After a short break, our Friday Finds (previously referred to as the Friday List) are back! I've rounded up some fantastic content I've been enjoying, and I hope you will too. As always, I'd love to hear what you're currently into, so share your recommendations in the comments!
This week's highlights include:
"40 Lessons from Turning 40" by Victor: I've been a longtime reader of Victor's insightful newsletter, and his "40 lessons" post truly stands out. It's packed with wisdom worth revisiting. A few that particularly resonated with me are:
"Build rhythms that help you become who you’re trying to be. These are like scaffolding for your character,"
"Great leaders don’t have all the answers. They bring people together to wrestle with the right questions and then move forward," and
"Not everything you feel needs to be solved. Sometimes it just wants to be noticed."
Which lesson speaks to you the most?
How to Stop Languishing and Start Finding Flow by Adam Grant: A timely read from a great thinker.
DOWNTON ABBEY: THE GRAND FINALE – Official Teaser Trailer [HD]: I am incredibly excited for the final Downton Abbey film! The acting, sets, and storylines are always impeccably done. Save the date for September 12!
"Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride" (From "Lilo & Stitch"): This song is pure summer fun and an instant mood booster!
4 New Frappuccino Flavors Coming to Starbucks in July: Get ready for some new sips! I'm especially looking forward to the salted caramel mocha. Fingers crossed it lives up to the hype!
'They were adrenaline junkies': The remarkable all-female flying team that helped defeat the Nazis - with wooden planes: Learn about the remarkable all-female flying team that helped defeat the Nazis using wooden planes. The Germans called them die Nacht Hexen, the Night Witches. What an incredible story of courage and ingenuity.
"If I Had a Heart" – VIKINGS // Anna Miilmann, Johan Karlström & Danish National Symphony Orchestra: I might have shared this one before, but it's just too good not to mention again.
"Smile" // Johan Karlström & The Danish National Vocal Ensemble (Live): I love the beautiful melancholy and rich vocals in this piece.
