Quand nous sommes témoins de quelque chose de formidable, nombre d'entre nous sortent instinctivement leur téléphone et prennent des photos. Cette obsession à tout photographier influence-t-elle nos expériences ? Au cours d'une intervention méditative, Erin Sullivan réfléchit à comment être plus intentionnelle avec son objectif a développé sa capacité à profiter du moment, et comment cela pourrait vous aider à en faire de même.

The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom
Staying grounded in what really matters has been vital for me throughout my career, especially when it comes to making art. This book is one I always come back to when it comes to developing the tools I need to find success and satisfaction and to live my life with intention and integrity. It's a relatively quick read that is full of wisdom with practical applications.

No Reservations
I will always look up to Bourdain for the conversations he started around travel and the way he learned from those he met along the way.
