The "navigate the car" thing is the most concrete example. "Instead of saying, 'Brian, that's the exit to the mall,' when he's going to overshoot, you're supposed to be silent, surrendering to where he thinks the mall is. You're supposed to let him get further and further lost and frustrated and angry rather than telling him where the exit is and getting to your destination.

Since you don't ever speak your mind, he's miraculously supposed to come around and give you everything you want. I've no idea how that's supposed to work, but Doyle insists it's the inevitable fruit of this deception.
