i think he wrote to benjamin franklin for advice? i forget. but either way there is a ben franklin method (pros/cons). it's not a very good one.

so that chapter explains how priestley wrote his contract to maximize the positives and minimize risk ha ha ha. it explains the mistakes of the pro/con method and their stuff.

anyway. i can't recommend this book enough. buy it and start it tonight. it is not a very long read. can be tiresome with case studies but okay, better to have cases than speculation. all kinds of cases--jobs, business deals, cancer treatments, homeless reduction programs, etc etc.

there is an audiobook version that is very good and it's the one we originally consumed during a long business trip. listen/pause/discuss. listen/pause/discuss. etc. there are visual downloadables for this so you don't miss out.

it's been invaluable to my family, and we go back to it often whenever there's something big that needs sorting.

i'll say no more but if you can squeeze the time (you can) it's 1000x worth it. k. i gtg as well. cya.

ps- dont let short term emotion fuck you

I tried to follow your advices and now I'm 100% confident the decision that I've made.

nice to know you have so many months to prepare. wow, in europa jobs move slowly! which i suppose is nice: more of a long-term view than here.

as for 100% remember the “prepare to be wrong” :D nothing like a good hedge against risk, right? set up your tripwires and what not. the brown m&m...

anyway, if i may say, the gratitude runs both ways. your histamine disclosures have been most helpful over here. set us on a path of research and consultations and changes that have been eye opening and so useful. it’s a long story, but it was the missing link that explains a lot...

alright! best wishes brother! enjoy your adventure.
