News from the Future<\/strong>
\nIn addition to Recomendo, I also write a newsletter for Institute for the Future, called \u201cNews from the Future.\u201d It comes out twice a week and each issue has four or five short news items that are signals of possible futures that await us.\u00a0Subscribe here<\/a>. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

New ways to work<\/strong>
\nI am not into management or business books, but this one is an exception:\u00a0Brave New Work<\/a>. It\u2019s an intelligent and readable summary of the best practices (so far) in remaking what we used to call \u201cwork.\u201d Aaron Dignan evaluates all the crazy ideas (open books, no bosses, etc.) to see which ones are effective in creating organizations that get us to do our best. He distills practical advice, too. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

Russian Doll on Netflix<\/strong>
\nIn\u00a0Russian Doll<\/a>, a video game programmer finds herself in an endless loop of dying and repeating the same day. Each reboot requires her to dig deeper into her own existence, relationships, and trauma to figure out the purpose of the paranormal glitch and try to fix it. It is\u00a0Groundhog Da<\/em>y meets\u00a0Twilight Zone<\/em>\u00a0meets a life coaching session from hell. It\u2019s great \u2014 I finished it in two days. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Add Weather to your Google Calendar<\/strong>
\nI like using Google Calendar\u2019s \u201cmonth view\u201d to plan my life, and I realized it would be helpful if I could see a weather forecast while I\u2019m scheduling hikes and social outings. The easiest way I found to add a weather calendar\u00a0was here<\/a>. Now I have a two-week forecast always visible. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n

Dark chocolate bars with cashew butter and vanilla bean<\/strong>
\nI bought these\u00a0dark chocolate bars<\/a>\u00a0for my wife as a Christmas present, and now we\u2019re hopelessly hooked. They\u2019re a bit like peanut butter cups, but in bar form, and less sweet. A 4-pack runs $25, but if you order them via Amazon subscribe and save, it\u2019ll cost you $21.25. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n

Potent Quotes<\/strong>
\nHere are a few quotes that keep kicking me. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re not ready to find exceptional things, you won\u2019t discover them.\u201d \u2014 Avi Loeb
\n\u201cI don\u2019t explain \u2014 I explore.\u201d \u2014 Marshall McLuhan
\n\u201cEverywhere I go I find a poet has been there before me.\u201d \u2014 Sigmund Freud
\n\u201cThe genius is the one most like himself.\u201d \u2014 Thelonious Monk
\n\u201cThere is only one difference between a madman and me. I am not mad.\u201d \u2014Salvador Dali<\/p>\n
