![]() ![]() ![]() It’s the story of the rescue of the Thai football team who were trapped in the cave. I’ve enjoyed a couple of documentaries recently. I’ve also enjoyed the police drama We Own this City. Perhaps both are tapping into a nostalgic streak. Stranger Things is similar it’s not something I’d usually pick but I’ve enjoyed it. So, the recent Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney + caught my imagination and I’ve enjoyed it. I’ve never been a big Star Wars fan but the second wave of Star Wars films came out when I was a kid so I remember Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi. So, my other sporting loves are stepping in and I’m watching as much golf and cricket as I can. ![]() Whether it’s live football (with my chosen club, Chelsea) or on the television – if it’s around, I’ll watch it. If you’d asked me at a different time of the year, I’d have listed football as one of the things I’m watching. I’d recommend it for anyone who wants to improve the quality of thinking that they, and others, can reach together. This was a transforming book for me both professionally and personally. I also read Time to Think by Nancy Kline. You may remember it from Marcus’ article here. Recently, I enjoyed the Psychology of Money. I’m currently reading Susan David’s Emotional Agility and Brene Brown’s Dare to Lead. Both have been a great introduction to fiction. ![]() I really enjoyed American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins and City of Thieves by David Benioff. I’m not a big fiction reader but I’ve been making an effort recently. I hope, like me, you have an opportunity to lose yourself in some live entertainment over the Summer months. And the perhaps the one I’m most excited about – seeing my favourite band Red Hot Chili Peppers, supported by my favourite soloist Anderson .Paak. I’m also off to see Sub Focus, a Drum and bass DJ and Adele (not at the same gig). Starting with Lil Wayne – an American rapper. Over recent weeks I’ve seen the following artists I thought I’d share the recent and upcoming gigs I’m going to. This is another thing I owe to my parents.Īnd there’s nothing I like more than a live gig. It won’t surprise you to hear that my taste is wide and varied. So, let’s continue with the music I’m listening to. You’ll find yourself discovering music that touches your soul and reveals new genres and artists that you may have otherwise skipped. If you give up a little bit of control, you’ll find your listening horizons expanding. When listening to music – whether it’s an album or streaming services like Spotify – never skip a track. The hardest part was keeping the list to a sensible length – certainly when it comes to the music I’m listening to.īefore I dive into the list, there is one piece of advice that my Dad gave me, that I’d like to share with you. I really enjoyed pulling this list together. Our Financial Planner, Woods Mullan, shares his favourites. Join our free newsletter for easy tips to save more, waste less, and help yourself while helping the planet.From time to time, members of our team share what’s currently on their read, watch and listen lists. Just another reason to protect nature and our planet. Besides reducing anxiety, being surrounded by nature can improve your blood pressure, steady your heart rate, and even affect the amount of cortisol (a stress hormone) in your system. Jokes aside, study after study has shown that hearing natural sounds is actually quite good for our mental and physical health. One user commented that “learning this made me so keenly aware that most of the time I’m outside, there’s nothing to be of the birds are singing.”Īnother jokingly stated, “I hear that every morning starting at 3:30 from my bed and let me tell you my nervous system is not relaxed.” Putting aside the reasoning behind Emery’s advice, her followers were mostly supportive of the suggestion. In a recent study out of King’s College London, researchers who investigate the impact of birdsong on mental health explained that “the mental health benefits of everyday encounters with birdlife for mental health are poorly understood … e know little about the specific features within green and blue spaces which are driving these benefits.” So, while there are clear benefits to hearing birdsong, the scientific community isn’t exactly sure why. They are also singing to attract mates, establish territory, and communicate with other birds. Despite what Emery’s video claims, birds are not always singing to warn of predators. ![]()
