We've got more information than ever before. Yet despite that, our physical health is getting worse, our mental health is getting worse. So the case I make in this new book, Mel, is that we don't need more external knowledge necessarily. We need more internal knowledge, more self-awareness, more insights.

It's such a key point, Mel. People will often ask me, well, are each of those three Fs as important as the other? No, they're not. The most important F is the first F, feel. What am I feeling? I would say that's 80 to 90% of it. When you break the loop of this patterning of sofa, I want some ice cream, open the freezer, spoon in my mouth, right? We've all been there, Mel, right?
