1. What everyone is talking about -

• The EAT-lancet commission published a plan to save the world and our health. But there are a few holes in their plant-based agenda.

• A misleading picture of corn.

• There is a big difference between intentionally contracting a muscle and moving a weight. And new research shows that you can nearly double muscle thickness by focusing on squeezing the bicep during the curl rather than moving the bar. It's an internal focus rather than external.

• I love reading Walter Isaacson biographies. He depicts geniuses who have merged art and science in unexplored ways. And Leonardo Da Vinci epitomizes multi-discipline integration. He's a remarkable account of the power of childlike curiosity combined with imagination. 

• I'm practicing using deliberate practice. This is a special kind of practice. And if you are trying to learn any skill, this painful method is the fastest way to get there.

7. What I'm listening to -

• "Lights On" by Maggie Rogers. My favorite artists right now. She just released her first album "Heard it in a Past Life." It's good.

It's a pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!
