But again, we are looking to...

we're looking to help people like get away from the, uh, the immediate distraction.

And so I think there's a bit of a meeting people where they are.

And actually I think it works.

So you can overanalyze this until the cows come home.

Some people like, well, there's a Nokia in there.

So is that a screen?

And like, should that really be allowed?

And it's like, having done this ourselves and having had 15,000 guests come through now, like profound things happen when they do this and actually, uh,

having a book in there, having some books in there, having some music to listen to seems to enhance the experience.

It doesn't seem to make them come out as overstimulated as when they come in.

Because if you think about what's actually happening when you're spending an hour on your phone versus reading a book, reading a book, you're sitting with one thing, you're sitting with one story.

And there's something very, I actually think reading is a hugely underrated thing.

It has an amazing effect on us.

The act of just sitting with a book and it requires this concentration and really immerses you in the stories.

I think it's a very calming thing to do.

Scrolling through social media or WhatsApp or whatever, opposite effect.

If you're scrolling through Instagram and you're getting WhatsApps coming through and that is just like bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.

They pulled in a hundred different directions.
