Today MINI released a London 2012-themed film which gives a nod to the 1969 classic, the Italian Job. The film, created to tout MINI’s partnership with Team GB and ParalympicsGB, features British sporting legends as they attempt to track down the perpetrator of a night-time heist.

Directed by Phil Churchward, the lead director on BBC’s Top Gear, the film includes stunts performed in red, white and blue London 2012 special edition MINIs alongside some of the country’s most iconic landmarks including the Houses of Parliament and Knightsbridge.

The film features several references to the original movie, including MINIs emerging from the same Park Lane basement as used in the 1969 classic, traversing down the Duke of York Steps off the Mall, and a chase through London’s stunning Leadenhall market.

The film climaxes with a final stunt in which the three MINIs perform a ten metre jump in close formation in front of the Olympic Stadium.

I chose law school because my parents cleaned houses and I wanted them to be proud. Now I’m 38 making $300K a year and I hate every single morning, but I can’t tell anyone because complaining about a successful life you hate sounds like privilege, not pain

Behavioral scientists found that the improvement strategy with the highest long-term success rate isn’t goal-setting or habit-stacking or accountability — it’s environmental design, the practice of making the default option the one you want to choose, which removes willpower from the equation entirely

Psychology says the reason generational arguments feel so personal is that they aren’t really about economics or housing or work ethic. They’re about whether your suffering counted, and no one stays calm when someone implies the answer is no.

I’m 73 and I slept badly for a decade before I understood that the problem wasn’t my sleep — it was everything I was bringing to the bed with me, the unresolved conversations, the accumulated worries I’d been too busy to feel during the day, the low-grade anxiety about everything and nothing that only found its full voice in the dark, and the sleep got better when I stopped treating it as a separate problem and started treating it as information
