About this episode

What it's about

Eleven weeks of *why*. One episode of *what to do tomorrow morning*. David and Emme close the season with four small, specific actions drawn from Bandura's four sources of self-efficacy — none of them a 47-step plan, all of them buildable today. Information paralysis ends here. Season finale.
