As always, thanks. Okay. I think it's so easy to think. You everyone thinks the way I do they're just doing all the wrong things. No. They don't think the way you do. They're doing things the way they think is right.

This is better in person. with Steven Dubner and Jennifer Egan. I love to recommend great books to friends, but Some great books are hard to recommend because they're hard to describe. And that's because they are the product of an original mind. Like Jennifer.
