    A younger female co-worker of mine is kind of stuck in a rut/looking for new ways to bring excitement to her life. I suggested to her a book I've skimmed before This Book Will Change Your Life by Benrik.

    The way I understand it, each day the book gives you a challenge to try something new/take you out of your comfort zone/etc. As a support system to hold her accountable. I agreed to do it with her. One task a day for 365 days. I will document my adventures no matter how trivial/random/mundane ITT. Enjoy.

    I'm interested to read this... Maybe your chronicles will be so interesting you'll be able to make your own book.

    This book also seems eerily similar to the movie "YES Man"

    its weird...I don't have the same reservations about movies or music. Regardless, according to the little info I've read about this book, there are a day or two that involve using the actual physical copy of the book for several tasks.

    I recently purchased this book but have not yet begun it. I feel like the great TMB crash of 2015 has afforded me the opportunity to document my experiences and share them with my TMB brethren without duplicating a thread.

    I will begin on Monday.
