Five Things #82

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

  1. Listening to a lecture or in a meeting? Put that laptop away!

  2. Food for thought from Marcus Aurelius: "People look for retreats for themselves, in the country, by the coast, or in the hills. There is nowhere that a person can find a more peaceful and trouble-free retreat than in his own mind …. So constantly give yourself this retreat, and renew yourself."

  3. This is a good list: 52 things Tom Whitwell learned in 2017. Number 48 is pretty inspiring "In 1990, more than a third of people on Earth lived on less than $1.90 a day, adjusted for local prices. By 2013, barely 10 percent of people did." 

  4. I thought you'd find this useful: So You Just Bought a $450 Million Leonardo da Vinci Painting. Now What?

  5. I'm really enjoying Four Tet's latest album New Energy.

That's all for this week. If you enjoyed it, subscribe and you'll get the next one delivered to your inbox.
