Unable to look at a screen or even walk down the road, the famously productive entrepreneur then decided to take an unplanned year off. During this time Emma, who is also happy to speak about being child-free by choice, kept a diary and discovered how the most mundane parts of life were not only full of wisdom but also the most fun to write about and formed the basis of this new book.
