You know, like I said, we're not going to go bury our heads in the sand, but what are some practical things we all can do to welcome friction in our lives so that we're not drifting down the stream into, as you said, frictionless interchanges?

Yeah.

So I love that handwriting piece, all the research out there.

I mean, again, you're talking to a three decade long educator.

You remember more, you engage more when you write by hand and especially on paper, even more than writing on an iPad.

There's a tactile difference that actually encodes the brain.

Yeah.

How does joy fuel effective struggle? Wow.

So talk to us a little bit about that piece and how you see that playing.

I'll give you two quick stories.

They're in the book.

The first one, I spent 12 years as a teacher doing parent-teacher conferences.

And then when our first child went to kindergarten, it was an all-day kindergarten.

We'd moved to Virginia because I was in Washington, D.C. at the time.

So we didn't know anybody there.

So there we are.

Oh, no.

And so liquid frustration and shame just start running down my cheeks because I'm like, I'm not even good at art anymore.

I can't even cut this.

So I'm sitting at the back of the class, but she sees me at the front of the class, from the front of the class, and she's like, John, if you're going to cry, go out in the hall.

So I get kicked out of art class.

Oh, no.

And I just shrink as small as I can.

go get that book, people, so that you can read that story, The Happiness Crisis.
