Those reviews are how new people find us and join this community.

And third, I have something very special coming for families in your tribe.

On February 24th, 2026, my new children's book, You Matter, Luma, launches.

A story about seeing and being seen.

written to help kids and the adults reading to them, remember they matter exactly as they are.

You can pre-order it now at Barnes & Noble or YouMatterLuma.com.

Every pre-order helps get this message into more small hands and hearts.

Thank you truly.

Now, let's close with one final reflection and a quiet vow.

We covered a lot today.

We've looked straight at the science of Dunbar's number and the sobering warning from Paul Ehrlich that trying to live in groups of billions is quite simply maladaptive.

It's breaking us.

But the remedy isn't a new app.

It isn't a bigger network or a louder voice.

It's a return.

2026 isn't about the billion.

It's about the 150.

This year, your goal isn't to be known by the world.

It's to be deeply known by your tribe and to deeply know them in return.

Let's make 2026 the year that we finally come home to our biological roots.
