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

1. How the psychology of the England team can be used to improve your day to day life. Lots of useful advice on how to deal with pressure.

2. An interesting piece on Ólafur Arnalds, Max Richter and the rise of contemporary instrumental music. (If you hit a paywall, use this link. The top search result should grant you access)

3. Ever wondered how many people have ever lived on Earth? I have. Here's your answer!

4. Food for thought from Oliver Burkeman: Hate where you live? So does everyone else

5. I can't sit still whilst listening to this song. 🎶 Future Islands - Seasons (Waiting On You)

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

ps. There won't be a Five Things next week. Usual service will resume the following week.

Hola

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

1. Some pithy wisdom from Seth Godin that really stuck with me. — The opposite of "more"
    
2. One for the curious. — Where did England’s counties get their names?
    
3. Bruce Springsteen seems to be pretty good at the viral video thing (this is his second Five Things appearance in two weeks). He also seems to be a pretty cool guy! — Bruce Springsteen Invites Teenager on Stage Who Steals the Show
    
4. Good advice and a challenge from cartoonist and teacher Paul Karasik. — Study something you love in depth
    
5. This morning I interviewed my good friend Jay Goodrich for a new project (more on that another time). Last week his band Druids released the video to their song Stuart Slater Alligator (it was directed by my brother Scott). Their debut album is out on the 3rd March. Can't wait to hear it!

That's all for this week. If you enjoyed it, sign up to receive future posts or check out my previous Five Things posts.
