Something I've been really curious about just in my life generally, because in conversation, I'll often... I said something yesterday when we were at dinner with the team here. I said, I can't remember the exact phrase, but it was words to the effect of, I'm not good at that, or I'm not that type of person, or I'm not organised.

And I stopped myself, and the team will remember, and I go, actually, I shouldn't say that. I should say, right now, what's the word?

Yeah, I think it's so important and we don't think about it. How casually we create an identity for ourself that is like fundamentally limiting or puts us in a box or frames us as having a deficit or captures our whole identity in some kind of deficiency we have often in the case of the habits I'm referring to. Does a similar thing take effect when we're talking about calling someone an addict?

We have a closing tradition on this podcast where the last guest leaves a question for the next, not knowing who they're going to be leaving it for. And the question that's been left for you is, if you could redo or revise one thing that you have successfully accomplished, what would that be and why?

That applies to all of us. I felt like I was being called out.

Thank you so much. I'm so grateful for the work that you're doing because there's so much conflicting information, especially as it relates to alcohol. There's been so much information over the last five, 10 years about the impact alcohol has on us. And I've sat here and had conversations with people who are pretty convinced that even moderate levels of alcohol are good for us.

And having read your work, I'm now clear on what the truth there is. Thank you for doing what you do. It's incredibly important.

And I actually think it's going to become increasingly important, unfortunately, because the way that the world is heading, the loneliness epidemic that we're experiencing and the access we now have to digital devices and to low-cost consumption of addictive substances is terrifying for me. I know you've got a book on the way, which I'm extremely excited about, which is due in autumn. Next autumn?

Okay. And what's that book about? Can you give me a clue?
