Book Preview: #1 I have worked hard to maintain my youthful vigor. I do yoga inversions, take ice baths, and drink Bulletproof coffee daily. I am a devotee of Aldous Huxley, who wrote, The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm.

#2 I had followed my honey-blond friend Molly to a new colorist, and one day I mentioned to him that I planned to tape a five-part video series later in the week to promote my new book. He promised me a natural coloring process that would remove a third of my gray.

#3 I had become too concerned with my appearance, and I had spent too much money on hair dye to continue to be Diane Sawyer. I had to call a truce on my more superficial efforts and focus on downward dog and morning meditations.

#4 The two-space after a period is an example of an outdated habit that many Gen Yers have never learned. We need to retrain our brains to not do this, even if it is extremely difficult.
