|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Whiplash | Film | Enjoyed this more than I thought. I’m always looking for films that are different to the usual hero vs villain, problem to solution kinda film. Like some twists and turns. This had that! | ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ | Film about a drummer and his dickhead teacher. | 31 Jan |
How to Live by Derek Sivers | Book | He did say in the title is was 27 conflicting answers and 1 weird conclusion. It was exactly that, completely batshit. Didn’t think I learnt that much. Only wasted a few hours because it was short. Shame because I loved “anything you want”. | ⭐️ ⭐️ | Sivers’ latest book. Bit weird. Like a shitty poem. | October 21 |

The Dip | Book | Didn’t enjoy this very much as it felt like the same thing being repeated over and over. Got the entire premise of the book from one YouTube vid. Yet to find a Seth Godin book I like. | ⭐️ ⭐️ | By Seth Godin. With everything you have to push through “The Dip” | August 21 |

Steal Like An Artist | Book | Book had a great impact on me. Read it in 1 hour. Super pleasant drawings throughout and inspired me to write my first ever book summary. | ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ | By Austin Kleon. About how no idea is original and documenting work is important. | October 21 |
