJfaWQ9NiZhZmZfaWQ9MTk0OSZ1cmxfaWQ9MTk2 ) removes your personal info from the web. It automatically contacts the sites and companies that collect and sell your personal details and submits removal requests on your behalf then keeps re-checking, since those sites tend to sneakily re-post your info over time. On the Unlimited plan, you can also flag specific sites the automated sweep might miss.
Deloitte completed an independent assurance report on Incogni ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5md6zguohp4wv37va9h6rd/9qhzhnhdvgwmz2u9h3/aHR0cHM6Ly9kZWFsLmluY29nbmkuaW8vYWZmX2M_b2ZmZXJfaWQ9NiZhZmZfaWQ9MTk0OSZ1cmxfaWQ9MTk2 )’s practices, confirming how many sites it covers, that it keeps re-sending removal requests, and that it doesn’t sell your information. Incogni ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5md6zguohp4wv37va9h6rd/9qhzhnhdvgwmz2u9h3/aHR0cHM6Ly9kZWFsLmluY29nbmkuaW8vYWZmX2M_b2ZmZXJfaWQ9NiZhZmZfaWQ9MTk0OSZ1cmxfaWQ9MTk2 ) was the first service of its kind to put itself through that kind of third-party review, which is part of why it’s earned Editors’ Choice from both PCMag and PCWorld. Right now Incogni is offering 60% off annual subscriptions with code TIMTIM at checkout, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5md6zguohp4wv37va9h6rd/9qhzhnhdvgwmz2u9h3/aHR0cHM6Ly9kZWFsLmluY29nbmkuaW8vYWZmX2M_b2ZmZXJfaWQ9NiZhZmZfaWQ9MTk0OSZ1cmxfaWQ9MTk2 ).

At 28, I found myself washed up and living in a junior one-bedroom apartment in Washington, DC. I had been the only kid in my Harvard Business School section to graduate without a job. Over the years, my classmates had become partners at Goldman and McKinsey or had started hedge funds, while I managed to get fired from (or was asked to leave) every place I worked.

That’s 8 times more interest than a typical savings account at a bank, according to FDIC.gov as of 1/22/2026 (Wealthfront’s 3.30% APY vs. 0.39% average savings rate). Right now, for a limited time, Wealthfront is offering new clients that use my sign-up link an additional 0.75% boost over the base rate for three months, meaning you can get up to 4.05% APY, limited to $150,000 in deposits.

5-Bullet Friday
***************
The latest from author and investor Tim Ferriss ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/kkhmh6hn05nzvzalh7/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8= )
Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring. I threw in some extra bullets for fun.
This edition is brought to you by Matic ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/58hvh7hgdng32qc6h4/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYXRpY3JvYm90cy5jb20vcHJvZHVjdD91dG1fdGVybT1GUklFTkQtVElNRkVSUklTUw== ), the intelligent robot vacuum and mop that navigates obstacles and needs no babysitting. Be sure to see their offer in the P.S.

What I’m watching
-----------------
The Death of Stalin ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/25h2hoh3p83lw9f3h4/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9EZWF0aC1TdGFsaW4tQXJtYW5kby1JYW5udWNjaS9kcC9CMERUMU43N1NSLz90YWc9b2Zmc2l0b2Z0aW1mZS0yMA== ) (94% on Rotten Tomatoes) This was brutally hilarious. The star performances from Steve Buscemi and others alone make it worth a watch, but the film is also broadly historically accurate. From the description: “The internal political landscape of 1950s Soviet Russia takes on darkly comic form in a film by Emmy Award-winning [for Veep ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/qvh8h7hdm4deppclhk/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucm90dGVudG9tYXRvZXMuY29tL3R2L3ZlZXA= )] and Oscar-nominated [for In the Loop ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/g3hnh5hm8lmgw5trh9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucm90dGVudG9tYXRvZXMuY29tL20vaW5fdGhlX2xvb3A= )] writer/director Armando Iannucci ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/9qhzhnhdv6d4rva9h3/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvQXJtYW5kb19JYW5udWNjaQ== ).”

What I’m exploring currently

Book I’m rereading

Buffalo for the Broken Heart: Restoring Life to a Black Hills Ranch ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/reh8hohml3mkz8u2h6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9CdWZmYWxvLUJyb2tlbi1IZWFydC1SZXN0b3JpbmctQmxhY2svZHAvMDM3NTc2MTM5WC8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA= ) by Dan O’Brien ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/08hwh9h2692n50slh5/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvRGFuX08nQnJpZW5fKGF1dGhvcik= ). From the description: “For twenty years, Dan O’Brien struggled to make ends meet on his cattle ranch in South Dakota. But when a neighbor invited him to lend a hand at the annual buffalo roundup, O’Brien was inspired to convert his own ranch, the Broken Heart, to buffalo. Starting with thirteen calves, ‘short-necked, golden balls of wool,’ O’Brien embarked on a journey that returned buffalo to his land for the first time in more than a century and a half. Buffalo for the Broken Heart is at once a tender account of the buffaloes’ first seasons on the ranch and an engaging lesson in wildlife ecology. … O’Brien combines a novelist’s eye for detail with a naturalist’s understanding to create an enriching, entertaining narrative.”

Quotes I’m pondering
--------------------
“Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.”
— Claude Monet

“I think I’m greedy, but I’m not greedy for money—I think that can be a burden—I’m greedy for an exciting life.”
— David Hockney

You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my brand-new interview ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/e0hph7h73l7mgnb8h2/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzA2LzE3L3NlYmFzdGlhbi1tYWxsYWJ5Lz91dG1fc291cmNlPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmY= ) with New York Times bestselling author Sebastian Mallaby about his biography of Demis Hassabis—co-founder and CEO of Google DeepMind—and the race to superintelligence.

P.S. Deal of the Week — Matic ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/58hvh7hgdng32qc6h4/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYXRpY3JvYm90cy5jb20vcHJvZHVjdD91dG1fdGVybT1GUklFTkQtVElNRkVSUklTUw== ), the intelligent robot vacuum and mop that navigates obstacles and needs no babysitting!

Matic ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/58hvh7hgdng32qc6h4/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYXRpY3JvYm90cy5jb20vcHJvZHVjdD91dG1fdGVybT1GUklFTkQtVElNRkVSUklTUw== ) is the closest thing to a house that cleans itself. It's quiet enough that you forget it’s running, and it’s smart enough to leave your charging cables alone. The reviewers agree: WIRED gave it a rare 10/10, and to quote The Verge, “This WALL-E-like bot fixes the stuff every other robot vacuum gets wrong.”
When I asked my audience on social media about Matic ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/58hvh7hgdng32qc6h4/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYXRpY3JvYm90cy5jb20vcHJvZHVjdD91dG1fdGVybT1GUklFTkQtVElNRkVSUklTUw== ), the response was euphorically positive, and I got a flood of texts from 10+ friends who are converts. Fans include Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke, my friends Kevin Rose and Naval Ravikant, and many others.
If you're a parent, have pets, or just refuse to spend your Sundays vacuuming, Matic ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/58hvh7hgdng32qc6h4/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYXRpY3JvYm90cy5jb20vcHJvZHVjdD91dG1fdGVybT1GUklFTkQtVElNRkVSUklTUw== ) is the best “set it and forget it” option on the market.

My head has been spinning after getting a spreadsheet roughly a week ago.
Before we dive into my dirty laundry, let’s state the obvious: millions of people have a vague sense that AI is changing things. And LLMs sure are convenient for getting answers quickly. My team and I use Claude and other tools daily.
But far fewer people have first-hand experience with the speed and intensity of disruption that’s happening. Not in a year, not in six months, but right now.
So let me show you, using my own books as the cadaver on the table, what a fatality looks like.

One name that has come up on this podcast more than once is Dr. Valter Longo, a USC professor with decades of peer-reviewed research on fasting, nutrition, and aging. I regularly fast and have done a lot of experiments with fasting over more than a decade, and it has been one of the most incredible unlocks that I have found for both near- and long-term physical and mental health.
But fasting can be really hard, and that is why Dr. Longo, best known for the Fast Mimicking Diet (FMD), developed ProLon ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h58m97ouohp428dega9h6rd/wnh2hghqpz06o4f7hx/aHR0cHM6Ly9wcm9sb25saWZlLmNvbS9UaW0= ). For 5 days, you’re able to get the benefits of fasting—including autophagy, your body’s cellular, self cleanup process—all while eating real, structured, plant-based meals. In scientific studies, 5-day cycles of the Fast Mimicking Diet improved markers tied to metabolic health and biological aging and helped people drop fat while holding onto lean muscle. And ProLon makes it easy: it comes in one box, everything is clearly laid out, and there’s no guesswork. For a limited time, Prolon is offering my listeners 15% off site wide, plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-day program.

Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.
This edition is brought to you by Our Place, makers of the Titanium Always Pan Pro ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/kkhmh6hnqo26r8ilh7/aHR0cHM6Ly9mcm9tb3VycGxhY2UuY29tL3BhZ2VzL3RpbS1mZXJyaXNzP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1USU0tZW1haWwmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1wb2RjYXN0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YXVkaW8= ), my go-to cooking pan. Most nonstick pans can release PFAS, also referred to as “forever chemicals,” and I prefer to dodge the toxins. Read more in the P.S.

What I’m listening to

“A rational conversation on where AI is actually going ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/48hvhehme7q6vlfxh7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGVubnlzbmV3c2xldHRlci5jb20vcC9hLXJhdGlvbmFsLWNvbnZlcnNhdGlvbi1vbi13aGVyZQ== )” on Lenny Rachitsky’s podcast. This is the best AI-related podcast episode I’ve heard in months. This middle-ground discussion, based on a lot of real data, stands out, as I’m tired of armies of techno-optimists selling near-instant superabundance and techno-doomers forecasting Mad Max without any citations. Benedict is sharp, and many of his comparisons and lenses were new to me.
The official description from Lenny’s site:
Benedict Evans ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/wnh2hghqplvxn6c7hx/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmVuLWV2YW5zLmNvbS8= ) is an independent analyst and former partner at Andreessen Horowitz, where he spent years as their in-house “thinker” tracking the most important technology trends. For the past six years, he’s been publishing deeply researched presentations on where tech is heading, most recently focused on AI’s transformation of the economy. His work is read by founders, investors, and operators trying to make sense of a noisy field. His most controversial opinion: AI is as big a deal as the internet or mobile—and only as big.

Can a great artist help turn despair into something else through his craft? It’s a riveting watch.

Book highlight I’m pondering
----------------------------
The below is from Sebastian Mallaby ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/m2h7h5h3pl0mvxamhq/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvU2ViYXN0aWFuX01hbGxhYnk= )’s The Infinity Machine: Demis Hassabis, DeepMind, and the Quest for Superintelligence ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/dpheh0heg2w8v3amh4/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9JbmZpbml0eS1NYWNoaW5lLUhhc3NhYmlzLURlZXBNaW5kLVN1cGVyaW50ZWxsaWdlbmNlL2RwL0IwRlNTVDJSTE4_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA= ):
I recalled a line from the Life Story ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/e0hph7h7gdwqv9h8h2/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvTGlmZV9TdG9yeV8oZmlsbSk= ) movie, which had inspired Hassabis ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/7qh7h8h97xpwlkazh6/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvRGVtaXNfSGFzc2FiaXM= ) [co-founder of DeepMind] to apply to Cambridge. “I’m one of the believers,” says Watson, the codiscoverer of DNA. “Blessed are they who believed before there was any evidence.”
TF: This one alludes to believing a problem is soluble without much evidence to support the conviction. How does that square—or not—with science itself? Can you artfully combine limited faith with science to drive breakthroughs, or is it a slippery slope to intellectual perdition? If possibly both, how do you bias towards the former?
You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my brand-new interview ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/owhkhqhwv0lg96ivhr/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzA2LzEwL21heC1sZXZjaGluLTIvP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTViZg== ) with Max Levchin, a serial entrepreneur, computer scientist, philanthropist, and active investor in more than 100 startups. Max is the founder and CEO of Affirm ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/z2hghnhevmrp67iph0/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYWZmaXJtLmNvbS8= ) and was one of the original co-founders of PayPal ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/p8heh9h40p5g65sqh3/cGF5cGFsLmNvbQ== ).
And, as always, please give me feedback on X. 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 ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/x0hph6he64d92lt5hl/aHR0cHM6Ly90d2l0dGVyLmNvbS90ZmVycmlzcw== ) 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 — The Titanium Pro Cookware Set from Our Place ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/kkhmh6hnqo26r8ilh7/aHR0cHM6Ly9mcm9tb3VycGxhY2UuY29tL3BhZ2VzL3RpbS1mZXJyaXNzP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1USU0tZW1haWwmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1wb2RjYXN0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YXVkaW8= )!

Home cooks have always had to choose between stainless steel and nonstick. Stainless steel is durable and safe, but food sticks. Nonstick is easy to clean, but the coatings can slough off over time and be toxic. That’s why I use the Titanium Always Pan Pro ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/kkhmh6hnqo26r8ilh7/aHR0cHM6Ly9mcm9tb3VycGxhY2UuY29tL3BhZ2VzL3RpbS1mZXJyaXNzP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1USU0tZW1haWwmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1wb2RjYXN0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YXVkaW8= ) from Our Place. It’s built on a stainless steel foundation, and it’s the first nonstick pan with zero coating—meaning no PFAS “forever chemicals,” no coating to flake or chip, and durability designed to last a lifetime.
I literally use Our Place daily at home.
Our Place has now expanded the lineup with the Titanium Pro Cookware Set ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/kkhmh6hnqo26r8ilh7/aHR0cHM6Ly9mcm9tb3VycGxhY2UuY29tL3BhZ2VzL3RpbS1mZXJyaXNzP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1USU0tZW1haWwmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1wb2RjYXN0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YXVkaW8= ), bringing the same PFAS-free, high-performance design to a full collection of cookware. You get the durability and performance of stainless steel with the easy cleaning of nonstick. Head to FromOurPlace.com/Tim ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/kkhmh6hnqo26r8ilh7/aHR0cHM6Ly9mcm9tb3VycGxhY2UuY29tL3BhZ2VzL3RpbS1mZXJyaXNzP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1USU0tZW1haWwmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1wb2RjYXN0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YXVkaW8= ) and use code TIM for 10% off your first order.

