It\u2019s the story of Theranos, the fraudulent Silicon Valley startup that promised to revolutionize health but instead perpetrated a potentially murderous scam. The founder surrounded herself with ultrarich powerful people who were blind to obvious warning signs because they were so enamored with the idea that they were going to make billions of dollars. This real-life tale beats any fictional corporate thriller. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maniacal performance<\/strong><br \/>\nThe fantastic documentary\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2ENTOFG?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">Free Solo<\/a>\u00a0deserves all praise it has received, including its recent Oscar. The film follows one guy\u2019s attempt to climb the vertical face of Yosemite\u2019s El Capitan without ropes. A single slip he dies. I could barely watch it, it was that crazy good. As the climber\u2019s friend put it: this demands an Olympic gold medal performance, except here, if you don\u2019t get the gold, you die. The film has suspense, drama, emotion, and explores maniacal obsession and perfection. Five stars. Now streamable. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday Soother<\/strong><br \/>\nI love reading\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tinyletter.com\/candrews?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">The Sunday Soother by Catherine Andrews<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 a newsletter about practical spirituality. Each week she shares her thoughts and processes for slowing down and creating more meaning in life, as well as articles, books, beauty products, recipes and more. It\u2019s like getting an intimate letter from a friend. Each email is a tool for self-reflection. Her last two issues were dedicated to grief and ambiguous loss \u2014 which I learned is a particular type of loss that lacks a definition and closure. She solicited stories from her readers and here is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tinyletter.com\/candrews\/letters\/the-sunday-soother-your-stories-and-strategies-around-ambiguous-loss?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">what was shared<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Narwhal for Reddit<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have an iPhone,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/getnarwhal.com\/?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">Narwhal<\/a>\u00a0is the best app to access Reddit. It\u2019s snappy, and highly customizable and much easier to use than Reddit\u2019s own app. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Happiness practices around the world<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019ve stumbled upon these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/6IUJ2?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">ten little drawings of happiness practices<\/a>\u00a0all over the internet, and they still make me happy. I like learning untranslatable words that stretch the imagination. My favorite from this set is the idea of forest bathing. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Smallest, cheapest flashlight<\/strong><br \/>\nThis\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2JetHxp?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">ThorFire<\/a>\u00a0is the brightest, cheapest ($15), smallest, lightest LED flashlight that runs on a single AA (rechargeable) battery. Rugged, made of metal, it will stand up on its end.
