00:36:58.440I wanted to say, though, I actually think this book is really important for parents.
00:37:03.280Parents who want to raise happy, successful children.
00:37:08.240And part of the reason I loved it is because, obviously, I'm a new dad.
00:37:11.400And you have these toolbox sections where you give a parent's little toolbox tips on advice that you have on how to raise successful, happy children.
00:37:25.340And it was cool because when I was reading this book, I think Esme had just been born.
00:37:30.560And so I was reading some of it as a new father because I have my intuitive beliefs of what I think a good parent looks like.
00:37:37.560But I took a lot of the stuff you wrote in your toolbox and I'm going to use it for how I raise Esme because, you know, I don't think we turned out horrible.
00:37:47.640I mean, that's like definitely subjective.
00:48:54.180But we didn't, parenting was hard in our day, too.
00:48:56.700I know, I know, I know, but as technology
00:49:00.500and the progression of humanity grows more and more,
00:49:04.720life is becoming more and more convenient for people.
00:49:07.160It seems like like what is what is the easiest way to go about living that makes me more comfortable because there's more convenience and for adults, whereas parenting, parenting is still extremely hard.
00:49:18.020It's probably a little easier now because you can't just had hand your kid an iPad and, you know, he'll be he or she will be glued for like two hours because they'll just be getting constant dopamine spikes from Cocomelon every three seconds versus handing them crayons at a table and hoping it lasts.
00:49:32.180No, but hold on, but you're saying that that's an option, but you know that it's horrible.
