And next time she's a different florist, right?

Can I ask what's the nationality of your mum?

We're Israeli.

Israeli, okay.

The only reason I ask is because

I put this out on Instagram once before, I think, and it was so controversial.

And so my mom was born and brought up in India.

And she came to the UK in, I think, 1972.

And, you know, I don't want to generalize, but Indian moms can be quite direct, okay?

And this really does speak to this, to the kind of underlying thesis in your book, I think, about beliefs and we're not seeing reality, right?

We're creating reality through our beliefs.

So I remember so clearly coming back from university, I don't know, first year or second year, you know, I'd gone away, I was eating too much, I was drinking too much, you know, I was first time away from home.

And I think at one point mum said in some version of,

you're fat, what are you doing?

Yeah.

Now, depending on your life experience, you will interpret that

potentially differently from how I interpreted it.

I never mind it, right?

Because I've grown up with mum and I like the fact that she's direct and she was right.

And actually her saying that to me helped me realize, you know what, mum's right actually.
