Take a trip down espionage history lane with Spycraft: The eight-episode Netflix docuseries starts from the 20th century, looking at how different countries began to utilize (rapidly evolving) tech to spy on each other. One of the episodes shows how the Ruskies spied on the US for three years by secretly attaching a microphone to the US ambassador’s shoe. Other episodes show how spies used poison, beautiful women, and special ops teams in their plans to gather information. In later episodes, Spycraft goes into how modern espionage utilizes drones and hacking to keep an eye on enemies (or supposed friends). The show is fast-paced and intelligent, giving you an overview of the spy industry and the hidden world around us.

The recipe for business success includes a pinch of emotional ingredients: In his new book, Twelve and a Half, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and investor Gary Vaynerchuk argues that there are 12 essential emotional skills that need to be present in a business to accelerate its success. Leaders have often relied on quantifiable hard skills to lead decision making, while ignoring soft skills in their employees such as curiosity and self-awareness. However, Vaynerchuk argues that it's these emotional traits that need to be pulled out of the toolbox in various business situations to assess, negotiate, and determine the path you’ll take. His book teaches you how to foster the 12 skills you need — such as patience, humility, conviction, and ambition— and how to use them in varying mixtures, depending on the situation.
