Music, Movies, and Books
I'm reading all the time. All time favorite is Tim Ferris, The 4 Hour Workweek.
Music wise, I'm stuck in the 80s, so our teenagers think my music is embarrassingly bad.
Not so much into movies. Prefer documentaries.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A few exciting things:
- lived in Thailand, alone and with my family (including our children going to school in Thailand).
- have family in the jungle in Thailand and stayed out there many, many times.
- decreased my need for sleep... and been on national TV to talk about it.
- lived off my internet business for several years.
- worked at WHO (United Nations).
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach:
- minimalism
- climbing (bouldering)
- Thai language (aka. I speak intermediate Thai, so I guess it's more both of us learning and not just me teaching).
Learn:
- almost everything is potentially interesting. One of my rules is that everyone has something interesting to share.