How I’m finally getting in more Zone 2 cardio

M3i Studio Indoor Bike | Keiser ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/gkuvnml205a5hl86e9lcrh8ol7gkqtmh8ed/wnh2hghqp7zwxlu7hx/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cua2Vpc2VyLmNvbS9zaG9wL2NhcmRpby1lcXVpcG1lbnQvbTNpLWluZG9vci1iaWtlP3Nyc2x0aWQ9QWZtQk9vcU5tanEzR3NkMVNTNndVYWNkNjZTMmRnY1VUM2RkOFdCbVRocEdFWE1xcl9oRjdHWFk= ). I’ve tried a lot of stationary bikes, including very fancy indoor trainers, for getting in Zone 2 cardio and VO2 max training. I hate nearly all of them. This M3i is *not* fancy, but it does allow me to elevate the handlebars enough so that (1) I’m not bumping my thighs into my stomach like a one-hour Heimlich maneuver, and (2) it doesn’t make my low back incredibly grumpy. The controls are simple, it’s durable, I don’t use an app with it, and, so far, it’s the only indoor bike that I’ve used consistently. And more good news: it’s found in a lot of commercial gyms.
Google AI overview: “The Keiser M3i Indoor Bike is highly acclaimed by users and reviewers, often considered one of the best, most durable, and smoothest commercial-grade spin bikes for home use. Key praise centers on its whisper-quiet magnetic resistance, excellent durability, and accurate power data.”

Book highlight I am pondering

“Within the space of a mere hundred years, human beings have abandoned their biologically mandated need for adequate sleep—one that evolution spent 3,400,000 years perfecting in service of life-support functions.”

P.S. Deal of the Week — 40% off of supplements I trust and use ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/gkuvnml205a5hl86e9lcrh8ol7gkqtmh8ed/owhkhqhwv9zrg4bvhr/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGl2ZW1vbWVudG91cy5jb20vZGlzY291bnQvQ0VMRUJSQVRFP3JlZGlyZWN0PSUyRnBhZ2VzJTJGbW9tZW50b3VzLWFubml2ZXJzYXJ5LXNhbGUmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1uZXdzbGV0dGVyJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09c3BvbmNvbiZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249dGltZmVycmlzcyZ1dG1fY29udGVudD1hbm5pdi1zYWxl )...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The supplement industry is largely the Wild West. Did you know that many products contain absolutely *none* of their claimed active ingredients? In other cases, products can contain up to 10x the label amounts, making them potentially dangerous. I don’t like gambling.
Momentous ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/gkuvnml205a5hl86e9lcrh8ol7gkqtmh8ed/owhkhqhwv9zrg4bvhr/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGl2ZW1vbWVudG91cy5jb20vZGlzY291bnQvQ0VMRUJSQVRFP3JlZGlyZWN0PSUyRnBhZ2VzJTJGbW9tZW50b3VzLWFubml2ZXJzYXJ5LXNhbGUmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1uZXdzbGV0dGVyJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09c3BvbmNvbiZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249dGltZmVycmlzcyZ1dG1fY29udGVudD1hbm5pdi1zYWxl ) is at the top of the short list of brands that I trust. Every product of theirs is NSF Certified for Sport®, meaning it’s independently verified and what’s on the label is confirmed to be in the bottle. Their own commitment to the highest quality ingredient sourcing, The Momentous Standard®, adds another layer of analysis and reassurance. That rigor is why their products are trusted by hundreds of elite sports organizations, including all 32 NFL teams. It is also why the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger partnered with Momentous above all others.

Mike was the kind soul who taught me the fundamentals of angel investing ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h509p2pclhopzpl84h8h08x/g3hnh5hm5gmg60br/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDE3LzEyLzE2L3RoZS1tYW4td2hvLXRhdWdodC1tZS1ob3ctdG8taW52ZXN0Lw== ) back in 2007/2008.

From his Wikipedia page:
[Crichton] explained that he had chosen the name ironically, because he had once discussed the effect with physicist Murray Gell-Mann, "and by dropping a famous name I imply greater importance to myself, and to the effect, than it would otherwise have."
Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect works as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward-reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story-and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read with renewed interest as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about far-off Palestine than it was about the story you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

If you’re on social media, even as a casual browser, you should read this entire piece. It’ll give you 100 more reasons to delete your accounts and find better and safer hobbies. A few excerpts from the article:
Joe Lim estimates that 90 percent of what you see on the internet is advertising in disguise, and he should know. For three years, Lim ran a company called Floodify, which at its peak operated 65,000 dummy social-media accounts used to drum up attention on behalf of paying clients. On a typical day, he says, Floodify posted 50,000 videos across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X, all of them designed to pass for the unscripted output of ordinary users.
…
We’ve locked ourselves in the stupidest possible version of Plato’s cave, where what looks like the spontaneous consensus of the hive mind is often just shadows on the wall, put there by marketers, political operatives, foreign-influence campaigns, or anyone else with a few hundred bucks and something to sell. “Everybody is doing this now,” Lim says.
…
When we last spoke, he was building a new company and thinking even further ahead. “All of this nonsense is only going to last three to five more years, because in the future, people will stop trusting what they see on social media.” By then, the job will have moved one layer up. “You’ll have to start distributing your content toward AI agents and then they’ll teach humans what they want.”

P.S. Deal of the Week — Matic ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/r8u984650rioh3l7p7vt2hd0qxx5rc7hzrx/3ohphkh3l4lvkgar/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYXRpY3JvYm90cy5jb20vcHJvZHVjdD91dG1fdGVybT1GUklFTkQtVElNRkVSUklTUw== ), the intelligent robot vacuum and mop that navigates obstacles and needs no babysitting!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matic ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/r8u984650rioh3l7p7vt2hd0qxx5rc7hzrx/3ohphkh3l4lvkgar/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYXRpY3JvYm90cy5jb20vcHJvZHVjdD91dG1fdGVybT1GUklFTkQtVElNRkVSUklTUw== ) is the closest thing to a house that cleans itself. It's quiet enough that you forget it's running, and it’s smart enough to leave your charging cables alone. The reviewers agree: WIRED gave it a 10/10 and The Verge said: “This WALL-E-like bot fixes the stuff every other robot vacuum gets wrong.”
When I asked my audience on social media about Matic ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/r8u984650rioh3l7p7vt2hd0qxx5rc7hzrx/3ohphkh3l4lvkgar/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYXRpY3JvYm90cy5jb20vcHJvZHVjdD91dG1fdGVybT1GUklFTkQtVElNRkVSUklTUw== ), the response was euphorically positive, and I got a flood of texts from 10+ friends who are converts. Fans include Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke, my friends Kevin Rose and Naval Ravikant, and many others.
If you're a parent, have pets, or just refuse to spend your Sunday vacuuming, Matic ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/r8u984650rioh3l7p7vt2hd0qxx5rc7hzrx/3ohphkh3l4lvkgar/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYXRpY3JvYm90cy5jb20vcHJvZHVjdD91dG1fdGVybT1GUklFTkQtVElNRkVSUklTUw== ) is the best “set it and forget it” option on the market. Go to MaticRobots.com/Tim ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/r8u984650rioh3l7p7vt2hd0qxx5rc7hzrx/n2hohvhvp6pe7pb6/aHR0cDovL21hdGljcm9ib3RzLmNvbS9UaW0= ) today and experience the closest thing to a house that cleans itself.

Wealthfront is a financial services platform that offers services to help you save and invest your money. Right now, your cash can earn 3.30% ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/p9u9exq6rzi9h2wknv5hqhpq9x6x3srhv8r/z2hghnhev33xqpip/aHR0cDovL3dlYWx0aGZyb250LmNvbS9UaW0= ) APY—that’s the Annual Percentage Yield—with the Wealthfront Cash Account from its network of program banks. That’s 8 times more interest than a typical savings account at a bank, according to FDIC.gov as of 1/22/2026 (Wealthfront’s 3.30% APY vs. 0.39% average savings rate). Right now, for a limited time, Wealthfront is offering new clients that use my sign-up link an additional 0.75% boost over the base rate for three months, meaning you can get up to 4.05% APY, limited to $150,000 in deposits. Terms & Conditions apply. Visit Wealthfront.com/Tim ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/p9u9exq6rzi9h2wknv5hqhpq9x6x3srhv8r/z2hghnhev33xqpip/aHR0cDovL3dlYWx0aGZyb250LmNvbS9UaW0= ) to get started.
The Cash Account, which is not a deposit account, is offered by Wealthfront Brokerage LLC (“WFB”), member FINRA/SIPC. Wealthfront Brokerage is not a bank. The 3.30% Base APY on cash deposits is as of January 30, 2026, is representative, subject to change, and requires no minimum balance. The overall boosted rate is subject to change if the base rate decreases during the three-month promotional period. Tim Ferriss, who’s not a client, receives cash compensation from Wealthfront Brokerage LLC for advertising and holds a non-controlling equity interest in the corporate parent of Wealthfront Brokerage LLC, which creates an incentive that results in a conflict of interest.

5-Bullet Friday
***************
The latest from author and investor Tim Ferriss ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/25h2hoh3zewekdb3/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8= )
Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.
This issue is brought to you by Incogni ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/qvh8h7hd50p09qbl/aHR0cHM6Ly9kZWFsLmluY29nbmkuaW8vYWZmX2M_b2ZmZXJfaWQ9NiZhZmZfaWQ9MTk0OSZ1cmxfaWQ9MTk2 ), which automatically removes your personal information from the web, helping to keep you safe online and off. Data protection is fast becoming a necessity these days and not a luxury. Be sure to check out their offer in the P.S.
-------------------------------
Song I’m listening to yet again
-------------------------------
Ya Habibi Ta’ala - يا حبيبي تعالَ - Lynn Adib & Zeid Hamdan ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/g3hnh5hm5kwk4gir/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1lcW1Xa3FoMWt0OA== ). Lynn’s vocals are otherworldly. One of the top comments says it all: liquid gold. This is a short clip, and you will play it more than once.
-------------------
Article I’m reading
-------------------
“Riding the Leopard ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/9qhzhnhdmlrlo0u9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubm90Ym9yaW5nLmNvL3AvcmlkaW5nLXRoZS1sZW9wYXJk )” by Packy McCormick ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/3ohphkh3lngnemfr/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubm90Ym9yaW5nLmNvL2Fib3V0 ).
----------------------------
What I’m wearing in the heat
----------------------------
Quince’s Mesh-Stitch Button-Up Sweater Polo ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/n2hohvhvpk0kz0a6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucXVpbmNlLmNvbS9tZW4vbWVucy1tZXNoLXN0aXRjaC1vcmdhbmljLWNvdHRvbi1idXR0b24tdGhyb3VnaC1wb2xv ). I normally avoid pure cotton, as I find it itchy, but my lovely lady wants to reduce synthetics (polyester, nylon, etc.) in the house and on our bodies. She suggested I try some of the cotton shirts from Quince, and this polo ended up being a hit. It is incredibly breathable, nearly impossible for me to wrinkle, and uses Organic Content Standard (OCS) certified cotton fiber that isn’t treated with pesticides, insecticides, or herbicides.
---------------------------------
What I’m drinking in the mornings
---------------------------------
Brodo Bone Broth ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/48hvhehmen8n4esx/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYnJvZG8uY29tL3Byb2R1Y3QvYnJvZG8tc3RhcnRlci1ib3gv ). Broth is one of the easiest ways to get quality protein and nutrition first thing in the morning. For the past two months, I’ve been having 1–2 Brodo packets per day, often simply poured into a mug and microwaved for 60 seconds.
Brodo was founded by Chef Marco Canora, who was one of my primary teachers in The 4-Hour Chef ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/wnh2hghqp363e2s7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS80LUhvdXItQ2hlZi1Db29raW5nLUxlYXJuaW5nLUFueXRoaW5nL2RwLzEzMjg1MTkxNjMvP3RhZz1vZmZzaXRvZnRpbWZlLTIw ). Marco is the real deal. He won a James Beard Award for Best Chef: New York City, which is like winning an Oscar in the food world, and he has plenty of other awards and accolades to boot.
Brodo quickly became the most famous broth in NYC. The challenge for Marco has always been creating versions of his broths that (A) were shelf-stable, (B) met his high standards, and (C) didn’t require refrigeration… which he finally nailed.
My favorite flavors so far are Tuscan Sun and Tom Yum, which are included in their sampler box ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/48hvhehmen8n4esx/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYnJvZG8uY29tL3Byb2R1Y3QvYnJvZG8tc3RhcnRlci1ib3gv ). If you wanna get fancy, you can use a milk frother to buzz extra-virgin olive oil (I like Kosterina ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/reh8hohmrezeggb2/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cua29zdGVyaW5hLmNvbS9jb2xsZWN0aW9ucy9vbGl2ZS1vaWw_c3JzbHRpZD1BZm1CT29wQlprTExBMXNhV2ItU1ZJeFhQVFhaNVNESkdJbWRqYm1KeDN2dFNIQUd5Z0E5ZHZpZQ== )) into Tuscan Sun, and you can squeeze some lime juice into the Tom Yum for extra pop.
-------------------
Quote I’m pondering
-------------------
“There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/08hwh9h25krk3lul/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvRnJpZWRyaWNoX05pZXR6c2NoZQ== ), Thus Spoke Zarathustra ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/8ghqhohovxnxm7sk/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvVGh1c19TcG9rZV9aYXJhdGh1c3RyYQ== )

You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my brand-new interview ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/l2hehmhl9z7z8gb6/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzA1LzIwL3NhbWktaW5raW5lbi8_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9tZWRpdW09Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249NWJm ) with world-class endurance athlete and Virta Health founder Sami Inkinen.
And, as always, please give me feedback on X. 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 ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/m2h7h5h3p7z74kfm/aHR0cHM6Ly90d2l0dGVyLmNvbS90ZmVycmlzcw== ) and put #5BulletFriday at the end so I can find it.
Have a wonderful weekend, all.
Much love to you and yours,

