What I learned in the news today
- Geert Noels: "Meer dan 50% van de production die in Walmart liggen, komen uit China" - we better be prepared for another global trade war and economical downswing.
- Our politicians need to be better trained in "politicising" their body language: some advise here - https://www.nbcnews.com/better/business/how-be-more-effective-communicator-according-former-secret-service-agent-ncna876611
- The one who really screwed it up was the Brett during his hearing in the Senate Commission last week - have a look at this article - https://www.bodylanguagesuccess.com/2018/10/body-language-analysis-no-4348.html - the detailed analysis give a damning verdict: his verbal and non-verbal comms are not in synch, so one should give preference to the non-verbal indicators.... Curious to see where this is leading.
Reading: Sapiens, Home Deus and 21 lessons for the 21st Century by Harari (all merit a ***** rating)
Viewing: Ozark season 2, Fury and Better Call Saul
Listening to: de humorradio in streaming, soundtrack of Interstellar
Thinking: John Wick is man of focus, commitment and sheer fucking will...
Travelling: it's been a rough 6 months with Brasilia, Toronto (twice), Algonquin Park, Stockholm, Geneva, Vienna and of course every week Paris. Upcoming is Marseille and Thailand!
