Smart Health
🏃♂️How exercise shapes you. I'm not a huge fan of running, but with the gyms closed it's enough to get me out and about. Once the pandemic has finished causing havoc, it's back to BJJ for me.
💉Thriva is a convenient service for tracking your blood health at home. You take your car for a regular checkup, but how about checking up on your body? Here's an in-depth review.
Building Wealth
🕵️♀️ Becoming one of a kind through specific knowledge. What feels like play to you but looks like work to others?
📈Where next for the price of bitcoin? Investing in bitcoin is an example of what I would consider an asymmetric risk, a concept I linked to in the Edge #2.

🩺A wonderful interview with a neurosurgeon on compassion, however the most interesting part is the discussion of how our internal voice shapes our identity, starting at 7.07 mins into the conversation.
🧘♂️The pursuit of calm. Key quote: "much about your fate is not your own work. You did not invent the world. You are not personally entirely responsible for your condition.The suffering is real, but remember that it is less personal than we tend to suppose."