Readers of The 4-Hour Workweek know I love automation. Anywhere I can “set it and forget it” is a win and gives me more time for the things I enjoy. That’s why I’m such a fan of Matic. As their tagline goes, “the world’s most advanced floor cleaner.” Matic ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/p9u9exq6rzi9h20n08vbqhpq64op2brhv8r/6qheh8hlg66nvvho/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYXRpY3JvYm90cy5jb20vVGlt ) learns your home and runs quietly in the background. It vacuums, mops, docks itself, and doesn’t strangle itself on charging cables or get wedged under your couch. I put out a note on social asking how people liked it, and the response was overwhelmingly positive ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/p9u9exq6rzi9h20n08vbqhpq64op2brhv8r/58hvh7hg8ookvnb6/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS90ZmVycmlzcy9zdGF0dXMvMjAzOTE3MjMwMjk0NDg0MTc0Nj9sYW5nPWVu ).
The Verge writes, “This WALL-E-like bot fixes the stuff every other robot vacuum gets wrong.” And Wired says it’s “the best robot vacuum we’ve tested, and it scored a rare 10 out of 10.” Both Silicon Valley legend Naval Ravikant and Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke love theirs and are investors, and my friend Kevin Rose has been raving about his. Go to MaticRobots.com/Tim ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/p9u9exq6rzi9h20n08vbqhpq64op2brhv8r/6qheh8hlg66nvvho/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYXRpY3JvYm90cy5jb20vVGlt ) today and experience the closest thing to a house that cleans itself. New customers get free bags for a year.
This episode is also brought to you by Our Place’s Titanium Always Pan® Pro ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/p9u9exq6rzi9h20n08vbqhpq64op2brhv8r/kkhmh6hnq226gdfl/aHR0cHM6Ly9mcm9tb3VycGxhY2UuY29tL3RpbQ== )! Many nonstick pans can release harmful “forever chemicals”—PFAS—into your food, your home, and, ultimately, your body. Teflon is a prime example—it is *the* forever chemical that most companies are still using. Exposure to PFAS has been linked to major health issues like gut microbiome disruption, testosterone dysregulation, and more, which have been correlated to chronic disease in the long term. This is why I use the Titanium Always Pan Pro from today’s sponsor, Our Place. ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/p9u9exq6rzi9h20n08vbqhpq64op2brhv8r/kkhmh6hnq226gdfl/aHR0cHM6Ly9mcm9tb3VycGxhY2UuY29tL3RpbQ== ) It’s the first nonstick pan with zero coating. This means zero “forever chemicals” and a durability that will last a lifetime. That’s right—no degradation over time like traditional nonstick pans.
This pan combines the best qualities of stainless steel, cast iron, and nonstick into one product. It’s tough enough to withstand the dishwasher, open flame, heavy-duty scrubbing—even metal utensils—without losing any of its non-stick properties.

Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.
This edition is brought to you by The Way ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/25h2hoh3zrwxezi3/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0= ), the meditation app I use most often. Be sure to see their offer in the P.S.

Mini-documentary I’m very excited to share
------------------------------------------
Prisoner No More ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/qvh8h7hd5gp30mcl/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1GY1EzRUxMTGdxYw== ). This documentary tells the story of the most incredible transformation I’ve ever seen. It follows Tae Jin Park, a young man diagnosed with cerebral palsy and autism, who dismantled every limitation medical science predicted for him. Through athletic and mental training under Olympic strength coach Jerzy Gregorek ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/g3hnh5hm57w2k4br/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzA1LzE0L2plcnp5LWdyZWdvcmVrLWNlcmVicmFsLXBhbHN5Lz91dG1fc291cmNlPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmY= ), Tae Jin’s story redefines what is possible. To watch or listen to my brand-new interview with Jerzy, in which we go deeper in how he trained Tae Jin with his methodology of micro-progressions, click here ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/g3hnh5hm57w2k4br/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzA1LzE0L2plcnp5LWdyZWdvcmVrLWNlcmVicmFsLXBhbHN5Lz91dG1fc291cmNlPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmY= ). Special thanks to director Jeff Wolfe ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/9qhzhnhdmkr8l5a9/aHR0cHM6Ly93b2xmZXByaWRlcHJvZHVjdGlvbnMuY29tLw== ) for allowing me to share the documentary on my YouTube channel for free, as this case study needs to be seen to be believed.
Once you’ve seen the mini-doc, if you’d like to help bring Jerzy’s method to more people with cerebral palsy in a scientific study, please fill out this form ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/3ohphkh3l6g8nksr/aHR0cDovL2Zvcm1zLmdsZS9maXFRdTdFODc1b3JWbjNqNw== ). If you’d like to help Jeff turn this mini-doc into a series about people who beat the odds, please see the description under the video ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/qvh8h7hd5gp30mcl/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1GY1EzRUxMTGdxYw== ).

This is a wild read. There are some very smart lessons in here for those who read carefully. One benefit of the 2019 publication date is that you can now look up how his older investments (e.g., Heico) and newer bets at the time of its writing (e.g., GE) turned out. It’s practically the stuff of fantasy.

What I’m listening to
---------------------
I decided to include a couple of unusual tracks from my playlist:
“Dead to Me ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/wnh2hghqp96do9u7/aHR0cHM6Ly9tdXNpYy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PXNxbEdzSVJHaVNRJnNpPXo4TmVJUngyQWpHa2xFcmU= )” (YouTube ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/wnh2hghqp96do9u7/aHR0cHM6Ly9tdXNpYy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PXNxbEdzSVJHaVNRJnNpPXo4TmVJUngyQWpHa2xFcmU= ), Spotify ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/reh8hohmr9zp52u2/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL3RyYWNrLzVkeDk1akhtRU1TdmJxNEV5RzJQZWU= ), Apple Music ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/08hwh9h250r479cl/aHR0cHM6Ly9tdXNpYy5hcHBsZS5jb20vZ2Ivc29uZy9kZWFkLXRvLW1lLzE2NTcxMzc2NjU= )) by TINAMINA ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/8ghqhohoven853hk/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9ha2F0aW5hbWluYS8= ). Anglo-Korean R&B. Found this through a niche video on storyboarding in the development of K-Pop Demon Hunters.
“Pisces (Live Session) ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/vqh3hrho72r6k3ug/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1TUU50R29NM0ZWVQ== )” by JINJER ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/l2hehmhl957pkzi6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9qaW5qZXJfb2ZmaWNpYWwv ). Ukrainian shapeshifting? Be sure to listen to the first two minutes for the surprise transformation. It’s no joke, and she sounds the same in live performances. As commenter @davidacus956 put it, “I heard this on Spotify and was like ‘I like the distinction between the two vocalists’ and then I watched this.”

Blog post I’m reading
---------------------
“Getting closer to Her: From Moshi to Thinking Machines Interaction Model ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/m2h7h5h3pkzxnnsm/aHR0cHM6Ly9wb2x5bWF0aDcwNy5zdWJzdGFjay5jb20vcC9nZXR0aW5nLWNsb3Nlci10by1oZXItZnJvbS1tb3NoaQ== ).” How do we actually get to the Scarlett Johansson companion in the movie Her ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/dpheh0hegznx7qfm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9IZXItSm9hcXVpbi1QaG9lbml4L2RwL0IwMEtBVFkyNTAvP3RhZz1vZmZzaXRvZnRpbWZlLTIw )?
From the above piece: “Real-time voice assistants [have been] small and dumb because anything bigger could not respond inside a human’s patience window. Frontier reasoning models [have been] astonishing in benchmark tables, but their real-time voice versions [feel lacking].”
So what to do? Sure, you can try and cascade models together, but then you’re “adding latency, each handoff losing context, each silence between turns reminding you that you were talking to a machine.”
Diving back into the blog post:
The interaction-model / background-model ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/e0hph7h7g9ozn0c8/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS90aGlua3ltYWNoaW5lcy9zdGF0dXMvMjA1MzkzODg5MjE1MjQzNTE3ND9zPTIw ) split is the first credible answer to that triangle. By assigning the two halves of intelligence to different hardware on different latency budgets, the architecture sidesteps the trade-off rather than negotiating with it. The half that has to be present is allowed to be small, fast, multimodal, and continuously attentive — five times a second, no exceptions. The half that has to be smart is free to be enormous, slow, deliberative, and tool-using, because it is never on the critical path of the 200ms cadence. Neither side is asked to compromise on what it is good at. The user experiences both, fused.
What does that unlock concretely? Consider the experiences that have been technically promised for a decade and have never quite worked:
…
A cooking companion that watches your hands through your phone camera, calls out that the onions are about to burn, and pulls up a substitute when you realise you’re out of cumin — without any of those interactions feeling like separate apps. The visual perception is handled in the 200ms loop. The recipe knowledge, the substitution reasoning, the meal-planning context lives in the background.
...
A workplace assistant that is actually in the meeting with you, not transcribing it for later. It can interject with the relevant figure when someone mis-cites a number, surface the Slack thread that supersedes a decision being re-debated, and do all of that without the awkward “OK assistant, are you there?” preamble that makes today’s tools feel like talking to a Roomba.
…
The pattern is the same in every case: the experience becomes natural when being there and being smart stop competing for the same compute budget.
…
This is what people mean when they say voice is the next interface. It was never really about voice. It was about whether intelligence could show up in the room without making you wait for it. The split architecture ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/e0hph7h7g9ozn0c8/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS90aGlua3ltYWNoaW5lcy9zdGF0dXMvMjA1MzkzODg5MjE1MjQzNTE3ND9zPTIw ) is the first proof that it can.
Be sure to peruse the entire piece.
Not to sound like Yogi Berra ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/7qh7h8h97v5e49fz/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvWW9naV9CZXJyYSMlMjJZb2dpLWlzbXMlMjI= ), but the future is coming a lot sooner than expected.

Quote I’m pondering
-------------------
“The first objective was to give as many students as possible an early sense of achievement within the first half hour. Using one of his many heuristic techniques—described as ‘mental hooks’—[Michel Thomas ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/owhkhqhwv3de8giv/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvTWljaGVsX1Rob21hcw== )] demonstrated to the class that they already possessed a French vocabulary of as many as three thousand words or more. And that these were not ‘baby’ words, but complex adult words, so they did not have to begin learning as children. He pointed out that most English words ending in -tion, -able, -ence and -ism were the same in French (condition, capable, experience, realism). And that many English words ending in ‘y’ had an ‘e’ in French: fraternity, paternity, liberty and so on.”

You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my very first interview with Jerzy ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/x0hph6he680m7kh5/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDE3LzAzLzE2L2plcnp5LWdyZWdvcmVrLz91dG1fc291cmNlPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmY= ), which also features investor Naval Ravikant, who originally introduced me to Jerzy.

P.S. Deal of the Week — The Way meditation training program ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/25h2hoh3zrwxezi3/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0= ). 10 minutes a day might change your life...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve explored a lot of meditation practices over the years. My current hands-down favorite, and the easiest way to get back in the habit, is The Way, taught by Zen Master Henry Shukman. Using the app for just 10–20 minutes a day has reduced my anxiety more than I would have thought possible with any app. Try it for a week, and I think you’ll notice something similar. Here are 30 sessions for free ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/25h2hoh3zrwxezi3/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0= ).
The Way ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/25h2hoh3zrwxezi3/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0= ) leads you down a single, long-term path that covers all the key areas of a deep and fulfilling meditation practice. It’s an easy and calming way to find more ease and calm. There’s no overwhelming menu of stuff or meditation du jour, just Henry taking you on a logical progression of lessons, one manageable bite at a time. You’ll be learning skills you can actually take into your daily life. Henry’s sessions will become something you look forward to. He’s appeared on my podcast twice and is always a listener favorite. I recently chose to invest in The Way, given all the above, and I’ve been working with Henry and his team to make the app as good as humanly possible. I’ve probably sent a hundred notes on the product, and they’ve been improving it each and every week.
Now, subscribers to 5-Bullet Friday can try 30 sessions for free, no credit card required. Just go to TheWayApp.com/Tim ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/kkhmh6hnqgvp9wfl/aHR0cDovL3RoZXdheWFwcC5jb20vVGlt ). Try it for a week, and I think you’ll be more than pleasantly surprised.

Many of us feel like we’re drowning in invisible complexity. So I
wanted to hit pause and ask a simple question: What are 1–3
decisions that could dramatically simplify my life in 2026? To
explore that, I invited five long-time listener favorites: Anne

) was a bored college sophomore looking for intellectual
stimulation. Now he commands interviews with Jensen Huang and
Mark Zuckerberg and holds his own with deeply nerdy A.I.
researchers.”
But how did Dwarkesh get started? Good old-fashioned chutzpah,
combined with good writing:
Mr. Patel recorded the first episode of “The Lunar Society,” his
original name for the podcast, from his dorm room at the
University of Texas at Austin in 2020, during the early months of
the Covid pandemic, when he was 19. He was taking online classes,
bored, and thirsty for intellectual engagement. So he did what
any normal college sophomore might do and cold-emailed Bryan
Caplan, a member of George Mason University’s famously
libertarian economics department. In the email, he described how
three Caplan books had shifted his perspective on immigration,
education and how many children to have. Mr. Caplan responded
encouragingly, and after a further friendly exchange, Mr. Patel
asked if he could interview him for a podcast.
…
Besides the podcast, which at the time was largely focused on
economics and history, Mr. Patel wrote blog posts that he now
calls “insight porn.” “The Mystery of the Miracle Year,” which he
published four months after graduating college, explored how
Albert Einstein, among others, did most of his greatest work
within a 12-month span. The post ended with an appeal to free
“smart twentysomethings” from “rote menial work, prevent them
from being overexposed to the current paradigm.” Viewing
conventional wisdom and middle-class drudgery as impediments to
innovation is the kind of self-validating thesis tech
entrepreneurs love. Within two days of its posting, the Y
Combinator co-founder Paul Graham and the venture capitalist Marc

consequentially, Mr. Patel became the 42nd person Jeff Bezos was
following on Twitter. He tweeted about this in wonderment.
“You’re thoughtful and thought-provoking,” Mr. Bezos replied.
“Gratitude. Please keep it up!” In 48 hours, Mr. Patel’s Twitter
followers went from 800 to 14,000. His mother wondered whether he
could ask Mr. Bezos for a job.

One excerpt from the latter:
“Various efforts within the psychopharmacology society aim to
make deprescribing part of regular medical practice. One group is
proposing the creation of a new insurance code so that doctors
can be reimbursed for helping patients get off medications.
Another is developing a clinical tool to help doctors ascertain
whether a patient is a good candidate for deprescribing.”

