Heads up that Emilia Pérez has been widely criticized by the LGBTQ+ community and in Mexico and Latin America - I think it’s important to mention that context if you’re going to recommend it.

I don't think "No spoilers, please" is a great response when a someone asks that you provide context to film that many have reported to be incredibly insensitive to both trans folks and Mexicans.

I really expected better from Recomendo

This issue is packed with some incredible finds. The Many-Worlds Vision book sounds so intriguing—Claudia's dream illustrations must make for such a unique read. I love the idea of the Life in Weeks app, too. It’s such a powerful visual tool for thinking about life in terms of time, and it sounds like a great motivator. As for The Alpinist, I can’t wait to check it out; I’m a sucker for any documentary about extreme human feats. Thanks for sharing these gems! Looking forward to next week's recommendations.

Claudia's book has finally landed! She mentioned the artwork previously and the AI-generated illustrations re remarkable. Just remembering a dream is hard work, and making it visible is quite rewarding!

“you can share your wisdom in your way”, Wow. I needed to hear that. I am almost 80 and get criticized by some older women for being overly frank. Frank is Ok with me. It is specific about an eulogy that I wrote.

i would highly recommend the book Orbital by Samantha Harvey for a brilliant experience of the overview effect.
