This mini documentary takes a look at how Elon Musk sees the world through a scientific and engineering mind – and how this fuels the businesses he has started. We will also take a look at how he taught himself about different industries: from banking (Paypal), to rocket engineering (SpaceX). Elon Musk champions the use of physics as a way of thinking. And believes that more people should be innovating in manufacturing – to help build the city of the future. Rather than entering the finance, law, or internet based industries. This video also takes a look at the ‘reasoning from first principles’ framework – which will allow anyone to view their world, personal and business, just like Elon.

Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future 
Audible Audiobook – Unabridged
Ashlee Vance (Author), Fred Sanders (Narrator), HarperAudio (Publisher)
Kindle from $11.99 Read with Our Free App Audiobook $0.00 $14.98Paperback
In the spirit of Steve Jobs and Moneyball, Elon Musk is both an illuminating and authorized look at the extraordinary life of one of Silicon Valley’s most exciting, unpredictable, and ambitious entrepreneurs – a real-life Tony Stark – and a fascinating exploration of the renewal of American invention and its new makers.
Elon Musk spotlights the technology and vision of Elon Musk, the renowned entrepreneur and innovator behind SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity, who sold one of his Internet companies, PayPal, for $1.5 billion. Ashlee Vance captures the full spectacle and arc of the genius’ life and work, from his tumultuous upbringing in South Africa and flight to the United States to his dramatic technical innovations and entrepreneurial pursuits.
Vance uses Musk’s story to explore one of the pressing questions of our age: Can the nation of inventors and creators who led the modern world for a century still compete in an age of fierce global competition? He argues that Musk – one of the most unusual and striking figures in American business history – is a contemporary, visionary amalgam of legendary inventors and industrialists, including Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, and Steve Jobs. More than any other entrepreneur today, Musk has dedicated his energies and his own vast fortune to inventing a future that is as rich and far reaching as the visionaries of the golden age of science-fiction fantasy.

Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business Kindle Edition
by Charles Duhigg (Author) Hardcover $16.76
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE POWER OF HABIT COMES A FASCINATING NEW BOOK EXPLORING THE SCIENCE OF PRODUCTIVITY, AND WHY, IN TODAY’S WORLD, MANAGING HOW YOU THINK–RATHER THAN WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT–CAN TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE.
Productivity, recent studies suggest, isn’t always about driving ourselves harder, working faster and pushing ourselves toward greater “efficiency.” Rather, real productivity relies on managing how we think, identify goals, construct teams and make decisions. The most productive people, companies and organizations don’t merely act differently–they envision the world and their choices in profoundly different ways.
This book explores eight concepts that are critical to increasing productivity. It takes you into the cockpit of two passenger jets (one crashes) to understand the importance of constructing mental models–telling yourself stories about yourself in order to subconsciously focus on what really matters. It introduces us to basic training in the U.S. Marine Corps, where the internal locus of control is exploited to increase self-motivation. It chronicles the outbreak of Israel’s Yom Kippur War to examine cognitive closure–a dangerous trap that stems from our natural desire to feel productive and check every last thing off our to-do lists, causing us to miss obvious risks and bigger opportunities. It uses a high-achieving public school in Cincinnati to illuminate the concept of disfluency, which holds that we learn faster and more deeply when we make the data harder to absorb. It shows how the principles of lean manufacturing–in which decision-making power is pushed to the lowest levels of the hierarchy–allowed the FBI to produce a software system that had eluded them for years. It explores how Disney made Frozen into a record success by encouraging tension among animation teams–a version of what biologists refer to as the Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis, which posits that nature is most creative when crises occur. With the combination of relentless curiosity, deep reporting and rich storytelling that defined The Power of Habit, Charles Duhigg takes readers from neurology laboratories to Google’s brainstorming sessions and illustrates how we can all increase productivity in our lives.

Things That Make Us Smart: Defending Human Attributes in the Age of the Machine Kindle Edition
by Don Norman(Author) Kindle $7.55Read with Our Free App Hardcover $36.30 Paperback $14.58
By the author of THE DESIGN OF EVERYDAY THINGS.
Insightful and whimsical, profoundly intelligent and easily accessible, Don Norman has been exploring the design of our world for decades, exploring this complex relationship between humans and machines. In this seminal work, fully revised and updated, Norman gives us the first steps towards demanding a person-centered redesign of the machines we use every day.
Humans have always worked with objects to extend our cognitive powers, from counting on our fingers to designing massive supercomputers. But advanced technology does more than merely assist with memory—the machines we create begin to shape how we think and, at times, even what we value. In THINGS THAT MAKE US SMART, Donald Norman explores the complex interaction between human thought and the technology it creates, arguing for the development of machines that fit our minds, rather than minds that must conform to the machine.

