300+ Mind Expanding Documentaries. I watch a lot of documentaries.
I think they are incredible tools for learning and increasing our awareness of important issues. The power of an interesting documentary is that it can open our minds to new possibilities and deepen our understanding of the world. On this list of mind expanding documentaries you will find different viewpoints, controversial opinions and even contradictory ideas. Critical thinking is recommended. I'm not a big fan of conspiracy documentaries but I do like films that challenge consensus reality and provoke us to question the everyday ideas, opinions and practices we usually take for granted.

Why No One Should Mess With The Ocean. Once You See This, You Might Not Want To Swim Again. The ocean, while it is quite beautiful and mesmerizing on the surface, is a very large, mysterious, and somewhat frightening place.
It is endless in depth, full of animals you probably have and never will hear about, and worst of all, when frolicking in these waters, you have no idea what is beneath you at all.

Thompson’s Superb Advice on How to Find Your Purpose and Live a Meaningful Life.
As a hopeless lover of both letters and famous advice, I was delighted to discover a letter 20-year-old Hunter S.
Thompson — gonzo journalism godfather, pundit of media politics, dark philosopher — penned to his friend Hume Logan in 1958. Found in Letters of Note: Correspondence Deserving of a Wider Audience (public library | IndieBound) — the aptly titled, superb collection based on Shaun Usher’s indispensable website of the same name — the letter is an exquisite addition to luminaries’ reflections on the meaning of life, speaking to what it really means to find your purpose. Cautious that “all advice can only be a product of the man who gives it” — a caveat other literary legends have stressed with varying degrees of irreverence — Thompson begins with a necessary disclaimer about the very notion of advice-giving: To give advice to a man who asks what to do with his life implies something very close to egomania. Every man is the sum total of his reactions to experience. 2RpXCa9.jpg (843×403) LreCOuB.jpg (621×729) 1rdilaF.jpg (403×403)
