So The alternative is what we are doing which is micro steps too small to fail. We'll never tell people meditate for twenty minutes in the morning. No. We say when you wake up in the morning, can you take sixty seconds before you go to your phone to breathe consciously? Or to remind yourself what you are grateful for, or to set your intention for the day. The point is can you break it down into the smallest possible component and what happens people build a sense of success?”

If you're in a company culture that encourages giving, I mean at Thrive, we have giving days, we match donations, and this creates a kind of giving culture which makes it more likely that people working in that company are going to feel fulfilled because fulfillment is not just a function of your job.

“One of the reasons is that women internalize mistakes more. What I said about myself is true about many successful women. We are ruminators. We tend to Go over and over in our minds any mistake we made and men have a much easier time just moving on. They have a much easier time being Roger Federer. So that's a big problem. The other is this perfectionism And the fact that they still have a larger percentage of work at home and even if They get a lot of help from their partner, the mind share. You know, they still are thinking, oh, my partner is picking up the child for the doctor's appointment, but I still think about it.”

“The first women's revolution was about giving us the vote. The second women's revolution was about equal pay and equal opportunities. The third women's revolution was was about Making it clear that we can succeed without burning out, that we don't have to sacrifice our well being, our relationships on the altar of success, and I believe that as we are doing it now, we're in the middle of it, and a lot of men are a big part of it. That it's good for everybody. I mean, look at the number of men who end up with heart attacks, high cholesterol, hypertension, all because they think that's the only way to succeed.”

But I think a lot of women too, who want to make sure they're not seen as being on the mummy track or not being as passionate or intense about their work have bought it with a delusion, but what I found very interesting is to try and And see what was the beginning of that delusion? And I traced it back to the first industrial revolution. When people started revering machines and after machines software, and what is the What is basically the essence of machines and software? No downtime. You know, you know, you have sales force bringing out a new piece of software and saying 99.999999% uptime. Well, the human operating system is different.

“Absolutely, I think the biggest success of the Havington Post actually happened after that. And let me just make that very clear, Stephen. Taking care of yourself doesn't mean you don't work with intensity. In fact, when we launch thrive, we We're interviewing people to hire. We realized early on that there are people who thought oh they could go work for Thrive and it would be like chilling under the mango tree. So had to explain to them no no we're a very ambitious high charging company, and if you want to chill under the mango tree, that's not a good place to be. And we tell everybody there will be times when you have to deliver a product or meet a deadline and you may have to work late or work a weekend. But what we do then, we give people thrive time immediately after. Like if you've played”

“So I literally walk up that morning, went to CNN to do a news hit, came back and sat at my desk, felt called, got up to go get a sweater, and collapsed, and hit my head on my desk, broke my cheekbone, and and came to In a little pool of blood, and that was the beginning of a journey of going from doctor to doctor, from echocardiogram to MRI to find out what was wrong with me because literally people thought that she had a heart defect, a brain tumor. Why did she just collapse? And then I was literally diagnosed with burnout. Now two thousand seven burnout was not a term much in use.

Say that this epidemic of burnout that I started seeing was everywhere was completely unnecessary, it was unnecessary suffering.”

“Maybe stay up all day and night, sleep with my phone in case something happens in the middle of the night. And all the science now makes it very clear that when we are depleted we are going to make bad decisions. It's so funny because one night I was at a dinner and Jeff Bezos that was when I was writing my book on sleep and so I was asking everybody about their sleep habits. So asking what his sleep habits and he said I sleep eight hours a night. I said you do. Tell me about it. Why? He said because I'm judged by the quality of my decisions, not the quantity of my decisions. And I have noticed the difference because he's very data driven. When I have six hours of sleep, my decisions are not as good.”

I think the mistake often is you build something successful and you stay there and we never stayed there. Like we launched with politics and news. But very quickly we had a dozen other verticals. Including sleep, we had a vertical on sleep, we had lifestyle verticals, we had sports verticals, we had gay gay vertical. So we kept expanding. Then we build our journalism operation. We won a Pulitzer, we launched in eighteen countries, so it was a constant expansion. What happened is that again you know that Clay Christian book The Innovator's Dilemma”

Again, going back to your book, we want to be comfortable all the time, so what's wrong with feeling bad occasionally? I love the way children are.

They cry they rage, and two minutes later you look at them and it's over. I don't believe in growing a thick skin I want to be permeable something bad happened, something upsetting happens, experience it, feel it, don't do what I call a spiritual bypass.

And we promise that we're going to treat it with respect. We had moderators from the beginning so that people couldn't just trash each other. What happened with the internet down the road? And so when we launched day one we had Larry David and Ellen DeGenerous and Nora Efron and Walter Cronkite who had like an incredible lineup of people on the news of the day, on things they cared about, and And also on the same day we had a review which was so devastating I learnt it by heart.

You know, the connection between forgiveness and our physical and mental health is enormous And that's why I am so much against cancel culture. Because it's a culture that gives up on forgiveness, on redemption, on giving people a chance to learn from mistakes and evolve and grow, which is after all what life is about.”

“Yes, and our marriage lasted for eleven years. Nora Efron, you know, who was this wonderful writer who was also an editor at the Havingdon Post, she used to say, marriage comes and goes, but divorce is forever. And what she meant by that is that if you have children, their relationship never ends because you are still parenting together. Our marriage didn't work, but we have a great divorce. Like we go on vacation together. We are really good friends, we are close as a family. So I think this is kind of really important, given that 50% of marriages end in divorce. And the hardest thing is What happens to the children? And so anything we can do.”
