 New giveaway I’m launching:
I’ve partnered with Eight Sleep, and they are gifting 20 subscribers one Pod Pro Cover each. This is an amazing sleep optimization device I use myself. It pairs dynamic cooling and heating with biometric tracking to offer the most advanced (and user-friendly) solution on the market. Add the Pod Pro Cover to your current mattress and start sleeping as cool as 55°F or as hot as 110°F. The technology adjusts the temperature of each side of the bed based on your sleep stages, biometrics, and bedroom temperature, reacting intelligently to create the optimal sleeping environment.

To be eligible to win a Pod Pro Cover, all you have to do is refer one (1) friend by 11:59 PM PT next Monday, June 7th, who signs up for my newsletter (“5-Bullet Friday,” etc.) using your special link, which is https://sparklp.co/fbf0a427 The link is unique to each person receiving this email. You can copy and paste it to share with others.

***The more people you refer, the greater your chances of winning.***

Below are two sample paragraphs that you can copy and paste or use as a starting point. You can also draft your own, of course:

“Hard choices, easy life. Easy choices, hard life.” — Jerzy Gregorek. This quote and so many other gems found in @tferriss’s “5-Bullet Friday” newsletter. More here: https://sparklp.co/fbf0a427

Want a rare email that you actually look forward to each week? Try “5-Bullet Friday” by @tferriss. It’s the highlight of my weekly inbox. Sign up here and thank me later: https://sparklp.co/fbf0a427

Once we reach the deadline of Monday, June 7th, we will reach out to the 20 winners no later than Friday of that week.

IMPORTANT: For your submission to count as valid, each referral (person you refer who signs up) needs to be a new, unique subscriber (they must confirm their subscription by the deadline via the opt-in confirmation email after signing up). Thanks for not gaming the system, as we’ll spot it, and we all want fair play. This is limited to the U.S. and Canada only.

And just to cover our bases: no purchase of any type is required, this is void where prohibited, you must be 18 years of age or older, no minotaurs, don’t sue me for trying to do something nice, etc., etc.

With all that said, experiment and have fun!

 New podcast episode:
Chris Bosh on How to Reinvent Yourself, The Way and The Power, the Poison of Complaining, Leonardo da Vinci, and More

Chris Bosh (@chrisbosh) fell in love with basketball at an early age and earned the prestigious “Mr. Basketball” title while still in high school (Lincoln High School) in Dallas, Texas. A McDonald’s All-American, Bosh was selected fourth overall by the Toronto Raptors after one year attending Georgia Tech. By the end of his basketball career, he was an 11-time NBA All-Star, two-time champion, and the NBA’s first Global Ambassador of Basketball. In March of 2019, Bosh’s #1 Jersey was officially retired for the Miami Heat. In addition to his basketball career, Bosh founded the community-uplift organization Team Tomorrow in 2010 and regularly speaks to youth about the benefits of reading, coding, and leadership. Bosh, his wife Adrienne, and their five children reside in Austin, Texas.

His new book is Letters to a Young Athlete, which includes a foreword by Pat Riley.

Please enjoy!

How to Become a Better Writer by Becoming a Better Noticer

Sam Apple (samapple.com) is the author of the new book Ravenous: Otto Warburg, the Nazis, and the Search for the Cancer-Diet Connection. It’s the story of a brilliant scientist in Nazi Germany and how the rediscovery of his long-lost metabolism research is fundamentally changing the way we think about cancer. The book emerged from a piece Sam wrote for The New York Times Magazine in 2016. An exclusive, unpublished excerpt from that article appeared on this very blog.

His work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Wired, the Los Angeles Times, Financial Times Magazine, ESPN The Magazine, MIT Technology Review, and McSweeney’s, among many other publications. Sam teaches science writing and creative writing at Johns Hopkins University.

What follows is a short guest post from Sam on how better noticing can make for better writing, including writing exercises (click that link to go down directly to the exercises) to help you develop your own noticing powers.
