Examples are so powerful. I remember your "I'll have a steak, I want to treat myself today" as an example of justifying small things and use it all the time. Lots of examples from Improv Obsession podcast (and now Yes, Also) come to mind all the time when I need a specific one.
I've been calling your ‘You wanted to see me?’ exercise ‘Farmer’ for ages because of your example

It's a streamlined, fun exercise to work on logical-absurd character dynamics.
With examples in books I always long for having been there.

Record a bunch of shows. Write a book (or substack subscription) with links to videos of the lessons those scenes were good examples of.
Really enjoyed this post! Thanks for the book recommendations 😊
