Cannot speak for your situation, but I did find the book not so actionable. Was hoping for more tools or guidance

Mating in captivity by Esther Perel. It touches on how comfort and safety in a relationship can pose a challenge on sexual desire and excitement as an increase in one can decrease the other. It provides realizations and examples that make you think and see your relationship in a different way. It also touches on how societal norms and views can conflict with sexual desires and limit us in expressing ourselves

“Stress is an exception”
These days many of us are too stressed for hours, days or weeks on end. Whereas back in our forest days you’d be stressed once in a while when you’d suddenly see that tiger. Our bodies are made for short durations of stress, not prolonged periods.
So when I notice I am stressed or feel tense, I ask myself: “Is this an exceptional moment to be stressed?” If no, I try to take a step back and evaluate why where the stress is coming from, what would happen if I ignore the situation or put less effort into it? Then hopefully feel less stressed.

We had a week long of daily security related challenges ranging from easy to hard for everyone to participate. From simple sql injection and password encoding to buffer overflows. Some were coding exercises, others were open ended questions, googling encouraged. Every challenge gave a number of points and at the end of the week there would be some prices for the winners.
A lot of people participated and personally I learned a lot and had fun doing it.
May require some effort to set up, but then again these may already exist online.

I don't think so, those first generation iPhones are not water-proof
