Baz Lurmann Wear Sunscreen video If only just to remind me that life is short and to carpe diem.

The Devil in the White City - Erik Larson Not for the serial killing parts. There are a few chapters towards the end of the book that detail the invention and construction of the first Ferris Wheel. Certain passages give me goosebumps. It's a niche topic, but as an engineer and person who loves to work with my hands, reading about the genuine wonder that inventions used to bring to the public is beautiful. It makes me want to create things that people will love.
