8 Bees Cannot Fly by Roger McGough Bees cannot f ly, scientists have proved it. It is all to do with wingspan and body weight. Aerodynamically incapable of sustained f light, Bees simply cannot f ly. And yet they do. There’s one there, unaware of its dodgy ratios, A noisy bubble, a helium-filled steamroller. Fat and proud of it, buzzing around the garden As if it were the last day of the spring sales. Trying on all the brightest f lowers, squeezing itself Into frilly numbers three sizes too small. Bees can f ly, there’s no need to prove it. And sting. When stung, do scientists really believe it? READING Into It Jez drinks tea – a lot. And he reads – a lot. His work library has more than 3,000 books in it so each month we bring you more recommended reading material. Grab a cup of tea and get your brain into the book that’s tickling his thalamus this month… Moonwalking With Einstein by Joshua Foer £9.99 ISBN 9780141032139 You might know that I’m training my memory. I’m learning to remember things and build my memory muscle. Can anyone get a perfect memory? Joshua Foer used to be like most of us, forgetting phone numbers and mislaying keys. Then he learnt the art of memory training, and a year later found himself in the finals of the US Memory Championship. He also discovered a truth we often forget: than, even in an age of technology, memory is the key to everything we are. This book is just brilliant. It’s as fascinating as it is insightful. Foer takes us on an astonishing journey through the mind, from ancient memory palace techniques to neuroscience, from the man who can recall nine thousand books to another who constantly forgets who he is. In doing so, Foer shows how we can all improve our memories.

Obviously there are necessary things on the list but as long as there are things that I know will give me a great sense of satisfaction when they’re complete, it drives me forward. Direction and purpose. www.thebehaviourexpert.com www.highperformanceprogramme.com
