The Biggest Little Farm

Misc VideosTim featured this 3× · 2019–2024 · amazon.com

The Biggest Little Farm. This film first caught my eye with its beautiful trailer. It has a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and here’s the shortened description: “The Biggest Little Farm chronicles the eight-year quest of John and Molly Chester as they trade city living for 200 acres of barren farmland and a dream to harvest in harmony with nature. Through dogged perseverance and embracing the opportunity provided by nature’s conflicts, the Chesters unlock and uncover a biodiverse design for living that exists far beyond their farm.” Their story made me reflect on life and “problems” di— Tim Ferriss

“This is Water” commencement speech by David Foster Wallace, which he gave at Kenyon College on May 21, 2005. It is also available in book form, but I highly recommend the audio. Past podcast guest Dr. Peter Attia listens to this every two weeks, which is how it first crossed my radar.— Tim Ferriss

Trial, error, and the God complex

Misc VideosTim featured this 2× · 2020–2025 · Tim Harford · ted.com

“Trial, error, and the God complex,” a TED talk by Tim Harford. Official description: “Economics writer Tim Harford studies complex systems—and finds a surprising link among the successful ones: they were built through trial and error. In this sparkling talk from TEDGlobal 2011, he asks us to embrace our randomness and start making better mistakes.” This talk takes a little time to warm up, and it might seem meandering in the middle, but I found the payoff and message to be really helpful.

Ep. 1 Ponyo is Here” (10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki)

Misc VideosTim featured this 2× · 2019–2025 · www3.nhk.or.jp

“Ep. 1 Ponyo is Here” (10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki). Hayao Miyazaki has been called “the Walt Disney of Japan,” but he has said the comparison isn’t accurate because Walt Disney was a business person, and he sees himself as “just a director.” Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli has produced four of Japan's top-five most successful animated blockbusters, including my favorite movie, Spirited Away, and Princess Mononoke, which beat The Lost World: Jurassic Park when they both hit the big screens in Japan. This episodic series from NHK, the BBC of Japan, chronicles “the creative process of the legendary Ja— Tim Ferriss

Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth with Bill Moyers. This six-part series of one-hour episodes is simply incredible, and I found it profoundly calming. It might be my favorite interview series of all time, which is saying a lot. Here’s the description: “Forty years ago, renowned scholar Joseph Campbell sat down with veteran journalist Bill Moyers for a series of interviews that became one of the most enduringly popular programs ever on PBS.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine, starting with Season 1, Episode 1. To decompress and destress at the end of each day, I’ve been watching one 22-minute episode of this show, which features an all-star cast and is wonderfully ridiculous.

Alamo Drafthouse theaters (@alamodrafthouse) are probably my favorites in the country. The food, booze, and experience are fantastic. This is partly due to a simple rule: Do not fucking talk or use your phone, or we’ll kick your ass out. The above video is a consequence of that rule.

The Francis Mallmann episode of Chef’s Table (Season 1, Episode 3). This was recommended to me at least a dozen times before I finally watched it, and I shouldn’t have waited. Francis (@francismallmann) is the Argentine author of one of my all-time favorite cookbooks, Seven Fires, and this series was created by David Gelb, who also directed Jiro Dreams of Sushi.

For the language nerds, you’ll hear many different flavors of Mandarin, plus one showcase of Taiwanese. >From the description: “Master Chef Chu (Sihung Lung) is semi-retired and lives at home with his three unmarried daughters, Jia-Jen (Kuei-Mei Yang), a religious chemistry te— Tim Ferriss
