Any tips for keeping cool on a hot and sweaty commute?
After a tepid shower (the body generates heat after a cold one), put on good deodorant and loose-fitting clothing to allow air to circulate. Avoid a) dark colours that absorb light and heat, and b) pastel shades that show up perspiration. Instead, go for white, which reflects light. Smartweavestore.com makes no-sweat shirts or try the M&S Dri-Guard range. I wear Uniqlo’s AIRism underwear made from a breathable fabric that wicks away sweat and odour. When the schvitz hits the fan, your fellow commuters will thank you.

Essentialism by Greg McKeown
I’m not one for self-help claptrap but this book, subtitled The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, which I read on holiday last week, is a genuine life-changer. Achieve more by doing less. If you only read one thing this weekend (apart from ES), make it this.