Quote I’m pondering

“[Michael Levin (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/zluog309e2inhkve7d9tphwlld4z8h6h687/p8heh9h4onrd6zcq/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzAxLzIxL2RyLW1pY2hhZWwtbGV2aW4vP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTViZg==
)] agrees with the plant neurobiologists that neurons are
overrated, and that other cells can do what neurons do, just more
slowly. ‘Whenever I’m at a conference with neuroscientists, I
like to ask them to define a neuron,’ he told me. ‘They list
maybe five things neurons can do, and I point out that every cell
in the body can do those things.’ By which he means, and has
demonstrated, that all cells can communicate (both electrically
and chemically), form networks, and store information. ‘I’m not
denigrating neuroscience,’ he said. ‘I’m saying neuroscience is
widely applicable way beyond neurons. Neuroscience is no more
about neurons than computer science is about your laptop.’ The
term ‘plant neurobiology’ does not offend him.”

P.S. Deal of the Week — Incogni (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/zluog309e2inhkve7d9tphwlld4z8h6h687/kkhmh6hnvkzermtl/aHR0cHM6Ly9kZWFsLmluY29nbmkuaW8vYWZmX2M_b2ZmZXJfaWQ9NiZhZmZfaWQ9MTk0OSZ1cmxfaWQ9MTk2
): Erase your personal info from the web and help stop stalkers,
scammers, and identity thieves.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Scammers don’t dial numbers at random. They buy your phone,
email, and lifestyle details from data brokers, then hunt for the
people who are the most attractive targets or the most likely to
fall for a given scam. The BBC has caught scam call centers on
hidden camera, and one worker bragged about pulling $250,000 from
people in the US and UK. It’s big, and often organized, business.
That's why I recommend Incogni (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/zluog309e2inhkve7d9tphwlld4z8h6h687/kkhmh6hnvkzermtl/aHR0cHM6Ly9kZWFsLmluY29nbmkuaW8vYWZmX2M_b2ZmZXJfaWQ9NiZhZmZfaWQ9MTk0OSZ1cmxfaWQ9MTk2
). It scrubs your data from hundreds of broker sites and keeps
doing it as new ones pop up. In other words: no babysitting from
you required. You cannot stop scammers from existing, but you can
make it a lot harder for them to find and target you. It’s a good
idea to take control of your personal data before someone else
does.

Anywhere I can “set it and forget it” is a win and gives me more
time for the things I enjoy. That’s why I’m such a fan of Matic.

) learns your home and runs quietly in the background. It
vacuums, mops, docks itself, and doesn’t strangle itself on
charging cables or get wedged under your couch. I put out a note
on social asking how people liked it (

), and the response was overwhelmingly positive.
The Verge writes, “This WALL-E-like bot fixes the stuff every
other robot vacuum gets wrong.” And Wired says it’s “the best
robot vacuum we’ve tested, and it scored a rare 10 out of 10.”
Both Silicon Valley legend Naval Ravikant and Shopify CEO Tobi
Lütke love theirs and are investors, and my friend Kevin Rose has
been raving about his. Go to MaticRobots.com/Tim (

philosophical guide in many respects, replete with the dead
serious and spit-up-your-coffee funny. If you work with the
written word in any capacity, I highly recommend this read. For

P.S. Deal of the Week — The Way meditation training program (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/mvue7vnz8rc5hqpq27ofmhrx2z0w9u3hlr9/dpheh0henvk7goim/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0=
). 10 minutes a day might change your life...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve explored a lot of meditation practices over the years. My
current hands-down favorite, and the easiest way to get back in
the habit, is The Way, taught by Zen Master Henry Shukman.
Using the app for just 10–20 minutes a day has reduced my anxiety
more than I would have thought possible with any app. Try it for
a week, and I think you’ll notice something similar. Here are 30
sessions for free (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/mvue7vnz8rc5hqpq27ofmhrx2z0w9u3hlr9/dpheh0henvk7goim/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0=
).
The Way leads you down a single, long-term path that covers all
the key areas of a deep and fulfilling meditation practice. It’s
an easy and calming way to find more ease and calm. There’s no
overwhelming menu of stuff or meditation du jour, just Henry
taking you on a logical progression of lessons, one manageable
bite at a time. You’ll be learning skills you can actually take
into your daily life. Henry’s sessions will become something you
look forward to. He’s appeared on my podcast twice and is always
a listener favorite. I recently chose to invest in The Way, given
all the above, and I’ve been working with Henry and his team to
make the app as good as humanly possible. I’ve probably sent a
hundred notes on the product, and they’ve been improving it each
and every week.
Now, subscribers to 5-Bullet Friday can try 30 sessions for free,

)), associate professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at the
University of Washington, where his research focuses on brain
health.
In this blog post, Tommy covers:
• Why B vitamins and Omega-3s work as a pair (not independently)
to slow brain aging, plus the lab numbers to use as goals
• Air pollution, water contaminants, PFAS, and microplastics:
what the evidence actually says, plus a few simple “set it and
forget it” fixes
• The key role of oral health and products that are easy to
integrate
• The 20-year study behind processing speed training, and why
Super Mario and StarCraft aren’t just for kids
• Why sensory loss and accumulated illness may be stealth drivers
of cognitive decline, and why the shingles vaccine keeps showing
up in dementia research
• Why sleep remains one of the clearest modifiable risk factors
for dementia, plus lesser-known strategies involving glycine,
light therapy, and hemoglobin testing
• And much more...
Tommy’s new book is The Stimulated Mind: Future-Proof Your Brain
from Dementia and Stay Sharp at Any Age (

Cash Account from its network of program banks. That’s 8 times
more interest than a typical savings account at a bank, according
to FDIC.gov as of 1/22/2026 (Wealthfront’s 3.30% APY vs. 0.39%
average savings rate). Right now, for a limited time, Wealthfront
is offering new clients that use my sign-up link an additional
0.75% boost over the base rate for three months, meaning you can
get up to 4.05% APY, limited to $150,000 in deposits. Terms &

The Cash Account, which is not a deposit account, is offered by
Wealthfront Brokerage LLC (“WFB”), member FINRA/SIPC. Wealthfront
Brokerage is not a bank. The 3.30% Base APY on cash deposits is
as of January 30, 2026, is representative, subject to change, and
requires no minimum balance. The overall boosted rate is subject
to change if the base rate decreases during the three-month
promotional period. Tim Ferriss, who’s not a client, receives
cash compensation from Wealthfront Brokerage LLC for advertising
and holds a non-controlling equity interest in the corporate
parent of Wealthfront Brokerage LLC, which creates an incentive
that results in a conflict of interest. Tim expresses his own

5-Bullet Friday

Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m
pondering and exploring. I added an extra bullet for fun.
-----------------
What I’m watching

Eat Drink Man Woman (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/zluog309e2inhkxqzdxuphwl3oozxh6h687/p8heh9h4oz0wqdsq/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1fTVFPRHRVVzhrMCZyY289MQ==
). I've seen this movie at least five times over the past 25
years. It’s a wonderful, feel-good movie, and it will make you
*very* hungry. For the film nerds, it’s one of the early Ang Lee
(
https://click.fourhourmail.com/zluog309e2inhkxqzdxuphwl3oozxh6h687/x0hph6he0w6vqdi5/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvQW5nX0xlZQ==
) films (before Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Brokeback
Mountain; Life of Pi, etc.) that put him on the global map. For
the language nerds, you’ll hear many different flavors of
Mandarin, plus one showcase of Taiwanese.
From the description: “Master Chef Chu (Sihung Lung (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/zluog309e2inhkxqzdxuphwl3oozxh6h687/6qheh8hle7g89dio/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvU2lodW5nX0x1bmc=

daughters, Jia-Jen (Kuei-Mei Yang (

)), a religious chemistry teacher; Jia-Chien (Chien-Lien Wu (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/zluog309e2inhkxqzdxuphwl3oozxh6h687/58hvh7hg2m8d65c6/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvSmFja2x5bl9XdQ==

)), an employee at a fast-food joint. Life at the family’s house
revolves heavily around preparing and eating an elaborate dinner
every Sunday. The stability of these meals gives them all
strength as they deal with new romantic relationships and
disappointments.” You can watch the film for free (

What I’m reading

“Some Contemporary Heresies (

). Having known Kevin a long time, I suspect that these are
collected from some very smart people. Smart doesn’t always equal
right, but it does add a little color to the wild statements.
“Faith in the Possible (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/zluog309e2inhkxqzdxuphwl3oozxh6h687/9qhzhnhdrpmv59t9/aHR0cHM6Ly9yZWlkaG9mZm1hbi5zdWJzdGFjay5jb20vcC9mYWl0aC1pbi10aGUtcG9zc2libGU_bWNfY2lkPTAzNGEwNzI3NGU=

)’s new Substack Theory of the Game. This piece has a good
fine-slicing of the religion of techno-optimism, which is
reframed as creation. His description of the various religious
factions is very good, and I hadn’t seen it put so succinctly
before. One important footnote: read the comments. I’m sharing
this article for the thought-provoking comments as much as I am
for the piece itself. Some of them provide alternative lenses and
more critical views of startups as engines of progress.

glymphatic system is worth getting familiar with. Excerpt: “The
glymphatic system is a glial-based perivascular network that
clears metabolic waste from the central nervous system (CNS), and
its dysfunction is related to neurodegenerative disease.” New
therapies for enhancing CNS glymphatic flow are discussed in this
piece.

Quote I’m pondering
-------------------
“In the family, I learn the complex choreography of love—what it
means to give and take and share, to grow from obedience to
responsibility, to learn, challenge, rebel, make mistakes, to
forgive and be forgiven, to argue and make up, to win without
triumph and know when graciously to lose. It’s where we acquire
emotional intelligence, that delicate negotiation between the
given and the chosen, the things I will and the things resistant
to my will.”

)Welcome to another episode of The Tim Ferriss Show (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh6ddvgktvhqe2p99rcoh75d/owhkhqhwd7emqwuv/aHR0cDovL3RpbS5ibG9nL3BvZGNhc3Q=
).
This is a shorter episode and by request. Many of you have
requested more 4-Hour Workweek Case Studies—conversations with
people who have read the book, applied it, and built lives and
businesses I never could have imagined.
Brian Dean—today’s guest—has a story that starts exactly where a
lot of great stories start: broke, directionless, and eating
canned beef stew in his dad’s basement during the 2008 financial
crisis.
He picked up a copy of The 4-Hour Workweek (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh6ddvgktvhqe2p99rcoh75d/z2hghnhex8z2lpup/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS80LUhvdXItV29ya3dlZWstRXNjYXBlLUxpdmUtQW55d2hlcmUvZHAvMDMwNzQ2NTM1Ny8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA=
) and took action. As is nearly always the case, his path wasn’t
a straight line, but a series of winding turns, all fed by
experiments. Today’s episode covers geoarbitrage, testing
assumptions cheaply, building a muse, automating income, and—the
chapter almost everyone skips—filling the void. His journey
includes failures, two successful exits, and a hard-won answer to
the question most people never think to ask: what do you actually
do with your freedom once you have it?
But who is Brian?
Brian Dean is the founder of Backlinko (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh6ddvgktvhqe2p99rcoh75d/x0hph6he0lmvqxf5/aHR0cHM6Ly9iYWNrbGlua28uY29tLw==
) and Exploding Topics (

), both acquired by Semrush, which itself was recently acquired
by Adobe for $1.9 billion.

Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m
pondering and exploring. I threw in an extra bullet.
This edition is brought to you by Momentous Fiber+ (

hilarious, and uplifting. The trailer is worth 1,000 words, so

Hollywood career. Dangerously determined to redeem his reputation

earn his place in professional wrestling.”

are a handful of great options. This is the best combination of
function and aesthetics that I’ve found. I love the design and am
buying more units for my family. It’s quiet enough to sleep next
to, and it’s beautiful enough to put in your living room. Thank

Study I’m supporting

“Investigating Rapid-Acting TMS for Adolescent Depression (

).” Do you know a teenager (ages 13–20) experiencing symptoms of
depression? If so, this may be worth a look. Dr. Sean O’Sullivan
and his team at UT Austin are running a clinical trial using
accelerated and personalized transcranial magnetic stimulation
(TMS) to treat depression. It is drug-free, and the treatment is
only five days long.
This is the very approach I’ve used personally, and I had my most
recent TMS treatment for GAD/OCD last week. The results are some
of the most impressive I’ve ever seen.
If you or someone you know might benefit, you can reach the study
team directly: texassaintstudy@gmail.com (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/p9u9exq6rzi9h2om27ncqhpqn6q6ohrhv8r/25h2hoh3wg232oh3/bWFpbHRvOnRleGFzc2FpbnRzdHVkeUBnbWFpbC5jb20=

). Participants who attend all visits will receive a total of
$525. The FDA cleared TMS for adolescent depression in 2024.
Disclaimer: To be an eligible participant for this study, you
must have had fewer than 3 months of antidepressant medication
treatment in the past year and fewer than 10 psychotherapy
sessions in the past year.

