Love that show, but it&#8217;s probably the most mindless show out there.<\/p>\n<p>Starved for thoughtfulness, I have been overcompensating this week but reading, watching, and listening to some more educational and\u00a0inspirational\u00a0material.<\/p>\n<h2>TED Talks:<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve fell into this awesome habit of listening to a TED Talks on the treadmill during my workout cool down. It keeps me from getting bored on the treadmill, which is a frequent\u00a0occurrence\u00a0otherwise.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Brene Brown: The Power of Vulnerability<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I did a quick Google search of the best TED Talks, and this one showed up at the top of many of the lists. At 20 minutes long, it was the perfect length for my cool-down walk on the treadmill. Thought provoking and funny.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Allan Savory: How to fight desertification and reverse climate change<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\">This talk was recommended to me, and it is amazing! It&#8217;s very inspiring and exciting, and if you care about the planet at all you&#8217;ll be relieved to hear what Allan has to say.<\/p>\n<h2>Books:<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;m an avid reader and always have been. Every night before bed, I try to get in at least half an hour of reading, otherwise I can&#8217;t sleep. It&#8217;s my way of winding down, but the right book can also inspire me and give me ideas. Plus, it&#8217;s a great way to learn.<\/p>\n<p>I always have fiction or a\u00a0memoir\u00a0going on as well, but I&#8217;ve been really into non-fiction lately.<\/p>\n<p>I got these for free by using my\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/swagbucks.com\/refer\/addvodka\" target=\"_blank\">Swagbucks [referral code]<\/a>, which was nice (who doesn&#8217;t love free reading material?)<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><noscript><br \/>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wms.assoc-amazon.com\/20070822\/US\/img\/noscript.gif?tag=addvod-20\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<\/noscript>(If you buy the book from that link, I&#8217;ll get a referral bonus).<\/p>\n<p>Lean In was super inspiring to me. It was an easy read and I was finished it in just a few days. Sheryl is a great writer and very\u00a0relatable; the book seemed a bit disjointed at times, but the message was well\u00a0received.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Good to Great<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><noscript><br \/>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/wms.assoc-amazon.com\/20070822\/US\/img\/noscript.gif?tag=addvod-20\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<\/noscript>I&#8217;m still reading this one. It&#8217;s really good so far and very thought provoking. It&#8217;s full of research and hard evidence, and which is much appreciated for my\u00a0analytic\u00a0brain.<\/p>\n<h2>Documentaries:<\/h2>\n<p>Who doesn&#8217;t love a good documentary? I find them fascinating; I&#8217;m not a huge movie fan, unless it&#8217;s a documentary. I think I&#8217;m just captivated by them because they are real-life; the studies, the people profiled in them &#8211; all real!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Something&#8217;s Wrong with Aunt Diane<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember in 2009 when there was that horrible car accident on the Taconic State Parkway in the States that killed four children and the driver, and three other people? The woman driving (mother and aunt to the children killed) was driving down the wrong side of the highway clocking 85 MPH and was found to have a high level of alcohol and THC in her blood toxicity report.<\/p>\n<p>This documentary follows what&#8217;s left of her family and interviews her friends and people that knew her before the crash. It was fascinating, and it was on HBO (I believe) in the last couple of weeks. You can also find it online.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Any suggestions on the next round of things to watch\/read?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a spell of watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians re-runs for 2 weeks straight, I was feeling like my IQ went down a few pegs.
