It’s 5 share Friday, that special part of Friday the world* looks forward to before it goes crazy for the weekend.
*or the 1 or 2 people who might read this blog
1. Quote I’ve been pondering this week..well actually I ponder everyday as have the below picture hanging on the wall of our stairway at home.
2. Book I’ve been reading, well actually 2 books. When Breath Becomes Air – Paul Kalanithi, one of the most important and inspiring books I’ve read in a long time, I wish it was around when I was younger. I’m also reading We all looked up by Tommy Wallach, a thought-provoking, compelling story that critics are calling the Breakfast Clubfor a modern generation.
3. New purchase – I live in my Topo Athletic footwear. They’re great for cushioning, walking / running and a good balance between Barefoot and Nike comfort. Also, they don’t offend the eyes. I wouldn’t do without them nowadays. So much so I’ve just bought a new pair as my old ones have worn out (worn everyday for 12 months). If you’re wondering which ones I like and recommend, it’s these Hydroventure
4. Article I’ve been reading: Exciting re-org at Team Xbox in Microsoft. The VP of Minecraft is now heading up all internal studios at Xbox 1st party. A great choice and I’m excited for all of my friends and ex colleagues there.
5. Music I’ve been listening too: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/essential-mind-body-soul-refresh/648937692 this one is great for a soundtrack to the book When Breath becomes Air, as well as napping on public transport or simply chilling at home. Warning..you may feel like doing Yoga or meditating while it’s playing..
