Seeing a comment like that on one of my videos gives me the affirmation that I\u2019m doing something right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-custom_5dzmfzg0c\">What\u2019s the last thing you read?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Influence-New-Expanded-Psychology-Persuasion\/dp\/0062937650\/ref=asc_df_0062937650\/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=509245866633&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=17617208743056189131&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9073499&amp;hvtargid=pla-1019935051106&amp;psc=1\" target=\"_blank\">Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Robert B. Cialdini<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An amazing book going through the psychology of making people do things, both in day-to-day life and in marketing for businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-custom_ax59j2p7m\">Click the + button in your browser to save this to your mind as a book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-custom_5dzmfzg0c\">What book do you want to read next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">I actually don\u2019t read a ton of books. I\u2019m more of an internet reader. I like coming across random articles on the internet and then going down the rabbit hole of learning more about what I\u2019ve just read. So I don\u2019t have anything next on my list, I like to wait for something interesting to come along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-custom_5dzmfzg0c\">A quote that\u2019s meaningful to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\"Life is random. So don\u2019t get too upset over things out of your control. Enjoy the things that you\u2019re lucky enough to already have. Don\u2019t take things too seriously.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-custom_ax59j2p7m\">Highlight the text, quotation marks included, to save it to your mind as a quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-custom_5dzmfzg0c\">Best gift you\u2019ve ever given?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This one is difficult to answer because some gifts are purely monetary and some are meaningful. I don\u2019t think I can ever judge what is the best gift I have given. That\u2019s down to the receiver of the gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-custom_5dzmfzg0c\">Where do you want to travel to next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently sitting at the top are Japan, Iceland and New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-custom_5dzmfzg0c\">What would you buy, if money weren\u2019t an issue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going to sound crazy, but a private jet. I\u2019d love to see more of the world without having to go through the hassle of airport security and everything else that comes with it. I have claustrophobia too, so I hate small airplane seats. I want to stretch out and relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-custom_5dzmfzg0c\">What hobby would you take up, if you had the time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Music, for sure. I have no idea how music creation works whatsoever or how to use any instruments. But I see Charlie Puth\u2019s TikTok videos and think to myself, \u201cI\u2019d love to do that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-custom_5dzmfzg0c\">What is the funniest tweet you\u2019ve read lately?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a little giggle <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ericasmyname\/status\/1574906585150885888?s=20&amp;t=AcXsZH5NQqumXncQvgEIdg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">at this one.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-custom_ax59j2p7m\">Click the + button in your browser on desktop to share this to your mind on mobile to save it as a tweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-custom_5dzmfzg0c\">One good recipe we should make?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teaforturmeric.com\/keema-matar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Keema Matar!<\/a> A basic but hugely underrated dish.
