Well, if you buy it in the UK, it's called how to... If you buy it in the USA, it's called how to stay in love.
If you buy it in the UK, it's called how to not fuck up your marriage.
Which tells you everything you need to know about the U.S.
And it tells you why I've always enjoyed U.K.
humor better than U.S.
humor from Douglas Adams to The Young Ones.
I was bred on it.
But yeah, there's a chapter in the book called Hit Send Now.
And it's about this, I don't think, particularly radical concept.
But it's about whenever you send an email, if you're sending a heartfelt email, something that you're going to quit a job, or you're going to tell someone something you're afraid to tell them.
I've always said there's something odd about when you hit send.
But it's like, whoop, it's out there now.
Take it back.
And so that inspired the idea to me of one of the things I like about email is I can be very thoughtful in how I compose what I'm saying.
I can rewrite it.
I can leave it in drafts until the next morning and decide, does it still say what I want it to say?
And when I receive an email, I don't have to automatically acknowledge I received it.
I don't have to immediately respond to it.
I can digest what it's saying, and I can give my response the same thought maybe that this person ideally gave to the draft itself.
So I had this idea of why couldn't you in your relationship do something similar to that, work that into a sort of day-to-day or week-to-week practice of really before the fire becomes fire while it's still smoke, just sort of putting things out there.
