Overtime: Begrudgingly - Seth Godin

Social niceties are easy to do half-heartedly.

But they’re not for us, they’re for the other person.

When you show up begrudgingly, it’s not half-hearted, it’s cold hearted.

A handshake, a greeting, the way we sit in a meeting or wear a mask–it’s a chance to connect and to make a difference for the person we’re with.

All in, or not at all.

1 Travels with my father

We finished watching all seven seasons of Doc Martin. So this one loomed up next.

2 When Ralph met Walt

It was 1860. Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman hung out. Here's what happened.

3 From a certain point of view

Obi-Wan! Was he right to tell Luke a porky about Darth Vader?

4 Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee 

I'm a big fan of this show. What's not to like - it's Jerry Seinfeld. It's relaxed (lovely shots of coffee and cars; lovely cafe style relaxed music). It's funny in a gentle way and it's short enough - roughly each episode is around 15 minutes long.

5 Wild By Nature

My current reading matter, borrowed from Jade's bookcase. It's okay but not especially well written.
