So I would like to propose that we make a change.

Because if we are ever going to succeed in beating back busyness once and for all, first of all, we have to get real and acknowledge what is actually behind some of the busyness that is filling our days.

We have to really get honest about what it is that's motivating us so that we can make a different choice, because it is about our choice.

We need to recognize that real freedom is about creating the space so that we can breathe, the space so that we can think.

Ultimately, real freedom is about choosing how and with whom we want to be spending our time.

Thank you.

There is an argument that knowledge is power, and many families would like to know everything, whether it's treatable or not.

Yes, I am, Nathan.

My main focus right now is continuing to promote my book, Stand Out, which came out in April.

The book launch process is the most intense in the first couple of months after it comes out, but it's a little bit never-ending.

Six months later, I'm still trudging around.

In about a half an hour, I'm going to be catching a flight to Toronto to go give a lecture at the University of Toronto and just continue plugging it and getting the word out.

They're mostly true.

These days, there's actually a lot less travel because publishers have become loath to pay for book tours.

So largely, if you are going to have a book tour, you need to pay for it yourself.

I'm actually really fortunate because I was able to be rather persuasive

and convinced my publisher to foot the bill for mine.

But you have to show them that you have a really good plan to do it.

These days, actually, the preferred method of book tours is the virtual book tour and appearing on podcasts like this one.

So I've tried to have a complimentary strategy.
