Global community for nature-based integration\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For the past year, I\u2019ve been a participant of ACER Integration<\/a> \u2014 an online community and framework created by clinical psychologist Dr Rosalind Watts<\/a>. The program follows a year-long, nature-based integration cycle. Every new month gives me access to guided visualizations, live sharing circles via Zoom, breathwork sessions and Q&As with some of the most prominent minds and voices in the psychedelic space. The community is not a substitute for therapy and it does not encourage psychedelic use \u2014 only a deeper connection to nature, ourselves and each other. ACER stands for Accept, Connect, Embody and Relate. For me it\u2019s been an invaluable space to integrate life experiences alongside deeply compassionate, grounded and like-minded people from all over the world. And as I wrap up my 13-month cycle, I highly recommend anyone feeling called to connect with a community like this to check out the info pack<\/a> and apply. ACER opens up to new members in October and applications are now being accepted. If you do apply, be sure to mention Recomendo in your application. ACER will offer a discount to Recomendo readers who are accepted into the program. \u2014 CD <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advanced search tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Until AI takes over search, finding exactly what you are looking for online will greatly benefit from advanced search techniques. This long document, Gwern\u2019s Internet Search Tips<\/a>, catalogs a hundred ways to increase the success rate of your googling. It is especially aimed at finding scholarly and expert sources.  I learned dozens of tricks. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Product docu-dramas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An emerging genre of lightly fictionalized dramas tell the true, improbable stories of how famous products came to be. Each legendary thing seems like a miraculous accident. Here are three product dramas that are extraordinarily entertaining, and mostly true to life. Tetris<\/a> (Apple+) is the unlikely cloak\u2013n-dagger tale of the Soviet KGB\u2019s pursuit of this wayward video game\u2019s escape to world domination. The Social Network<\/a> (on Amazon or any streaming service, $4) is an oldie about Facebook that is still relevant and fascinating given its current return to grace. And the most recent is Air<\/a> (Amazon Prime), the astounding story of how Air Jordan sneakers became the unlikely multi-billion dollar megahit they are. All have great casts and great scripting, but are \u201ctrue stories\u201d at the core. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One minute daily question<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I try to limit my subscriptions to daily newsletters, but the 1-min Daily Question newsletter<\/a> cannot be snoozed or ignored. Each question is a prompt to reflect on my life and goals (like what patterns am I stuck in?<\/em> or what does success look like for me?<\/em>). Every email redirects me to a 60-second timer<\/a> that acts as a timeout from the busyness in my head. It’s a short respite, but its peaceful and I appreciate the gift of clarity. \u2014 CD <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knee pillow<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My wife has been using a\u00a0Memory Foam Knee Pillow<\/a>\u00a0for years. It\u2019s much smaller than a regular pillow and can be used between your knees or to prop up one leg. As a side-sleeper, it keeps her spine and hips aligned, and it helps her sleep more comfortably. I bought one a couple of weeks ago, and I\u2019m getting the same benefits. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n
