BOOK OF THE WEEK
This book was adapted by James Harris to be extremely easy to read. There is some good advice sprinkled throughout the book.
The Enchiridion: Epictetus
Adapted By James Harris
The Enchiridion or Manual of Epictetus (Enchiridion is Greek for “that which is held in the hand”) is a short manual of Stoic ethical advice compiled by the Greek philosopher Epictetus.
This manual has been carefully adapted into modern English to allow for easy reading. (Source: Goodreads)
MOVIE OF THE WEEK
This film isn’t for everyone; nevertheless, I have watched it a few times over the years and each time I have found it interesting.
Mulholland Drive (2001)
Mulholland Dr. is a 2001 surrealist neo-noir mystery film written and directed by David Lynch. Mulholland Drive is often regarded as one of Lynch’s finest works and was ranked 28th in the 2012 Sight & Sound critics’ poll of the best films ever made, and topped a 2016 poll by BBC Culture of the best films since 2000.

Star Trek was really ahead of its time with the social themes they explored (out in space). Thank you Priscilla for commenting.

I did not know William Shatner was 90! I thought he was 80 at the absolute most. Remarkable how he is still out there working.
