This July I'm writing a book called "Symbiocene: Visions of A New Earth" about how climate change, crypto & AI will usher in a new era of planetary flourishing.
Join me on this adventure as I share my journey to envision a regenerative future.
#30DBC DAY 1 👇
🧵🪡
1/
Today marks the first day of a 30-day book challenge alongside a community of writers led by @kellycwilde who wrote her book in a week-long sprint.
This is the stack of books I've been reading over the last nine months, with some new additions for the latest adventure!

To kick off the sprint, I booked myself a week-long nature hideaway 5-mins from a local beach here in Portugal, filled my fridge with organic food and cupboard with speciality coffee.
I laid out my week's microdose of mushrooms and got my daily workout routine in place.
3/
I started my morning with hot water, lemon and celtic sea salt.
... went for a swim at the beach, did 25-minutes of calisthenics and then made myself a nice breakfast with a washed Ethiopian coffee.
Body. Mind. Heart.
Open.

I reflected upon my dreams from last night, which featured a family of wild boars—a recurring animal that has visited my dreams frequently over the last few months.
... cracked open Amitav Ghosh's "The Nutmeg Curse: Parables for A Planet in Crisis" and got to work!
5/
I'm following an inspectional reading process described in Mortimer J. Adler's "How to Read A Book" to get a topographic overview of the book's key ideas, and identify areas to deep dive.
I've written a loose outline that guides my thinking and highlights areas of focus.
6/
Every 25-50 minutes I take a break and do a set of calisthenics to keep my blood flowing and counteract the periods of stillness.
I allow my mind to rest in a state of 'diffuse thinking' where I can begin to synthesize ideas passively before re-engaging in focus.
7/
Breaking up my day with calisthenics, dance and meditation has been a really important part of maintaining balance & maintaining the strength I cultivated during my sabbatical.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's peek into my 30-day journey into the Symbiocene! 🌅
