DOOMSDAY PREP FOR THE SUPER-RICH
DOOMSDAY PREP FOR THE SUPER-RICH (New Yorker) -- “Some of the wealthiest people in America—in Silicon Valley, New York, and beyond—are getting ready for the crackup of civilization.” I’m not super rich, but I do enjoy a good apocalypse read as much as the next guy. I might even be part-prepper, as readers of “WILD” section in The 4-Hour Chef know. One of my editors laughed at recommendations in early drafts of that section… until Hurricane Sandy caught NYC with its pants down two weeks later. #generatorandwater— Tim Ferriss

World Happiness Report 2016
World Happiness Report 2016 -- This compares self-reported happiness across countries around the world. It’s a fascinating read and a great reminder to be grateful. Dozens of countries are included, including Bhutan, often thought of as “the world’s happiest country” due to the emphasis on so-called Gross National Happiness (GNH) instead of GDP. Spoiler -- It is not the world’s happiest, at least based on these data, and there’s a lot to dig into when considering how best to optimize your own happiness.— Tim Ferriss

What’s In My Bag (2016 edition)
What’s In My Bag (2016 edition) by Matt Mullenweg — Matt (@photomatt) is one of my favorite humans, the founding developer of WordPress (powers 25%+ of the Internet), and one of the most sophisticated gear heads on the planet. This article covers all the gear and gadgets he currently carries as Everyday Carry (EDC) in his backpack. It’s one hell of a list. For a hilarious tequila-infused podcast with Matt, listen to our wide-ranging conversation here, which covers productivity, polyphasic sleep, and more.— Tim Ferriss

One of the questions I’m constantly asked is, “How do I get influencers to help me?” I wrote a new blog post that outlines what works with true “influencers”– people who can single-handedly make or break a product launch. Specifically, I share an e-mail from Andrew Zimmern (@andrewzimmern) that gets nearly every “influencer” element right.— Tim Ferriss