), a 3-in-1 formula to support digestion, blood-sugar balance,
and more
-----------------------------------------------------------------
One of the most overlooked levers for everyday health and
performance? Fiber. And ~95% (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/p9u9exq6rzi9h2om27ncqhpqn6q6ohrhv8r/48hvhehm89rmrkux/aHR0cHM6Ly9wbWMubmNiaS5ubG0ubmloLmdvdi9hcnRpY2xlcy9QTUM2MTI0ODQxLw==
) of Americans don’t get enough of it. It’s one of the
meta-nutrients I’ve revisited and pulled on the most in the last
two years. Fiber isn’t just about “staying regular”—it supports
digestion, helps moderate your blood-sugar balance, and feeds the
gut bacteria that support your immune system. Of course, I focus
on whole foods first, but I also take quality supplements as
added insurance for chaotic days, travel, and more.
That’s where Momentous Fiber+ (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/p9u9exq6rzi9h2om27ncqhpqn6q6ohrhv8r/m2h7h5h3z983owhm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGl2ZW1vbWVudG91cy5jb20vcHJvZHVjdHMvZmliZXItcGx1cz91dG1fc291cmNlPW5ld3NsZXR0ZXImdXRtX21lZGl1bT1zcG9uY29uJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj10aW01YmYmdXRtX2NvbnRlbnQ9ZmliZXI=
) comes in. It’s a three-source blend—soluble fiber, insoluble
fiber, and resistant starch. It’s designed to support your gut
from multiple angles with a formula built to “The Momentous
Standard”: real science, meticulous sourcing, and rigorous
certification (NSF Certified for Sport). You can be confident
that what’s on the label is what’s in the product. It mixes
smoothly into water, smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt, and comes
unflavored or in a natural cinnamon flavor for an extra kick with
no artificial sweeteners. If you’re dialing in your nutrition but
lacking fiber, this is a simple fix. Get 35% off your first

Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m
pondering and exploring. I added an extra bullet to scratch a
ridiculous itch.
This issue is brought to you by Incogni (

web, helping to keep you safe online and off. Data protection is
fast becoming a necessity these days and not a luxury. Be sure to

). I’ve been experimenting a lot with headsets that do not go in
the ears. While noise-cancelling AirPods and the like are still
best for loud environments, I’ve had a few ear infections and a
lot of discomfort over the years. These SHOKZ were recommended by
polymath Elan Lee (

them when walking and listening to podcasts, or when using Wispr

into an LLM for fine tuning (e.g., “Edit this into an email of

). I greatly enjoyed this deep dive into the life, craft, and
humor of Philip Roth. My quest to learn more about Philip was
sparked by Joyce Carol Oates (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx03878a6h64gvpkqilhdnq/58hvh7hgx42vv8t6/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDIxLzAyLzEwL2pveWNlLWNhcm9sLW9hdGVzLz91dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249NWJmJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWNvbnZlcnRraXQ=
), one of the most decorated and prodigious American writers of
the last century, who spoke about him during our podcast together
(

documentary: “American Masters explores the life and career of
Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning novelist Philip
Roth (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx03878a6h64gvpkqilhdnq/25h2hoh39qwvvps3/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvUGhpbGlwX1JvdGg=
), often referred to as the greatest living American writer.
Reclusive and diffident, Roth grants very few interviews, but for
the first time, allowed a journalist to spend 10 days
interviewing him on camera.”

Ridiculous request *not* related to deeper work

every time I see it (

positive stuff on X,” would you mind following me here (

shoulder and whispers in my ear.

Quote I’m pondering
-------------------
“Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why
the little decisions you and I make every day are of such
infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture
of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be
able to go on to victories you never dreamed of.”

)) do not meet the recommended fiber intake. Fiber isn’t just
about “staying regular”; it’s one of the most overlooked
meta-nutrients for everyday health and fitness. It supports
digestion, helps keep blood sugar stable, and feeds critical gut
bacteria that affect nearly every aspect of life. I focus on
whole foods first, but I also take quality supplements as cheap
insurance for chaotic days, travel, and more. Momentous Fiber+ (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh6d7vrmfvhqw6dk8dtoh75d/qvh8h7hdw9p4vwcl/aHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlbW9tZW50b3VzLmNvbS9UaW0=
) makes it easy. It supports your gut from multiple angles as a
three-source blend: soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, and resistant
starch. It mixes smoothly into water, smoothies, oatmeal, or
yogurt, and it comes unflavored or in a natural cinnamon. Fiber+
is NSF Certified for Sport®, which means it’s independently
tested. So what’s on the label is what’s in the product. If
you’re dialing in your nutrition but lacking fiber, this is a

Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m
pondering and exploring.
This edition is brought to you by Our Place, makers of the
Titanium Always Pan Pro (

“How A.I. Helped One Man (and His Brother) Build a $1.8 Billion
Company (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hp0png7f5h2d3kd7mcnhzk2/6qheh8hlrexv2rfo/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNi8wNC8wMi90ZWNobm9sb2d5L2FpLWJpbGxpb24tZG9sbGFyLWNvbXBhbnktbWVkdmkuaHRtbA==
).” (The New York Times).
From his house in Los Angeles, Mr. Gallagher, 41, used A.I. to
write the code for the software that powers his company, produce
the website copy, generate the images and videos for ads and
handle customer service. He created A.I. systems to analyze his
business’s performance. And he outsourced the other stuff he
couldn’t do himself.
His start-up, Medvi, a telehealth provider of GLP-1 weight-loss
drugs, got 300 customers in its first month. In its second month,
it gained 1,000 more. In 2025, Medvi’s first full year in
business, the company generated $401 million in sales.
Mr. Gallagher then hired his only employee, his younger brother,
Elliot. This year, they are on track to do $1.8 billion in sales.

) genetically engineered a single tobacco plant to produce five
psychedelic compounds—including psilocybin, DMT, and
5-MeO-DMT—using a technique that temporarily introduces genes
from mushrooms, plants, and even the Colorado River toad. The
approach could offer a simpler, more sustainable alternative to
chemical synthesis for producing psychedelics for therapeutic
research. For pairing and background, you can read my older
article titled “An Urgent Plea to Users of Psychedelics: Let’s
Consider a More Ethical Menu of Plants and Compounds (

). If you’re looking for a very funny and smart movie, this is
what the doctor ordered (pun intended). It scores 98% on Rotten
Tomatoes’ Tomatometer. Here’s the description: “The Big Sick is
based on the real-life courtship between Pakistan-born comedian
Kumail Nanjiani (

), who fall in love but struggle as their cultures clash. When
Emily contracts a mysterious illness, Kumail finds himself forced
to face her feisty parents, his family’s expectations, and his
true feelings.” I found this movie while looking for the best
comedy screenplays online, which took me to this page (

Book excerpt I’m pondering
--------------------------
“‘If Thinking Big accomplishes so much, why doesn’t everyone
think that way?’ I’ve been asked that question many times. Here,
I believe, is the answer. All of us, more than we recognize, are
products of the thinking around us. And much of this thinking is
little, not big.”

Quote I’m pondering
-------------------
“In the words of the ancients, one should make his decisions
within the space of seven breaths. Lord Takanobu said, ‘If
discrimination is long, it will spoil.’ Lord Naoshige said, ‘When
matters are done leisurely, seven out of ten will turn out badly.
A warrior is a person who does things quickly.’ When your mind is
going hither and thither, discrimination will never be brought to
a conclusion. With an intense, fresh and undelaying spirit, one
will make his judgments within the space of seven breaths. It is
a matter of being determined and having the spirit to break right
through to the other side.”

P.S. Deal of the Week — The Titanium Pro Cookware Set from Our

Many nonstick pans can release harmful “forever
chemicals”—PFAS—into your food, home, and, ultimately, your body.
Teflon is an example; it is the forever chemical that most
companies are still using. Exposure to PFAS has been linked to
health issues like gut microbiome disruption, testosterone
dysregulation, and more, which have been correlated to chronic
disease in the long term. This is why I use the Titanium Always
Pan Pro (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hp0png7f5h2d3kd7mcnhzk2/x0hph6he20k87ot5/aHR0cHM6Ly9mcm9tb3VycGxhY2UuY29tL3BhZ2VzL3RpbS1mZXJyaXNzP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1USU0tZW1haWwmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1wb2RjYXN0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YXVkaW8=
) from Our Place. It’s the first nonstick pan with zero coating.
This means zero “forever chemicals” and durability that will last
a lifetime. There is no degradation over time, unlike traditional
nonstick pans.
Our Place expanded the lineup and launched the Titanium Pro
Cookware Set (

)—a toxin-free, high-performance set designed to last a lifetime.
It’s built on the success of the Titanium Always Pan Pro. You can
cook everything with the same health-first, long-lasting design.

more, which have been correlated to chronic disease in the long

Cash Account from its network of program banks. That’s 8 times

average savings rate). Right now, for a limited time, Wealthfront
is offering new clients that use my sign-up link an additional
0.75% boost over the base rate for three months, meaning you can
get up to 4.05% APY, limited to $150,000 in deposits. Terms &

The Cash Account, which is not a deposit account, is offered by
Wealthfront Brokerage LLC (“WFB”), member FINRA/SIPC. Wealthfront
Brokerage is not a bank. The 3.30% Base APY on cash deposits is
as of January 30, 2026, is representative, subject to change, and
requires no minimum balance. The overall boosted rate is subject
to change if the base rate decreases during the three-month
promotional period. Tim Ferriss, who’s not a client, receives
cash compensation from Wealthfront Brokerage LLC for advertising
and holds a non-controlling equity interest in the corporate
parent of Wealthfront Brokerage LLC, which creates an incentive

5-Bullet Friday

The latest from author and investor Tim Ferriss (

)
Hi All!
This week we have a 6-Bullet Saturday, an expanded list of what
I’m enjoying or pondering.
This issue is brought to you by Incogni (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hlvrzlqa8h8op6q4xslhk40/qvh8h7hdwnk65lil/aHR0cHM6Ly9kZWFsLmluY29nbmkuaW8vYWZmX2M_YWZmX2lkPTE5NDkmb2ZmZXJfaWQ9NiZ1cmxfaWQ9MTk2
), which automatically removes your personal information from the
web, helping to keep you safe online and off. Data protection is
fast becoming a necessity these days and not a luxury. Be sure to
check out their offer in the P.S.
---------------------
What I’m listening to
---------------------
“Tres Deseos - Sesiones de Estudio (En Vivo) (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hlvrzlqa8h8op6q4xslhk40/g3hnh5hm9pqz52ur/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1BdHlsYl9ZY0owZw==
)” by Churupaca (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hlvrzlqa8h8op6q4xslhk40/9qhzhnhdw952m7t9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9jaHVydXBhY2FvZmljaWFsLw==
). If you listen to this a few times, it will get stuck in your
head… and that’s a good thing. Find the lyrics in the video
description.
-----------------------
What I’m watching again
-----------------------
“Kurt Vonnegut on how to write a short story (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hlvrzlqa8h8op6q4xslhk40/3ohphkh3mzpd56hr/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1ubVZjSWhudlN4OA==
).” There are some exceptional gems in this 2-minute video. Most
of the rules apply to good nonfiction writing, too, IMHO.
-------------------
Person I’m studying
-------------------
Albert Ellis (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hlvrzlqa8h8op6q4xslhk40/n2hohvhvqr7o98s6/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvQWxiZXJ0X0VsbGlz
). “Albert Ellis was an American psychologist and psychotherapist
who founded rational emotive behavior therapy (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hlvrzlqa8h8op6q4xslhk40/48hvhehmlgx2dpcx/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvUmF0aW9uYWxfZW1vdGl2ZV9iZWhhdmlvcl90aGVyYXB5
) (REBT). … He is generally considered to be one of the
originators of the cognitive revolutionary paradigm shift in
psychotherapy and an early proponent and developer of
cognitive-behavioral therapies.”
-----------------
Film I’m watching
-----------------
Wolfwalkers (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hlvrzlqa8h8op6q4xslhk40/wnh2hghq7g0o24c7/aHR0cHM6Ly90di5hcHBsZS5jb20vdXMvbW92aWUvd29sZndhbGtlcnMvdW1jLmNtYy5hbXVvcTAwaHFlbGZpOThqMGd2ZzY0MXg=
). I watched this with a friend’s family, several young kids
included, and we all loved it. Short description: “A young
apprentice hunter and her father journey to Ireland to help wipe
out the last wolf pack. But everything changes when she befriends
a free-spirited girl from a mysterious tribe rumored to transform
into wolves by night.” It has a 98% audience score (

).
-------------------
Quote I’m pondering
-------------------
“The largest part of what we call ‘personality’ is determined by
how we’ve opted to defend ourselves against anxiety and sadness.”
— Alain de Botton (

Quote I’m pondering

and reality. This is the reason why true creativity often starts
where language ends.”

You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with the
latest podcast episode, which is one of my favorite formats: the
good old-fashioned Q&A (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hlvrzlqa8h8op6q4xslhk40/e0hph7h7v4rn34t8/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzAzLzI2L3FhLXdpdGgtdGltLWFpLXRzdW5hbWkvP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmYmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdA==
). It covers AI, the offline advantage, book recommendations,
courage as a learnable skill, and much, much more.
And, as always, please give me feedback on X. 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 (

pondering and exploring.

black belt under Rick Migliarese and Phil Migliarese (

). So what happens when he rolls with one of the greatest of all
time? I really appreciate that Lex taped and shared this, and
there are a lot of comments that will make you happy you’re not
underneath Khabib:
I felt like I was drowning watching this
The fact that he doesn’t go for the sub, so you don’t tap, so you
don’t reset position, so he can keep mauling you is diabolical
lol

mastery and innovation. He famously tapped out Royler Gracie in
competition. The above video was recorded after he trained with
Marcelo Garcia, 9x world champion in BJJ and submission

).
I like that this is a controversial piece. I hope it helps drive
the science and conversation forward.
On one hand, the “neuroplastogen” approach is often driven by
business and financial incentives. If you can remove the
hallucinations from psychedelics, your ability to fit within
current medical structures (take-home meds, easier insurance
reimbursement, etc.) helps you to scale, scale, scale. And if
someone can make millions or billions of dollars by sticking to
their hypothesis, expect conflicts of interest and a biased path,
even with the best of intentions. To quote Charlie Munger: “Show
me the incentive, and I will show you the outcome.”
On the other hand, I completely agree with David Olson when he
says “If you absolutely need the hallucinogenic effects, then
these new compounds are not going to be the revolution in
psychiatry that people are hoping they will be.” At least, not
likely at the scale of millions of patients per year.
If I were a betting man, I’d say that the set and setting—and,
indeed, the trip content itself—seems to matter for applying
psychedelics to certain conditions like PTSD and alcohol-use
disorder. Otherwise, we’d all have friends with spontaneous
remission of these conditions when using drugs recreationally.
Personally, I have never witnessed this being the case, but I’d
be happy to be proven wrong.
At the same time, I’m funding research into the anti-inflammatory
effects of certain psychedelics, which are profound, even at
miniscule doses. I do think the “content matters” folks too
easily dismiss the incredible physiological changes attributable
to these compounds. So to take the opposite stance, I believe
that conditions like treatment-resistant depression and chronic
anxiety disorder may not always need the trip. It could be that
most such cases never need a trip. The jury is out.
We can all get attached to the binary extremes. As usual, the
truth is more likely somewhere in the middle.
-------------------
Quote I’m pondering
-------------------
“Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the
conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty
that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.”

