May 10

We are in our late 70s and the kid is not yet 21 — I in particular had a hard time accepting what he was trying to tell us about his generation of young men and their alienation.

Then just a few days later came the Scott Galloway interview. I thought it was great, frankly, as it explained so much. Later in the day I watched it again with my husband. Took a few notes, including title of upcoming book.

For those who didn’t watch it all the way through, I recommend going back with an open mind, thinking about some young man you actually know and care about. And think about this stat that Galloway gave: If you visit a morgue with 5 bodies of suicides, 4 of them will be young men.

Now I’m ready to talk to the kid again — only this time I will listen.
