Welcome to my daily learning journal. Here is today’s list:
1. Ted Talk – George Blair-West: 3 ways to build a happy marriage and avoid divorce. “Choosing to marry and share your life with someone is one of the most important decisions you can make in life.

4. John C. Bogle – The Little Book of Common Sense Investing: The Only Way to Guarantee Your Fair Share of Stock Market Returns (Little Books, Big Profits). Chapter 8.
I picked up this 2007 edition for $1 at the Cherry Hill Public Library book sale a few years ago. One of the best investments in the world. Timeless pearls by Jack Bogle, the founder of Vanguard.
I’m also a huge fan of bogleheads.org, an investing advice forum. You can post questions anonymously and responses are superb.
5. Episode 9: The Architecture of Music with Maestro Alexander Shelley — Shane Parrish writes, “In this incredible episode, I’m joined by Maestro Alexander Shelley. We dive deep into the architecture of music, the necessity of arts, and what makes Beethoven’s 5th Symphony so popular.”
Listening to Beethoven’s 5th Symphony on Pandora as I complete today’s blog. Love this episode. Music is poetry.