P.S. Deal of the Week — The Way meditation training program (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/38udp7lem4ikh2m0057brh4pv3808a7hegz/x0hph6he2l4xgms5/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0=
). 10 minutes a day might just change your life...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve explored a lot of meditation practices over the years. My
current hands-down favorite, and the easiest way to get back in
the habit, is The Way, taught by Zen Master Henry Shukman.
Using the app for just 10–20 minutes a day has reduced my anxiety
more than I would have thought possible with any app. Try it for
a week, and I think you’ll notice something similar. Here are 30
sessions for free (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/38udp7lem4ikh2m0057brh4pv3808a7hegz/x0hph6he2l4xgms5/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0=
).
The Way leads you down a single, long-term path that covers all
the key areas of a deep and fulfilling meditation practice. It’s
an easy and calming way to find more ease and calm. There’s no
overwhelming menu of stuff or meditation du jour, just Henry
taking you on a logical progression of lessons, one manageable
bite at a time. You’ll be learning skills you can actually take
into your daily life. Henry’s sessions will become something you
look forward to. He’s appeared on my podcast twice and is always
a listener favorite. I recently chose to invest in The Way, given
all the above, and I’ve been working with Henry and his team to
make the app as good as humanly possible. I’ve probably sent a
hundred notes on the product, and they’ve been improving it each
and every week.
Now, subscribers to 5-Bullet Friday can try 30 sessions for
free, no credit card required. Just go to TheWayApp.com/Tim (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/38udp7lem4ikh2m0057brh4pv3808a7hegz/owhkhqhw970x32sv/aHR0cDovL3RoZXdheWFwcC5jb20vVGlt
). Try it for a week, and I think you’ll be more than pleasantly
surprised.

explore that, I invited five long-time listener favorites: Maria
Popova, Morgan Housel, Cal Newport, Craig Mod, and Debbie
Millman.

Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m
pondering and exploring.
This edition is brought to you by AG1 Next Gen (

Series I’m rewatching

Undone (

). This amazing series bends time and reality enough to simulate
a psychedelic experience. Check out this short trailer (

), and the preceding sentence will make more sense. Here’s a
short description: “Undone (

) is a half-hour, genre-bending, animated series that explores
the elastic nature of reality through its central character Alma,
a twenty-eight-year-old living in San Antonio, Texas. After
getting into a car accident and nearly dying, Alma finds she has
a new relationship to time. She develops this new ability in
order to find out the truth about her father’s death.” Undone was
created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg (

) (also BoJack Horseman) and stars Rosa Salazar (

) (Alita: Battle Angel), among others. I’ve been recommending it
to nearly all of my closest friends.
-----------------------------
What I’m using in the kitchen
-----------------------------
Momofuku Soy Sauce (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/0vu9wolpk2i9h9e2036hzav8372plinhpq8/g3hnh5hm974kpour/aHR0cHM6Ly9zaG9wLm1vbW9mdWt1LmNvbS9wcm9kdWN0cy9zb3ktc2F1Y2U_X3Bvcz0xJl9wc3E9c295JTIwc2F1Y2UmX3NzPWUmX3Y9MS4w
). This was introduced to me by a James Beard Award-winning chef,
who explained how it’s totally different from anything you’d
typically buy at a grocery store in the US. It’s a naturally
brewed soy sauce, meaning it’s produced using the traditional
microbial fermentation process rather than chemical hydrolysis. I
bought this at Whole Foods.
Momofuku is the brainchild of legendary chef David Chang (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/0vu9wolpk2i9h9e2036hzav8372plinhpq8/9qhzhnhdwkol9lu9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9kYXZpZGNoYW5nLw==
), who Esquire called one of the most influential people of the
twenty-first century. His team’s soy sauce is built on 10 years
of flavor research from the Momofuku Goods team, and it’s steeped
with kombu (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/0vu9wolpk2i9h9e2036hzav8372plinhpq8/3ohphkh3m6enzdhr/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvS29tYnU=
) for 48 hours, which gives it a richer, rounder savory profile
than anything you’ll find at the grocery store. It’s
restaurant-grade and an easy way to elevate simple things like
steamed vegetables or give an Asian twist to main dishes.

What I’m reading

“‘We have brothers, sons, lovers – but they can’t live here!’ The
happy home shared by 26 women (

). “That this is an idea whose time has come, particularly for
older people, is indisputable. In 2021, 3.64 million people aged
over 65 were living alone in the UK, 70% of whom were women. In
10 years’ time, over-65s will have risen from 19% to an estimated
22% of the population, according to the latest report by the
Centre for Ageing Better.”

Quote I’m pondering
-------------------
“If you expect to succeed as a writer, rudeness should be the
second-to-least of your concerns. The least of all should be
polite society and what it expects. If you intend to write as
truthfully as you can, your days as a member of polite society
are numbered, anyway.”

P.S. Deal of the Week — AG1 (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/0vu9wolpk2i9h9e2036hzav8372plinhpq8/7qh7h8h9lvrmw2hz/aHR0cHM6Ly9kcmlua2FnMS5jb20vdGlt
) all-in-one daily supplement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I get asked all the time, “If you could use only one supplement,
what would it be?” My answer is usually AG1, my all-in-one
nutritional insurance. I recommended it in The 4-Hour Body in
2010 and didn’t get paid to do so. I focus on nutrient-dense
meals, of course, but AG1 further covers the nutritional gaps in
my diet for less than $3.00 per day. I have always admired AG1’s
commitment to improving one product over many years, which is why
I am excited about their latest upgrade: AG1 Next Gen (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/0vu9wolpk2i9h9e2036hzav8372plinhpq8/7qh7h8h9lvrmw2hz/aHR0cHM6Ly9kcmlua2FnMS5jb20vdGlt
). It’s the same—but improved—single-scoop, once-a-day product to
support your mental clarity, immune health, and energy. AG1 is
NSF Certified for Sport, one of the most rigorous independent
quality and safety certification programs. After consuming this
product for 12 years, I chose to invest in AG1 in 2021, as I
trust their no-compromise approach to ingredient sourcing and
appreciate their focus on continuously improving one formula.

about “staying regular”; it’s one of the most overlooked
meta-nutrients for everyday health and fitness. It supports
digestion, helps keep blood sugar stable, and feeds critical gut
bacteria that affect nearly every aspect of life. I focus on
whole foods first, but I also take quality supplements as cheap
insurance for chaotic days, travel, and more. Momentous Fiber+ (

three-source blend: soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, and resistant
starch. It mixes smoothly into water, smoothies, oatmeal, or
yogurt, and it comes unflavored or in a natural cinnamon. Fiber+

singer-songwriter Angèle and Grammy-winning, French electronic

undisputedly the best concert experience of my life. For the
track that started it all for me, check out “Genesis” (Original (

What I’m enjoying
-----------------
Lost Pines Light Roast Yaupon Tea — loose leaf, 2 oz. (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh69n2xpc5aqwgk68xsoh75d/reh8hohm4ggmr6i2/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9Mb3N0LVBpbmVzLVlhdXBvbi1UZWEtY2FmZmVpbmF0ZWQvZHAvQjA3NTM5NTdCSC8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA=
) Yaupon holly is one of only two caffeinated plants native to
North America. Though technically not a true tea (it’s not
camellia sinensis), it was widely consumed by Indigenous peoples
long before European contact. It has been enjoying a revival,
especially in Texas. Yaupon’s caffeine content is similar to
green tea, and it also contains theobromine, which some of you
may recognize from cacao / dark chocolate. Just as with yerba
mate, this combination gives me a smoother, less anxious energy
curve than coffee. It’s very neutral and not bitter at all.
Despite its unfortunate Latin name, Ilex vomitoria, I’m enjoying
experimenting with it.

“Tech legend Stewart Brand on Musk, Bezos and his extraordinary
life: ‘We don’t need to passively accept our fate’ (

) (The Guardian). In my podcast conversation with Stewart (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh69n2xpc5aqwgk68xsoh75d/7qh7h8h9qrr92ptz/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDE3LzExLzIxL3N0ZXdhcnQtYnJhbmQvP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmYmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdA==
), there is a good reason I called him “the polymath of
polymaths.” And Kevin Kelly (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh69n2xpc5aqwgk68xsoh75d/owhkhqhwp22wm7bv/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1lWjNZX3JqS3ZJRQ==
), who I once called “the real-life most interesting man in the
world,” insists that label belongs to Stewart.
Here are some excerpts from the above profile to help paint a
picture:
[Stewart] has had a lifelong fascination with the future, and
anything that could get us there faster, from space travel to
psychedelic drugs to computing. In fact, he was arguably the
bridge between the San Francisco counterculture of the 60s and
present-day Silicon Valley: in his commencement speech at
Stanford University in 2005, Steve Jobs eulogised the Whole Earth
Catalog and Brand’s philosophy, and echoed its farewell mantra:
“Stay hungry. Stay foolish.”
You could say that Brand has also lived big and long. He is now
87 years old, in the final chapters of an eventful and
adventurous life that has crossed paths with some of the most
consequential events and figures of his era. He has been a
writer, an editor, a publisher, a soldier, a photojournalist, an
LSD evangelist, an events organiser, a future-planning
consultant, even a government adviser…
Oh, and when I interviewed him (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh69n2xpc5aqwgk68xsoh75d/z2hghnhenqqe2dsp/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDE3LzExLzIxL3N0ZXdhcnQtYnJhbmQvP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmYmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdA==

Quote I’m pondering
-------------------
“The luminous and shocking beauty of the everyday is something I
try to remain alert to, if only as an antidote to the chronic
cynicism and disenchantment that seems to surround everything,
these days. It tells me that, despite how debased or corrupt we
are told humanity is and how degraded the world has become, it
just keeps on being beautiful.”
— Nick Cave

“We cannot reason ourselves out of our basic irrationality. All
we can do is to learn the art of being irrational in a reasonable
way.”
— Aldous Huxley, Island
It was cold out, but none of us were cold.
I sat with five men in the mountains of Montana. As the sun set,
the fire in the center cast dancing light on our faces. Reclined
against fallen trees in a tight circle, we ate mushrooms and fish
we’d found under trees and along streams. The whole crew burst
into laughter yet again, and one of the guides passed around a
fresh batch of pine needle tea.
Bathed in warmth, I took off a layer and glanced skyward through
an opening in the trees. The stars shone like crystals on black
velvet, and the show—the biggest meteor shower of the year—was
starting.
In that moment, there was nothing to do. Nothing to improve.
Nothing to fix.
It was perfect.
***
The older I get, the more I think that self-help can be a trap.
Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. I say this after
~20 years of writing self-help and a lifetime of consuming it.
Spend enough time in the world of “improvement,” and you’ll
notice something strange: The people most obsessed with self-help
are often the least helped by it. Behind the smiles and
motivational quotes, behind closed doors and after a drink or
two, the truth is that they’re not able to outsmart their
worries.
On one hand, perhaps this unhappiness is precisely what lands one
in self-development in the first place, right? I long assumed
this about myself, and it’s partially true.
On the other hand, what if self-help itself is actually creating
or amplifying unhappiness?
Modern self-help contains an in-built flaw:
To continually improve yourself, you must continually locate the
ways you are broken.

Scientific study I’m reading
----------------------------
Some of you might recall my mention of the potential liver
toxicity risks of 1,3-butanediol-based ketone supplements 6–12
months ago. 1,3-butanediol—sometimes abbreviated as 1,3-BD, BDO,
or 1,3-BDO—is found in the majority of the most popular ketone
supplements.
Even the monoester I’ve enjoyed refers to BHB bound to 1,3-BD.
While I still occasionally consume it, I have strongly dialed
back the dosages and frequency. I treat it more like a shot of
moonshine and less like a nutritional supplement.
A new study was just published February 19th that further
supports exercising caution: “Disparate Hepatic [Liver]
Mitochondrial and Inflammatory Effects of Ketone Supplements (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpv78l5cla6m8emnqa5h704/e0hph7h76mxvrvh8/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubWRwaS5jb20vMjA3Mi02NjQzLzE4LzQvNjc1

As always, assume there is never a biological free lunch (read

periodically. All that said, speak to your doctor before changing
any medications. Be safe out there!

problem. Sid assembled a team, built a system of maximal
diagnostics using cutting-edge, single-cell sequencing, and
pursued 10+ experimental therapies in parallel, which included a
radioligand treatment in Germany that most patients would never
find. His cancer is now undetectable.

Passage I’m pondering

“I have always admired a man like the late Fred Fuller Shedd, who
had a gift for stating an old truth in a new and picturesque way.
While editor of the Philadelphia Bulletin and addressing a
college graduating class, he asked: ‘How many of you have ever
sawed wood? Let’s see your hands.’ Most of them had. Then he
inquired: ‘How many of you have ever sawed sawdust?’ No hands
went up. ‘Of course, you can’t saw sawdust!’ Mr. Shedd exclaimed.
‘It’s already sawed! And it’s the same with the past. When you
start worrying about things that are over and done with, you’re
merely trying to saw sawdust.’”

)) do not meet the recommended fiber intake. Fiber isn’t just
about “staying regular”; fiber is one of the most overlooked
meta-nutrients for everyday health and fitness. In the last two
years, fiber is one of the levers that I’ve revisited and pulled
on the most.
It supports digestion, helps keep blood sugar stable, and feeds
critical gut bacteria that affect nearly every aspect of life. Of
course, I focus on whole foods first, but I also take quality
supplements as cheap insurance for chaotic days, travel, and
more.
Momentous Fiber+ (

) makes it easy. It’s designed to support your gut from multiple
angles as a three-source blend: soluble fiber, insoluble fiber,
and resistant starch. It mixes smoothly into water, smoothies,
oatmeal, or yogurt, and it comes unflavored or in a natural
cinnamon. No fillers, no sludge. Like every Momentous product,
Fiber+ is NSF Certified for Sport®, which means it’s
independently tested. What’s on the label is what’s in the
product. If you’re dialing in your nutrition but lacking fiber,
this is a simple fix. Get 35% off your first subscription with

my most brilliant friends have recommended it, and I’ve tried
valiantly, but I somehow fall short. The book chronicles the life
of Robert Moses, a city planner who became the most powerful man
in New York, shaping the city’s politics and infrastructure.
This podcast allowed me to salvage my self-respect and dive back
into what I knew to be an incredible story worth exploring. It
also reignited my desire to finish the book.
When I first listened, they were capped out at three episodes,
but now they have 12, including more audio with Caro himself!
That means I’m super excited to listen again from the start.

