OK, I have THREE things relating to actress Jennifer Garner to start us off on this week’s list:

(1) Her movie “Family Switch” on Netflix is really fun and totally worth a watch.

(2) I absolutely love following her @Jennifer.Garner on Instagram – she is so fun!

(3) She interviewed Adam Grant on his podcast ReThinking about his new book Hidden Potential. It is AWESOME. It was such a humorous conversation to listen to!

When we traveled to see friends in the Netherlands last year, they shared with us a little about how the Dutch show their emotions a lot differently than Americans. I randomly came across this article, which nails it on the head. It’s really quite interesting!

Americans are Fake, and the Dutch are Rude! (By Batja Mesquita – Behavioral Scientist)

Honestly, I would rather be more like the Dutch if the society around me would go that way. LOL

Cut and dry!
