New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!
– A Pillow That Actually Allows You To Sleep On Your Back
“The 8 Hour Pillow”: My friend Dr. Peter Martone, who I featured in this Facebook video for a 20-minute discussion of how and why to sleep on your back, has finally launched his own back sleeping pillow! By sleeping on your back with your neck supported correctly you can help offset the damaging effects of texting. prolonged computer work and our forward head posture lifestyles.
Each pillow comes with 5 educational videos explaining how to use it and other sleep enhancing techniques (such as Peter's really useful “remembering” trick to beat insomnia and fall asleep faster). The pillows are now shipping and apparently disappearing quite fast.
The fill is 20% down and 80% duck feathers and the thing feels like a giant soft hug for your neck. It is designed to be used multiple ways to suit your sleeping needs. It comes with 2 separate chambers with zippers so you can add or take out fill to make it your perfect pillow. You can click here and use code: GREENFIELD to get $20 off plus a FREE pillowcase. Pillows are ready to ship now.
– How I Read Books F-A-S-T
Optimize Holiday Sale: A top resource I recommend for reading the world’s best books f-a-s-t is the fantastic app/website called “Optimize.” What is Optimize? It’s simple, really. The good folks at Optimize read every one of the best books (primarily focusing on health, wealth, self-improvement, neuroscience, fitness, business, nutrition, lifestyle and philosophy) and then summarize these books in easy-to-digest, 20 minute audio MP3s or very short 5-6 page PDFs with the biggest ideas, summaries and most important takeaways. In less than 6 months, I easily made it through 400+ books on their site, often while I was hoisting dumbbells, walking in the sunshine, or driving in my car. So you get more wisdom in less time (here's a recent overview of the 28 best books I consumed this year). Optimize is only about 10 bucks a month, but the folks at Optimize are now knocking 25% off between now and New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2018, on their monthly, annual or lifetime membership if you click here and use code: BEN25. Enjoy!
