Every Wednesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

1. How the psychology of the England team can be used to improve your day to day life. Lots of useful advice on how to deal with pressure.

2. An interesting piece on Ólafur Arnalds, Max Richter and the rise of contemporary instrumental music. (If you hit a paywall, use this link. The top search result should grant you access)

3. Ever wondered how many people have ever lived on Earth? I have. Here's your answer!

4. Food for thought from Oliver Burkeman: Hate where you live? So does everyone else

5. I can't sit still whilst listening to this song. 🎶 Future Islands - Seasons (Waiting On You)
