Yeah, I mean, exactly back at you. I've been thinking a lot in the days leading up to this interview of like, wow, you know, 2018, things were very different for both of us. And the conversation I had with you in 2018 was such a pleasant surprise. And I'm glad to see that other people thought that your interview abilities were as good as I did.

Yeah, I mean, what's not interesting about explorers? Yeah, so where did this book start? I mean... Since I was like five years old, I loved the idea of pretending that I was an explorer in the woods discovering things. But really, I think this book started actually around the time we spoke, after my last book came out.

I wrote a book about endurance in 2018, and this is not intended as a gratuitous plug for that book, but the book did well, and it was the culmination of about... 10 years, let's say of really focusing in on the science of endurance, really narrowing and narrowing on an ever decreasing specialty. Um, and it did well enough that I was like, Hey, cool.

I can be the science of endurance guy for the rest of my life. I can coast on, you know, I should start working on endure to, you know, revenge of the science of endurance. And there's a lot of reasons that that would have been a really smart thing to do. But I couldn't shake the feeling that it actually didn't sound that interesting to me. And I got interested in my lack of interest.

I wondered, why do I have this pull to do something new? And it connected with a lot of other areas of my life. Why, when I go on vacations, do I like to try and get as far off the beaten track as I can? Why am I always pulled to the unknown? And so I decided, actually, I'd kind of like to know the answers to those questions. Maybe I'll research that and turn that into my next book.

My editor was very reassuring to me. He kept telling me, second books are the hardest. Because this one was a struggle. This one was... it was a year late. Like I'll say that was, I missed the deadline by a year, which is not something that's usual for me. I'm usually a pretty good deadline hitter.