The Science of Smart: Unlocking the Mysteries of the Mind Single Issue Magazine – October 30, 2018
There was a time in the not-too-distant past when intelligence was associated almost exclusively with narrow IQ tests designed to predict who would succeed and who could not. That IQ score was said to be fixed. But in 2018, thanks to a revolution in cognitive neuroscience, experts now know that we have many kinds of intelligence –not all of them measured by old-style IQ tests- and that IQ itself can be enhanced. How we raise our children, how we spend our spare time, even our exercise, all serves to boost the cognitive brain. In this book, we cover the range of intelligences that make us successful, from verbal and spatial to social and emotional—and, through a series of exercises and how-to’s, we dive deep into the emerging techniques for boosting our brains across the realms. Look here for an interactive quiz to find your creative style; create a workout program of physical exercise to boost your smarts; and take an in-depth test of your emotional IQ. Bonus features include sample questions across the different areas of intelligence and a bona fide version of the Wonderlic test, which is today given widely to job applicants in Fortune 500 Companies and even the NFL. The good news is that new training techniques covered in The Science of Smart can help anyone increase their scores and—more importantly—their performance in the world.

Leonardo da Vinci Paperback – October 2, 2018
by Walter Isaacson (Author) Paperback $11.99 Kindle $11.99
The #1 New York Times bestseller from Walter Isaacson brings Leonardo da Vinci to life in this exciting new biography that is “a study in creativity: how to define it, how to achieve it…Most important, it is a powerful story of an exhilarating mind and life” (The New Yorker).
Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo da Vinci’s astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson “deftly reveals an intimate Leonardo” (San Francisco Chronicle) in a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo’s genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy.
He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. He explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea, and produced illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history’s most creative genius.
In the “luminous” (Daily Beast) Leonardo da Vinci, Isaacson describes how Leonardo’s delight at combining diverse passions remains the ultimate recipe for creativity. So, too, does his ease at being a bit of a misfit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical. His life should remind us of the importance to be imaginative and, like talented rebels in any era, to think different. Here, da Vinci “comes to life in all his remarkable brilliance and oddity in Walter Isaacson’s ambitious new biography…a vigorous, insightful portrait” (The Washington Post).

Based on more than 40 interviews with Jobs conducted over two years – as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues – Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.
At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, and when societies around the world are trying to build digital-age economies, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the 21st century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering.

Much of what has long been labeled “alternative” medicine is actually viable ancient wisdom common for millennia. In a time of skyrocketing health insurance costs and with prescription drugs that often seem to cause as much harm as good, these natural, time-tested practices have moved into the mainstream. Between 30 and 40 percent of Americans seek out alternative treatments, such as acupuncture and natural remedies, spending more than $30 billion each year. Now, this special edition helps you unpack the sea of choices and navigate the trends for science-backed information. Trace a timeline to the origins of these modern treatments and explore the effective mystery of acupuncture; how to bend and be well with yoga; the healing power of plants, including cannabis; the dietary cleanse and the simple power of mindfulness to reduce stress. You’ll even find tips on getting coverage from your insurance company.

![TIME 100 Most Healing Foods: +20 Delicious Recipes by [The Editors of TIME]](https://www.amazon.com/images/I/51eW4liiv9L.jpg)
Single Issue Magazine $13.99
Put these 100 powerful foods to work for you.
That we need food to survive is evident, but it is also becoming increasingly clear that what we choose to eat can either harm or heal us. In an age where the vast majority of American adults fail to eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables a day, it is impossible to overstate the impact that food has on our livelihood. It has been used as medicine for hundreds of years and different cultures have long-standing cures and corrections for everyday ailments-in fact, many doctors prescribe fruits and vegetables for better health!
This new Special Edition from TIME presents 100 foods that will help bolster your health in unique ways. Some protect against cancer (think broccoli, turnips, and eggplant) and anti-inflammatory disorders (more reasons to enjoy pineapples, mushrooms, and swiss chard), while others ease cold symptoms and digestive issues. And because cooking gives us control over what we put in our bodies, there are also 20 creative recipes and simple tips for how to enjoy each of these foods (for instance, a flavorful Feta Herb Edamame Succotash). TIME’s 100 Most Healing Foods proves that filling our plates with colorful fruits and vegetables, power proteins, grains, nuts, and spices can set us up for long-term health and happiness!

