Friday's Five 🖐🏼 #126
Happy Friday's Five,
if you've ever been to Napoli chances are high that you've had pizza at Da Michele. If you loved their pizza as much as I did and live in Berlin, news of the week is that Da Michele just opened a pizzeria in Berlin on Wednesday!
What I'm reading
Already Free by Bruce Tift. A book about where psychotherapy meets Buddhism on a path to liberation: "The experience of freedom arises not from acquiring our preferred lifestyle and our preferred state of mind but from a willingness to stay with ourselves—to be completely committed to experiencing our lives—regardless of circumstance." More about this book.
What I'm listening to
Rediscovered: Gang of Youths' most recent album 'Go Farther In Lightness' (great album title, btw). This is a phenomenal album from start to finish that I love going back to. Great songwriting, amazing instrumentation and arrangement, an all-in-all fantastic record that came out in 2017. The standout track is 'Don't Let Your Spirit Wane'. Listen on Spotify.
What I'm watching
McMafia - Season 1. I've bumped into this show here and there on Amazon Prime and finally gave it a show and it's solid.
What I'm thinking about
This week, I saw another person looking to hire a "rockstar". Made me think that people hiring "rockstars" would stop using the word if they would have worked with an actual rockstar. Instead, I'd look for band members who master their instrument, who harmonize with the others on a personal and musical level and who put the band first, not an ego-centric singer.
What else?
I've been switching between alternate day fasting (38-40 hours) and intermittent fasting (16-8) for the past 60 days and have been using the app Zero to track my fasts. It's a simple and nice app to track your fasts if fasting is something you're interested in. Check out the app.
Thanks for reading, have a great weekend!
