The idea that if I watch enough mysteries I will solve everything. Not the problems on the shows -- murders and robberies and things going bump in the night -- but the problems off the shows. How to make enough time out of not enough time. Alchemy, I guess. How to say the right thing and do the right things. How to show you love someone. How to avoid being terrible. How to be kind when you don't feel kind. How to be in all places. How to get passports against the odds. How to conquer time zones. How to have enough space. How to be close enough. How to figure out what to do with all the empty time. How to have a balanced diet. How to exercise enough. How to attract the right kind of attention. How to be confident but not too cocky. How to make more money. How to know what you're worth. How to get what you deserve. How to stop your foot from falling off. How to stop crying. How to be more transparent. How to be less transparent. How to be a problem solver. How to imagine the best instead of the worst. How to cook something delicious even if you have the wrong ingredients. How to write a book someone would actually want to read.
How to sleep enough. How not to sleep too much. How to make the most. How to open up. How to keep it together. How to imagine any relationship can ever work.