Creativity and ingenuity are the qualities that set our species apart, argues neuroscientist David Eagleman. ‘Obviously, a little bit of credit needs to go to the opposable thumb and larynx, but fundamentally it’s about this massive mashup of ideas that we have … Most of them stink, but occasionally, something gets generated that works for our society.’ Eagleman has dedicated his life to understanding the inner workings of the brain, through his books ‘The Brain: The Story of You’ and ‘Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain’ and the television series ‘The Brain with David Eagleman’. For the past few years, the Stanford University professor has turned his attention to the link between the brain and creativity. With composer Anthony Brandt he’s co-authored a book, ‘The Runaway Species: How Human Creativity Remakes the World’, which explores the key components and possibilities of creativity through the lens of neuroscience. The pair propose that there are three key elements to all acts of human creativity: bending, blending and breaking. At the Athenaeum Theatre, Eagleman joins Natasha Mitchell to expand on these ideas, explaining how the human brain can remake the world.

What if Amazon moved its shipping centers downtown? Where drones fly into the buildings to pick up deliveries. This drone beehive is one of the ideas and patents that could be part of Amazon’s city of the future. From Amazon Go, the shop with no lines, and instant shipping and delivery, to hotels being serviced by Alexa, Amazon Echo, and Amazon Air. This mini documentary takes a look at how Amazon and Jeff Bezos are designing, and investing, into technology and new services that will bring a futuristic city to life.
You’ll be seeing more and more high tech farms popping up in cities. As the population grows, and we run out of farming land, along with climate change, the future of farming is to bring them into our cities. Creating high tech vertical farms that use aeroponics or hydroponics. From an underground farm in London, to a Japanese office building with a rice paddy field. Across the world people and companies are investing in creating new ways and technology to provide a more sustainable future. Big name investors include Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Leonardo DiCaprio, and even the former McDonalds CEO Don Thompson. All pushing the technology of farming and agriculture forward. Companies highlighted in this video include: AeroFarms, Growing Underground, Square Roots (who have Kimbal Musk, brother of Elon Musk, as a co-founder), the Open Agriculture Initiative, Persona Group, Farm One, Bowery, Plenty, Impossible Foods, and Beyond Meat.
In the last video we saw the different types and the potential of vertical farming, but we also saw how it is mostly limited to leafy greens. How can we improve vertical farming to grow more types of food, and how big can the impact be? We saw how the most promising type of vertical farm is the plant factory, and how it is more advanced than a hydroponic greenhouse. Not only does its use hydroponics but it also utilizes artificial grow lights and multiple growing levels. It has a much greater level of control over it’s environment, allowing it to boost yield. While Plant Factories might be the most viable version of vertical farming, is it going to be enough to impact the global issues? Agriculture is both a contributor and solution to major global issues, from climate change to world hunger. Can the plant factory help to solve these problems? What technology improvements are needed to make vertical farms profitable and sustainable? From the LED grow light, to solar energy, future tech will play a key role in reducing the cost and carbon footprint of this technology. But it’s not just renewable wind energy that will improve the energy efficiency. There are many improvements that can be made and we look at them in this video. As technology improves, vertical farms can broaden the variety of crops grown profitably. The difference between growing lettuce and growing rice is significant. What will it take to close the gap? Find out next video.
This video documentary goes over the rise of esports, and the big money behind it. From investing directly into Esport teams, game publishers and stocks, to real estate projects (Esport hotel chains, bars, and more). Drake, Michael Jordan, and Shaq are just a few of the people who have invested into esports. You also have sporting leagues such as Formula 1 and the Premier League investing into esport players and building their own esport leagues. Esport tournaments can bring in more viewers than the NBA finals. This is why big broadcasting deals are being made, and more people and companies (such as the New York Yankees) are investing into Esports.
A lot of people have been inspired by Elon Musk and SpaceX. People have said that after seeing the Falcon 9 rocket landings, they were inspired to enter the space industry. This video goes over the number of space businesses, new tech, and new industries being launched into space. You have the Starlink and Dear Moon ventures from SpaceX. There are human organ printing space factories, and space architectural firms. The space shuttle launch company by Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon. And even a Youtuber who is building working model replicas of SpaceX rockets (they launch, and are almost able to land). Here are the futuristic and sci-fi companies, projects, and space business ideas highlighted in this video: Spaceport of America in New Mexico, Dear Moon by SpaceX, Mars missions by SpaceX, architectural firm AI Space Factory, Rocket Lab, Relativity Space who are printing their own space rockets, Techshot who are looking to 3D print human organs, Made in Space and Zblan, NASA and the ISS, Axiom Space Station, Starlink satellite internet by SpaceX, Bill Nye the Science guy and The Planetary Society (Lightsail), and BPS Space.
Robert Downey Junior (aka Iron Man) is launching the Footprint Coalition, to fight the wide spread problem of plastic pollution. In this mini documentary, we take a look at the Iron Man like technology and innovation being used today to fight plastic pollution and global warming. Solutions for plastic waste and pollution include x-ray vision recycling, using blockchain technology to turn plastic into a currency, drones being used to monitor beaches, nanotechnology, using the power of the ocean and waves, and DIY backyard recycling. Businesses and organizations profiled in this video include: The Footprint Coalition, Plastic Bank, Ellipsis Environmental (formerly Plastic Tide), The Ocean Cleanup, and Precious Plastics.
More investments and new food technology are being developed, that will have robots taking over commercial kitchens, and food businesses. This video takes a look at the different ways robots and artificial intelligence are being used to cook for us, today and in the future. There is also the new business idea of ghost kitchens, kitchens that are set up just to make online food deliveries. Companies highlighted in this future of food documentary video: Spyce Restaurant, Creator Restaurant, Miso Robotics and CaliBurger with the Flippy cooking assistant, Amazon and their Alexa enabled kitchen devices, the Sally salad vending machine by Chowbotics, Zume Pizza and their pizza making robot, ghost kitchens along with the online food delivery business industry and Uber Eats and Deliveroo.

