• Lessons from Blank
• 1. Always use screens.

• ADVICE TO THE READER (US)
• We must learn to embrace those moments of
  absolute confusion and mental panic. We must
  trust ourselves to go blank at these critical
  junctures in our life and allow our better
  unknown selves to leap into the void and act
  instinctively, even if it means getting hurt.

Conduct That Funky Music

• A close friend who studied with Indian holy men
  said you can achieve this same power through the
  mastery of Zen Buddhism, transcendental
  meditation, and bikram yoga.
• But why bother, I asked him when you can do
  the same thing by spending 15 minutes with my
  book?
• He burst into tears realizing that he had wasted
  nine precious years of his life.
