Happily ever after isn’t guaranteed, and closure’s often elusive. True in movies, true in life. Some of us are more comfortable with ambiguity than others, and that’s why hijinks ensue in this edition of Doing What Works. Can’t say more without spoiling the ending!

Here are your show notes…

Beautiful Country is a beautiful book with a beautiful ending.

Cheryl Strayed’s Wild became a movie I ruined by knowing too much about how it was made.  

Nothing could spoil Friday Night Lights for me; no one spoiled Hamilton for Katie.

The Mary Tyler Moore Show had a perfect ending, as did Staying the Course and Left for Dead.  

Steven Pressfield has become a cheerleader for creative types.
