1, Advice I’ve pondered a lot this week… I recently finished the book, Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Way to Joy, by Mo Gawdat.

Series I watched… Graham Hancock is a British journalist who is often mistaken for an archeologist because of his interest in, knowledge of, and theories on early civilizations, historical documents, and archeological facts. He is strongly disliked by the archeological community because of the questions he asks and the observations he has made (kind…
1. Some great insights I read this week… Tim Ferris re-posted “100 Tips for a Better Life,” by Conor Barnes. I was expecting a basic list, with things that I had already read or heard, but much to my (pleasant) surprise, it was loaded with tips that I had not heard of, or thought of,…
1. Words of wisdom I received this week… I am blessed to be able to see hundreds of patients every week, from newborn babies to patients in their 90’s. My ears always perk up when my oldest patients share some wisdom. They have SO MUCH to share, having seen and experienced so much. This week,…
