I'm not going to...
beat myself up, or I'm not going to beat, you know, Mark 2025 up.
And Mark 2025 did go for it and launched Dot Earth, and the version I launched wasn't right, and I pulled the plug on it.
I'm good with that, you know?
Like, it doesn't have to win...
for me to feel like I'm living a full life, I have to at least know I went for it.
And that's the point of the book of life.
When did you start doing it?
I started doing it in 1994, and I start the book off talking about this, that I had made a series of terrible career decisions, and I was being pushed out of this kind of fledgling venture capital firm, and there was nowhere to go to.
Like, it wasn't like a next...
And so I'd kind of messed up my resume.
I had nothing to lose when I started, a year later, started my first company.
But in 1994, I went to Temple.
I hadn't been to Temple for the Jewish high holidays, Jewish New Year's since I was a kid.
Someone invited me, I was in D.C., and I sat there, didn't understand what anyone was saying or doing, and I just wrote in a notebook about how shitty my life was and all the hopes and dreams that I hadn't pursued.
And the thing that I came back to that I hated most about myself that represented...
just how little control I had over my life was that I smoked cigarettes.
Part of my book of life practice is what can we do this year that would make this a seminal year in our life?
What could the three of us do that you would remember this year for the rest of your life and thank you?
Because so many of our years, I can tell you at age 60 that there are years I can't write anything down for.
