| 0:32.0 | Expect to learn what the most common single mistake that Abby has discovered in her research is, |
| 0:36.8 | how to use logic in romantic decisions without killing the romance, how to speak to your parents |
| 0:41.9 | about care as they get older, the biggest mistakes that all people make when it comes to major |