Type of arbitration I’m learning about
--------------------------------------
“Baseball arbitration (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hl6v8n3hea8onwzo4clhk40/g3hnh5hmr36m82sr/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubWRycy5jb20vYmFzZWJhbGwtYXJiaXRyYXRpb24taXNudC1qdXN0LWZvci1iYXNlYmFsbC8=
).” Pretty cool idea.
A summary I found helpful:
“Baseball arbitration” is named for its origin in Major League
Baseball (MLB), where it was introduced in 1974 to resolve salary
disputes for eligible players. It is called this because it
specifically applies to the “final offer” format, where a panel
must choose between the team’s salary offer and the player’s
request.
Key details about baseball arbitration:
• Origin: Introduced in 1974 in the MLB to prevent holdouts.
• Final Offer Mechanism: Unlike traditional arbitration, the
panel cannot “split the baby (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hl6v8n3hea8onwzo4clhk40/9qhzhnhd0pzdv7a9/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvSnVkZ2VtZW50X29mX1NvbG9tb24=
)” or create a compromise number; they must choose one of the two
submitted figures.
• Process: Both sides submit a proposed salary, and a
three-person panel selects the more reasonable offer.
• Goal: The structure incentivizes both parties to submit
reasonable numbers to avoid appearing unreasonable, often leading
to a settlement before the hearing.
Due to this distinct “winner-takes-all” approach, it is often
referred to in legal and ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution)
circles as “final offer arbitration” or “baseball arbitration.”
Also, from this page (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hl6v8n3hea8onwzo4clhk40/3ohphkh30743e6sr/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubWRycy5jb20vYmFzZWJhbGwtYXJiaXRyYXRpb24taXNudC1qdXN0LWZvci1iYXNlYmFsbC8jOn46dGV4dD1UbyUyMHNvbHZlJTIwdGhlJTIwcHJvYmxlbSUyMG9mLGl0JTIwZGVlbXMlMjBhJTIwcmVhc29uYWJsZSUyMGZpZ3VyZS4=
):
To my mind, the most significant advantage of baseball
arbitration derives from its unique feature. Since the arbitrator
is directed to choose the more reasonable of two figures, it
forces each side to be reasonable, at least by their own
reckoning. Unlike conventional arbitration, where arbitrators may
be tempted to “split the baby,” thus driving the parties to
extreme positions, baseball arbitration does just the opposite.
...
On the basis of my (limited) experience, I have long believed
that baseball arbitration has much to recommend it as a
cost-efficient way to effect final resolution.

Passage I’m pondering
---------------------
“‘It’s dark because you’re trying too hard,’ said Susila. ‘Dark
because you want it to be light. Remember what you used to tell
me when I was a little girl. “Lightly, child, lightly. You’ve got
to learn to do everything lightly. Think lightly, act lightly,
feel lightly. Yes, feel lightly, even though you’re feeling
deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with
them.” I was so preposterously serious in those days. … Lightly,
lightly—it was the best advice ever given me. … So throw away all
your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you,
sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and
self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly.
Lightly, my darling.”

over nothing but an innocuous blog post. You don’t need to be
well-known for this to happen—you just need your personal
information exposed in the wrong databases.
The scary part is that most people don’t realize how much of
their data is out there for the taking. That’s why reducing the
surface area of risk is one of my top priorities.

) high-quality creatine! I’ve long benefitted from creatine for
athletic and gym performance, and now I’m increasing my daily
intake to enjoy the cognitive benefits. A pilot study in
Alzheimer’s patients demonstrated that supplementing can increase
brain creatine levels in just 8 weeks, improving measures of
memory, reasoning, and attention. And a double-blind,
placebo-controlled study found that creatine can restore aspects
of memory and attention within hours in adults who are sleep
deprived. I use Momentous Creatine (

Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m
pondering and exploring. I threw in an extra bullet for added
spice.
This edition is brought to you by Our Place, makers of the
Titanium Always Pan Pro (

also referred to as “forever chemicals,” and I prefer to dodge
the toxins. Read more in the P.S.

Wine I’m enjoying

Domaine Tempier’s Bandol Rosé (

). Despite all the anti-alcohol zeitgeist, I still enjoy sipping
a glass of wine while cooking on the weekend. This rosé is
bone-dry, savory, and nothing like sweet, grocery-store pink
wine. Domaine Tempier is a family estate in Bandol on France’s
Provence coast. In the early twentieth century, Lucien Peyraud
and his wife Lulu built the domaine’s reputation by betting on
Mourvèdre (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/r8u984650rioh34w02df3adnn8n66s7hzrx/6qheh8hlzwvdrvfo/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvTW91cnYlQzMlQThkcmU=
), a harder to grow grape. Fun fact for the foodies: Lulu became
a mentor (

who can’t afford it, or who can’t buy it in their countries.
Here’s how to print out the deck:

2. You will need a total of 67 standard-sized playing cards (2.5"
x 3.5"). Here is one option for getting it done (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/r8u984650rioh34w02df3adnn8n66s7hzrx/z2hghnhen7986mcp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9BcG9zdHJvcGhlLUdhbWVzLUJsYW5rLVBsYXlpbmctRmluaXNoL2RwL0IwMUg0Q1pRMTQvP3RhZz1vZmZzaXRvZnRpbWZlLTIw
), unless you already have enough cards at home that you are no
longer playing with. You can also print on regular or stock paper
and cut out the cards.
3. Purchase this Avery label template (

6. Once printed, put each label on each playing card.
7. Print the instructions PDF (

P.S. Deal of the Week — The Titanium Pro Cookware Set from Our
Place (

Many nonstick pans can release harmful “forever
chemicals”—PFAS—into your food, home, and, ultimately, your body.
Teflon is an example; it is the forever chemical that most
companies are still using. Exposure to PFAS has been linked to
health issues like gut microbiome disruption, testosterone
dysregulation, and more, which have been correlated to chronic
disease in the long term. This is why I use the Titanium Always
Pan Pro (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/r8u984650rioh34w02df3adnn8n66s7hzrx/m2h7h5h3v9k7vzum/aHR0cHM6Ly9mcm9tb3VycGxhY2UuY29tL3BhZ2VzL3RpbS1mZXJyaXNzP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1USU0tZW1haWwmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1wb2RjYXN0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YXVkaW8=
) from Our Place. It’s the first nonstick pan with zero coating.
This means zero “forever chemicals” and durability that will last
a lifetime. There is no degradation over time, unlike traditional
nonstick pans.
Our Place expanded the lineup and launched the Titanium Pro
Cookware Set (

)—a toxin-free, high-performance set designed to last a lifetime.
It’s built on the success of the Titanium Always Pan Pro. You can

5-Bullet Friday

The latest from author and investor Tim Ferriss (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/owhkhqhwx09e7khv/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8=
)
Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m
pondering and exploring.
---------------------
What I’m listening to
---------------------
“House of the Rising Sun (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/z2hghnhe5m6z8kfp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj0zaWdZUmo4MkVpVQ==
)” (YouTube (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/z2hghnhe5m6z8kfp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj0zaWdZUmo4MkVpVQ==
), Spotify (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/p8heh9h4rp6eldsq/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL3RyYWNrLzNhOG1vMjV2NzRCTVVPSjFJRFVFQkw_c2k9MjhiYzMyOGMxYjgzNGNkYQ==
)) by Lizzy McAlpine (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/x0hph6hek42mldc5/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9saXp6eW1jYWxwaW5lLw==
). This is a beautiful cover of the original, most famously
recorded by The Animals, and like many folk songs, it is of
uncertain authorship.
------------------------
Documentary I’m watching
------------------------
Chaos: The Manson Murders (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/6qheh8hlx3r4ddco/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmV0ZmxpeC5jb20vdGl0bGUvODE0ODI4OTI=
). This is based on a book, CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and
the Secret History of the Sixties (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/kkhmh6hnzowp39ul/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9DaGFvcy1DaGFybGVzLU1hbnNvbi1IaXN0b3J5LVNpeHRpZXMvZHAvMDMxNjQ3NzU0MC8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA=
), by Tom O’Neill and Dan Piepenbring, which has been recommended
to me by several close friends. The “chaos” in both titles refers
to Operation CHAOS (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/25h2hoh3lq9xe2i3/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvT3BlcmF0aW9uX0NIQU9T
), a domestic spying program by the CIA.
I was going to skip this documentary, as I’ve seen prior docs on
Manson and find the murders themselves horribly tragic but also
uninteresting. I rarely watch true crime, as I come across enough
darkness without consuming it as entertainment.
But then I learned it was made by the iconic Errol Morris (more
below). Next, I realized that it focused on everything before the
murders. Not only that, the archival footage and audio are
incredible.
I’d known of the almost-certain overlap between Manson and the
CIA’s MKUltra project (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/qvh8h7hdelw30dil/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvTUtVbHRyYQ==
), which focused on mind control, but I didn’t realize just how
deep that rabbit hole goes.
From the description: “In August 1969, Charles Manson’s followers
killed seven people on his orders. Why? Explore a conspiracy of
mind control, CIA experiments, and murder.” It is directed by
Errol Morris (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/g3hnh5hmg092k6ir/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvRXJyb2xfTW9ycmlz
) of The Fog of War (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/9qhzhnhd4ew8l9t9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9ncC92aWRlby9kZXRhaWwvQjAwNlRMWksyQy9yZWY9bXN4X3duX2F2
) fame and father of pharmacologist extraordinaire Hamilton
Morris (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/3ohphkh3xkm8nvsr/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDE4LzA5LzIwL2hhbWlsdG9uLW1vcnJpcy8_dXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTViZiZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0
). You can watch the trailer here (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/n2hohvhv2lq4k2u6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1Zd29BN052YWFjSQ==
).
Caveat: the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are not good. I was a bit
surprised by this, but I think it’s because I have read a lot on
MKUltra, given the crucial element of psychedelics, and most
people have no context. If you’re seeing it for the first time,
it will sound like the ravings of an insane conspiracy theorist.
Unfortunately for some of the innocents who were involved, it was
very much real. Truth can indeed be stranger than fiction.

Quote I’m pondering

You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my
brand-new interview (

Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m
pondering and exploring. I threw in an extra bullet for added
spice.
---------------------
What I’m listening to
---------------------
“Granada (

)) by Lebanese composer, oud (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/58hvh7hg3x3xgpc6/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvT3Vk
) master, and singer Marcel Khalife (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/25h2hoh3l9l93vu3/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9raGFsaWZlbWFyY2VsLw==
). This is two songs in one. The first half is totally unlike the
second half. It’s a long ’un and worth the time.
--------------------------------
My #1 writing priority this week
--------------------------------
“How I Beat Lyme Disease with The Ketogenic Diet (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/qvh8h7hdewewd4bl/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzAxLzMwL2x5bWUtZGlzZWFzZS1rZXRvZ2VuaWMtZGlldC8_dXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTViZiZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0
).” I started writing this as a reply on X to Greg Yang (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/g3hnh5hmg9g9mnhr/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9UaGVHcmVnWWFuZy9zdGF0dXMvMjAxMzY1MjYwOTQ1NTAwNjAwNg==
), co-founder of xAI (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/9qhzhnhd4w4wd3u9/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmFpLw==
), who recently stepped down from xAI to address his debilitating
case of Lyme disease (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/g3hnh5hmg9g9mnhr/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9UaGVHcmVnWWFuZy9zdGF0dXMvMjAxMzY1MjYwOTQ1NTAwNjAwNg==
). Ultimately, I decided that a blog post (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/qvh8h7hdewewd4bl/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzAxLzMwL2x5bWUtZGlzZWFzZS1rZXRvZ2VuaWMtZGlldC8_dXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTViZiZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0
) could provide more detail and allow proofreading by credible
scientists, so here we are. The post covers the science, exact
how-to protocols, and much more.
-------------------------
What I’m excited to share
-------------------------
My appearance on The Shawn Ryan Show (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/3ohphkh3xmxm3ncr/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj0zVlQtRkt2Zm5xbw==
). Shawn is a former U.S. Navy SEAL and CIA contractor who served
for 14 years across multiple combat missions. He led us to some
edgy and strange topics that I don’t usually discuss publicly. I
had a lot of fun.
His show is one of the fastest-growing and most popular podcasts
in the world, and I was very impressed with the entire operation
he’s built. Kudos to Shawn and his entire team.
-------------------------------
Science I’m paying attention to
-------------------------------
“Alzheimer’s blood tests may be misleading for people with kidney
problems (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/n2hohvhv2q2qvoc6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2NpZW5jZWRhaWx5LmNvbS9yZWxlYXNlcy8yMDI1LzEyLzI1MTIwNTA0NTg0NS5odG0=
).” Summary: “A large study found that people with impaired
kidneys tend to have higher Alzheimer’s biomarkers, yet they
don’t face a higher overall risk of dementia. For those who
already have elevated biomarkers, kidney problems may speed up
when symptoms appear. The findings show that kidney health can
change how Alzheimer’s blood tests are read. Doctors may need to
consider both organs to get a clearer picture.” Pair this article
with my brand-new conversation with Dr. Tommy Wood (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/48hvhehmwlwlm0tx/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj10VExMZlVvT0ZMVQ==
) on preventing dementia.
-----------------------------
Podcast guest I’m remembering
-----------------------------
“In Memoriam: Art De Vany (

Quote I’m pondering
-------------------
“Our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we
call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all
about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie
potential forms of consciousness entirely different. We may go
through life without suspecting their existence; but apply the
requisite stimulus and at a touch they are there in all their
completeness. … No account of the universe in its totality can be
final which leaves these other forms of consciousness quite
disregarded.”
— William James (

You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my recent
conversation (

) with Dr. Dominic D’Agostino on how to use ketosis for enhanced
mood, cognition, and long-term brain protection, plus my latest
keto experiment.
And, as always, please give me feedback on X. 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,

Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m
pondering and exploring.
This edition is brought to you by The Way (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/08hwh9h2n240oeul/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0=

offer in the P.S.
----------------------------
What I’m reading and sharing
----------------------------
“What is the question? (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/8ghqhohowo8e0nuk/aHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLnNwcmluZ2VyLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlLzEwLjExODYvczEzMDU5LTAxOS0xOTAyLTE=

https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/vqh3hrhomo62x7ig/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9JdGFpWWFuYWk=
) and Martin Lercher (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/l2hehmhlqlp50mh6/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9NYXJ0aW5KTGVyY2hlcg==
). This is an outstanding read. Even if you have little interest
in how the best scientists work, this will help you become a
better and more productive thinker.
Take it from W. Edwards Deming (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/m2h7h5h323xkgdam/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvVy5fRWR3YXJkc19EZW1pbmc=
), who is best known as the “father of the quality movement” for
revolutionizing post-WWII Japan and making it one of the most
dominant economies in the world: “If you do not know how to ask
the right question, you discover nothing.”

