When it was with my dad, who I used to care for and see three times a day, I had this big hole in my life. And really, it was only after my dad died that I started to ask myself the big existential questions, Mel, about, well, whose life am I really leading? Is it my life? Is it someone else's life? So I've been on a real... journey since my dad died.

So I've been on a real... journey since my dad died.

I've made changes in how I live my life based on what my dad did. So I'll explain one of the changes is, you know, I rarely saw my dad growing up because he was working, he was providing, right? And I used to say, Mel, I used to say that I think my dad made a mistake. I used to say that I think my dad mistook success for happiness, right?

which is, I think, what many people do in the world these days. But I've actually evolved my view, Mel. I think it's unfair of me to make that judgment on my dad. If my dad was still alive today, the one question I would have for him, and I've thought about this a lot, I would say to dad, dad, was it worth it?

Because he might say to me, Mel, he might say, you know, we might say, oh, he was chronically stressed. He was sleep deprived. That's why he got lupus. He shouldn't have worked so hard. And through one angle, I actually believe that, Mel. But the other way I look at life now is my dad might say, hey, son, yeah, it was worth it.

You know, I came to the UK to give you and your brother a great start in life. And I did that. Look at you now. Look how many people's lives you're impacting around the world. Look how many books you've written. Look how many people listen to your podcast each week. Yeah, I'd do that again. And it's a really different way of looking at life, Mel. Like I've learned over the years...

that you can reframe anything in life, that stress is not just external, it's internal as well. It's how we look at these neutral events, right? I can look at my dad's death in a very negative way, I go, I can't believe my dad's not here. Poor me. I lost my dad at a young age. And I used to do that, Mel, but it doesn't help me.

I've experienced the grief, but now coming up to 11 years on, you know how I see my dad's death now? I see my dad's death as a gift. It's a gift that he gave me. The things I've learned through my dad's death, all the things I share in these books, particularly this new one. Yes, you write a lot about this. I would not have known this stuff had I not gone through the grief of losing my dad.
