And what about the alternative? So which of these attachment styles is least likely to have successful relationships?

I was wondering as you were speaking whether if I have more kids, so if I have 10 young kids, is there a higher probability of neglect in those kids? Because if I'm a mother, I just don't have time for all of these kids at the same time. They can't all be on my chest at the same time.

Yeah, it seems to be such an important principle for life generally that everything has a trade-off. And I think, was it Einstein that said, for every force has like an equal and opposite counterforce or something to that effect? And a lot of people are choosing not to make the decision to have kids. I was looking at some stats around this.

The European Union witnessed only 3.8 million births in 2022, nearly half the number recorded six decades ago, marking one of the lowest birth rates in history. France, for example, known for its robust family policies, has seen a decrease from 830,000 children born in 2010 to just 670,000 in 2023, the lowest since World War II.

Because a lot of people are struggling now to have kids, even those that want to. I was looking at some stats and there's a global prevalence of infertility Approximately 18% of adults worldwide, about one in six, experience infertility at some point in their lives. Between 2015 and 2019, about roughly 15% of US women aged 15 to 49 experienced impaired fertility.

And in the UK, research indicates that one in eight women, listening to this now, and one in 10 men aged 16 to 74 have experienced infertility, which is defined as unsuccessfully attempting pregnancy for a year or longer. And I've spoken to a lot of people actually that have tried to have kids.

For years, two years.

When you think about what's contributing to that, how do you diagnose that infertility challenge?

How did you manage? You're a mother of three. You've raised three very wonderful, well-adjusted children. But you're also successful. You have books. You're traveling around the world, you said.