What I’m rewatching

Burden of Dreams (

)). This documentary was recommended to me by one of the most
phenomenal artists I know, Dustin Yellin (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/7qh7h8h9d9evkeaz/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDIwLzA5LzI0L2R1c3Rpbi15ZWxsaW4vP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmYmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdA==
). Burden of Dreams is a strange and captivating film. It’s a
showcase of tackling the impossible, being unrealistic, and
failing above others’ successes. On so many levels, the
compulsion, single-mindedness, and all-or-nothing drive of
legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/owhkhqhwxwe3kzhv/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud2VybmVyaGVyem9nLmNvbS8=
) makes no sense. And yet… to me, parts of his journey, and parts
of his worldview, make all the sense in the world. This is a
bizarre one that will only appeal to a small fraction of you, but
here’s the official film description, edited for length: “For
nearly five years, Werner Herzog worked on one of the most
ambitious and difficult films of his career, Fitzcarraldo (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/z2hghnhe5ez9k9hp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucm90dGVudG9tYXRvZXMuY29tL20vZml0emNhcnJhbGRv
), the story of one man’s attempt to build an opera house deep in
the Amazon jungle. Documentary filmmaker Les Blank (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/p8heh9h4r4ek23aq/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvTGVzX0JsYW5r
) captured the unfolding of this production, including a sequence
requiring [the pulling of] a full-size, 320-ton steamship over a
small mountain.”

Article I’m reading

“The Plastic Inside Us (

) for UCSF Magazine. From the article: “Every day, in a thousand
ways, we take advantage of the utility of plastic. It’s in our
clothes, our cars, our cosmetics, and so much more. But
eventually, these products turn into something else: tiny
synthetic particles that spread quite literally everywhere—into
our air, our food, our water, even inside of us. We are only
beginning to tease out what the presence of these microplastics
means for our health—and what we can do about it.” I hope to have
more thoughts later this year about how to deal with PFAS
“forever chemicals.”

P.S. Deal of the Week — The Way meditation training program (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/58hvh7hg3gwpnlf6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS9UaW0=
). 10 minutes a day might just change your life…
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve explored a lot of meditation practices over the years. My
current hands-down favorite, and the easiest way to get back in
the habit, is The Way (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/58hvh7hg3gwpnlf6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS9UaW0=
), taught by Zen Master Henry Shukman. Using the app for just
10–20 minutes a day has reduced my anxiety more than I would have
thought possible with any app. Try it for a week, and I think
you’ll notice something similar. Here are 30 sessions for free (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/58hvh7hg3gwpnlf6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS9UaW0=

The Way (

) leads you down a single, long-term path that covers all the
key areas of a deep and fulfilling meditation practice. It’s an
easy and calming way to find more ease and calm. There’s no
overwhelming menu of stuff or meditation du jour, just Henry
taking you on a logical progression of lessons, one manageable
bite at a time. You’ll be learning skills you can actually take
into your daily life. Henry’s sessions will become something you
look forward to. He’s appeared on my podcast twice and is always
a listener favorite. I recently chose to invest in The Way, given
all the above, and I’ve been working with Henry and his team to
make the app as good as humanly possible. I’ve probably sent a
hundred notes on the product, and they’ve been improving it each
and every week.
Now, subscribers to 5-Bullet Friday can try 30 sessions for free

surprised.

), and I wrote, “Michel Thomas is one of the few language
teachers I recommend, and he walks the talk.” If you want the
basics of Spanish or French in less than a week, his programs
really deliver. Get his personal recording, if you can, but some
of his courses taught by others using his method (e.g., Korean (

)) are also excellent.
From Wikipedia:
Michel Thomas (born Moniek Kroskof, February 3, 1914–January 8,
2005) was a polyglot linguist and decorated war veteran. He
survived imprisonment in several Nazi concentration camps after
serving in the Maquis of the French Resistance and worked with
the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps during World War II.
After the war, Thomas immigrated to the United States, where he
developed a language-teaching system known as the “Michel Thomas
method.” In 2004, he was awarded the Silver Star by the United
States Army.

Related content I've been bingeing

YouTube: “The Language Master, a film about Michel Thomas (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5xox5ofmapedgnkkh9h6rd/l2hehmhlq4w7r4s6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_ZmVhdHVyZT15b3V0dS5iZSZ2PW1yX05VV2hZQVNn
).” This is a great place to start to get a taste of what his
method looks like in a live classroom. It also demonstrates how
stubborn and difficult he could be! For propagating his own
method, he was sometimes his own worst enemy.
Book: The Test Of Courage: Michel Thomas (

), a biography of the Holocaust survivor and Nazi hunter by
Christopher Robbins. I found this book to be gratifying, and
Robbins did a beautiful job with research and fact-checking
around details of WWII and the Holocaust I had never seen before.
How do we not learn this stuff in school? The citations and
footnotes reflect a tremendous amount of work by the author, and
he makes a lot of Michel’s life a compelling page-turner that
reads like a thriller.
Alas, it also seems clear that Michel himself was prone to
exaggeration and possibly occasional fabrication. Some of his
theatrical twists and anecdotes simply don’t add up, which is a
shame, as his 100% verifiable experiences alone are ridiculously
sufficient for an incredible story! Sadly, some people can’t help
themselves. It didn’t prevent me from highlighting a lot of the
research notes on Kindle, and his language method’s results
literally speak for themselves. Check out the above documentary
first.

P.S. Deal of the week — Incogni: erase your personal data from
the web and prevent scams, fraud, and identity theft (

I’ve had stalkers show up at my house, people scrape my private
email out of nowhere, and crazy people send death threats over
nothing but an innocuous blog post. You don’t need to be
well-known for this to happen—you just need your personal
information exposed in the wrong databases.
The scary part is that most people don’t realize how much of
their data is out there for the taking. That’s why reducing the
surface area of risk is one of my top priorities.

(1,000+ additional sites covered in their Unlimited plan), and
they keep it scrubbed automatically. Deloitte has independently
verified the headline numbers (245M+ removal requests), and the
company adheres to AICPA SOC security standards. And with their
Unlimited plan, if you find your info on a site they don’t
automatically monitor, just send them the link, and their privacy
team will handle it. If you want to reclaim some of your privacy,

Hi All!
Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m
pondering and exploring. I threw in an extra bullet to spice
things up, as I have a bee in my bonnet.
This edition is brought to you by Momentous (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/owhkhqhw5qz70nbv/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGl2ZW1vbWVudG91cy5jb20vZGlzY291bnQvdGltP3JlZGlyZWN0PSUyRnBhZ2VzJTJGdGltLWZlcnJpc3MmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPXRpbTViZiZ1dG1fY29udGVudD1uZXcteWVhciZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPXNwb25jb24mdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1uZXdzbGV0dGVy
), my go-to source for creatine, which I use mostly for cognitive
support. Be sure to see their offer in the P.S.

) (Vanity Fair). Do you think it’s too crowded to do X, whatever
you might be considering? Well, think again, as there is always
room if you aim to be the only and not simply the best. Owning a
category of one, and being first mover, gives you a tremendous
margin of safety. This is a fun read full of lessons. I suggest
pairing it with this WSJ profile of the Acquired gents (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/x0hph6hexqgl47s5/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud3NqLmNvbS9idXNpbmVzcy9tZWRpYS9hY3F1aXJlZC1wb2RjYXN0LXRlY2gtYnVzaW5lc3MtaGlzdG9yeS1zdHJhdGVneS05MGU3MzYwMz9nYWFfYXQ9ZWFmcyZnYWFfbj1BV0V0c3FmeU15VnV4MGowUnBOc2VwQ0hTTk1rVllyYVRQb1J2WXBIWS1vU2lBck93TEY3ZUR4RUZNMjV3MHdUWmhnJTNEJmdhYV9zaWc9MlByR2toUWo2eXQtX0NwRUpiVktGemJxVkFQQk5YMElSTl9BNk9ISFJUZjl3b3BxRjZWVkNyWUdERWJVclFTc2x2WUdiZ2ZpTHROXy1OdEo0anNNOWclM0QlM0QmZ2FhX3RzPTY5NjE4NDkz
) and how they carved out a spectacular niche (a big one!) in the
saturated podcast ecosystem.
-------------------------
Research that I’m reading
-------------------------
“Lactate and BDNF: Key Mediators of Exercise Induced
Neuroplasticity? (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/dpheh0herp3m2qam/aHR0cHM6Ly9wbWMubmNiaS5ubG0ubmloLmdvdi9hcnRpY2xlcy9QTUM3MjMwNjM5Lw==
)” This will inform how I change my exercise moving forward,
specifically related to increasing high-intensity interval
training (HIIT). There are some wild insights and workout
specifics coming soon to the podcast. Bookmark the last week of
January, and you can subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts (

), or wherever else you get your fine audio morsels.

What I’m using
--------------
KETOSPIKE Cocoa (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/owhkhqhw5qz70gsv/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXVkYWNpb3VzbnV0cml0aW9uLmNvbS9wcm9kdWN0cy9rZXRvc3Bpa2UtY29jb2Etd2l0aC1iaGIta2V0b25lcw==
). I’ve been getting a lot of questions about exogenous ketones.
KETOSPIKE, formulated by Dominic D’Agostino, Ph.D., and Csilla
Ari D’Agostino, Ph.D., has become my default, which I use a
handful of times per week while on a ketogenic or extremely
low-carb diet. This is particularly valuable prior to podcast
recordings, as was the case a few hours ago. I’ll mix this into
coffee with a few tablespoons of cream, and I get a mild but
noticeable cognitive boost for 2–3 hours.
------------------
What I’m exploring
------------------
What are successful YouTube channels that were strongly inspired
by The 4-Hour Workweek? (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/z2hghnhe0lg8mwip/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS90ZmVycmlzcy9zdGF0dXMvMjAwOTQyMTM5ODA0NjA2OTE4OQ==
) I’m thinking of interviewing some of these creators on the
podcast, plus perhaps more… Please let me know by replying to my
post here (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/z2hghnhe0lg8mwip/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS90ZmVycmlzcy9zdGF0dXMvMjAwOTQyMTM5ODA0NjA2OTE4OQ==
).
-----------------------
Tech stuff I’m tracking
-----------------------
“This is a weird comparison, but Zcash reminds me a lot of
BitTorrent… (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/p8heh9h48qvlp8iq/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9ob3NzZWViL3N0YXR1cy8yMDA5MzM1MjM5MzUzNDc1MTU3
)” by Haseeb Qureshi (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/x0hph6hexqgl4kt5/aHR0cHM6Ly9oYXNlZWJxLmNvbS9hYm91dC8=
). I think the nature of privacy, and how much we value it, will
change fundamentally in the next 2–3 years, as the realities of
being fully exposed become more obvious. For several years, I’ve
been tracking privacy-reclaiming technologies, and this is one
that I’m paying attention to.
How would you like your online purchases, precise physical
location, voting and dating preferences, health or
health-adjacent information (e.g., wearables), and more to be
correlated and made public? What if insurers and potential
employers could purchase this information, even if done
indirectly to skirt regulation? What if script kiddies worldwide
could scrape most of it from publicly available data and piece it
together with AI in an afternoon? What if they could also ingest
all of your social media posts at the same time? This is a lot
closer than people realize. In fact, most of it’s already here.
There are an estimated 4,000+ data brokers in the US alone. They
already offer precise geolocation, political preferences,
demographic details, real-time tracking, and even military status
or employment (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/6qheh8hl09qd3zco/aHR0cHM6Ly90ZWNocG9saWN5LnNhbmZvcmQuZHVrZS5lZHUvd3AtY29udGVudC91cGxvYWRzLzIwMjEvMDgvRGF0YS1Ccm9rZXJzLWFuZC1TZW5zaXRpdmUtRGF0YS1vbi1VUy1JbmRpdmlkdWFscy1TaGVybWFuLTIwMjEucGRmP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y2hhdGdwdC5jb20=
). Major data brokers may have ~1,500 data points on single
individuals, sometimes including cell phone data, credit card
transactions, SSN, date of birth, and even driving data (
https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/kkhmh6hn4x73owbl/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcG5ld3MuY29tL2FydGljbGUvZnRjLWdtLWRyaXZpbmctZGF0YS1pbnN1cmVycy1hNTU1YWJiNTZhMGQ1ZjMxYWZhOWI3M2MzZWI0ODI4Nw==
). There’s currently no comprehensive federal right for
individuals to see, correct, or opt out of data being compiled
about them. Think I’m exaggerating? I fact-checked this bullet
with a few LLMs:
Claude Opus 4.5: “The claims check out. The piece is well-sourced
on the data broker landscape.”
Gemini 3: “This text is a blend of accurate industry data,
specific historical quotes, and a slightly outdated statistic
that actually understates the current scale of the data broker
industry.”
And this was all before AI. I’ll save quantum computing
considerations for another time.
---------------------
Excerpt I’m pondering
---------------------
“The real danger is the gradual erosion of individual liberties
through the automation, integration, and interconnection of many
small, separate record-keeping systems, each of which alone may
seem innocuous, even benevolent, and wholly justifiable.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------
I recommended creatine in The 4-Hour Body more than ten years
ago, and I’ve long benefitted from creatine for athletic and gym
performance. Now, my focus is cognitive health, and creatine
seems like cheap insurance; a pilot study in Alzheimer’s patients
demonstrated that supplementing can increase brain creatine
levels in just 8 weeks, improving measures of memory, reasoning,
and attention.
At the very least, it seems to help me function at a high level

Dear Friend,
Thank you for requesting free chapters of my first three books,
which have all been #1 national bestsellers.

).
I’ll also add you to my popular newsletter, which has roughly
two million subscribers. Some of the world’s most successful
business and thought leaders take a few minutes to read it each
week.
Every Friday, I send out 5-Bullet Friday, a short email with
links to the five most useful and fascinating things I’ve found
that week. Readers see a lot on the cutting edge before the
mainstream. It’s been going for 10 years, and many people have
been reading for 10 years!
And if you like social media, you can also find me on the usual
suspects: Instagram (

and family, check out my brand-new card game (
