They then get into (8:15 ) her book. They discuss (10:00 ) what her definition of a TCK is. They talk about (13:35 ) how important it is to have courage to look at our story as a whole and tell others about it. Mike has her break down a few of his favorite chapters. First, 'the doldrums' (17:20 ) and how frightening it often is for TCK's to NOT experience change. Then they get into (25:05 ) the chameleon skill TCK's are so often accused of having, and its implications (27:45 ) it has on Mike up and coming book. Then, in closing, Mike reflects (33:33 ) on what was discussed and implores other TCK's to go out and read her book. He summarizes (34:55 ) the bonus material coming up from the same interview on a future episode! Stay tuned!
