Thanks Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra for spending 460 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to Kiss the Sky. #SpotifyWrapped

4000 weeks, Oliver Burkeman

I’ve bought this book for friends and keep recommending it to people. It’s the last efficiency/lifehack book you’ll ever need to read. Every page is a joy, every insight one you’ll want to share, but then you can also just lean back, enjoy life and relax.

Tripp Mickle gained access to an unprecedented amount of Apple executives to write a behind-the-scenes book of a company that known for keeping the behind-the-scenes firmly locked down. Juicy, insightful, personal.

The Gentlemen

Entertaining story, larger than life characters, some (graphic) violence but also a lot of quirky and funny moments. One of those movies to save for a Saturday evening. Now available on Netflix.

Fuzz - When Nature Breaks the Law

Mary Roach’ books are all worth checking out. I’ve bought and read and enjoyed every single book she wrote, from Bonk (the curious coupling of science and sex) to Gulp (adventures in the alimentary canal) and now her most recent book: Fuzz: when nature breaks the law. Interesting, funny and ethically challenging chapters about animals around the world interacting with humans and each other, and breaking our laws and natures laws.

Losing The Signal by Jacquie Mcnish

Losing the signal takes you on an emotional rollercoaster through an amazing story of luck, greed and incompetence. It’s the story of how Blackberry became the dominant smart phone platform, and then lost it all. The interesting thing is that every decision they make, which seems logical and smart on itself, turns out to lead to a chain of events that triggers their downfall. An incredibly interesting and exciting journey of a book.

Quantanite

A playlist to keep you warm all through spring. A few classics, a lot of international influences, one or two song you might recognize as the inspiration for more current songs, and an overall beach-vibe that will relax and energize you.
