This Week's Favourite Things! July 7th - 13th, 2014

1.  "The Strangest Secret" by Earl Nightingale.  Still smitten with Earl's recordings after finding out about him last week.  This one is great and has a 30 day challenge at the end to be very careful with one's thoughts.



2. Philanthrocapitalism.  What an awesome word.  Stumbled across it reading the wiki entry about Warren Buffet after thinking it'd be fun to be a billionaire.  The article link to philanhtrocapitalism redirects to an entry on Venture Philanthropy.

3.  Robin Hood.  This is an anti-poverty group in New York City that was listed as an example of venture philanthropy.  I like the concept of being hyper efficient with time and resources, the giving of expertise as well as funds, and the transparency about where their budget comes from and where it is going.

4. Sam Roberts Band - "We're All In This Together" especially the  "we are, we are the angry apes..." part