Somewhere in San Francisco is a hidden workshop of wonder. A place where iconic characters, creatures, and props from cult favorite movies are pulled from the screen into reality. Adam Savage’s Cave is the Mythbusters host’s personal sanctum, the place he goes not only to build his painstaking creations but where he displays a lifetime’s collection of oddities, eclectic memorabilia, and film props. It’s the well that’s at once the source of Adam’s inspiration and a reflection of his obsessions. And Tested.com is pleased to invite you in for an exclusive tour of Adam Savage’s workshop.
What if we told you that there’s new emerging science that says that you can be a hero? We’ve been told that positive thinking can change us. But, you can probably change your life a whole lot more, by simply acting. Acting happier. Acting more confident. Acting brave. And even acting in love. Just like a movie star. Because it might not be what you think, it’s how you act.

For the first time in history, the secrets of the living brain are being revealed by a battery of high-tech brain scans devised by physicists. Now what was once solely the province of science fiction has become a startling reality. Recording memories, telepathy, videotaping our dreams, mind control, avatars, and telekinesis are not only possible; they already exist.
The Future of the Mind gives us an authoritative and compelling look at the astonishing research being done in top laboratories around the world – all based on the latest advancements in neuroscience and physics. One day we might have a “smart pill” that can enhance our cognition; be able to upload our brain to a computer, neuron for neuron; send thoughts and emotions around the world on a “brain-net”; control computers and robots with our mind; push the very limits of immortality; and perhaps even send our consciousness across the universe.
Psychologist Charles Fernyhough reveals how our inner voices play a vital part in thinking through stories of everyone from children to people who hear voices. Charles’ book “The Voices Within: The History and Science of How We Talk to Ourselves” is available to purchase now – https://geni.us/NvmWT Close your eyes and have a thought. Now what was it like to think that thought? What we usually call ‘thinking’ is often a kind of speaking by, and a listening to, the multiple voices of our consciousness. Psychologist and writer Charles Fernyhough tells stories of everyone from children to people who hear voices and reveals how our inner voices play a vital part in our thinking. Charles Fernyhough is a Professor in the Department of Psychology, Durham University. His background is in developmental psychology, with a particular focus on social, emotional and cognitive development. His work has contributed to our understanding of how language and thought are related in child development and beyond and his most recent focus has been on applying mainstream developmental psychology to the study of psychosis.
