You got a next book you're working on now or?
Well, toying with ideas.
So I just finished updating Boundless, which is like the Bible biohacking like six months ago.
And so I just took like a six day retreat.
Nice.
No work, which is awesome.
I already scheduled my next retreat next year.
I haven't talked about this on a podcast before cause I just finished it, but I think I'm going to do this the rest of my life.
I mean, you hear about Bill Gates for better or worse.
I know he's controversial, but he would like disappear.
I think for him it was annual with his big stack of books that he wanted to get through in his journal and stuff that he wanted to work through.
And, um,
I have not taken more than like two days off work since I was 14 years old.
I just love to work.
I love what I do.
And I'm hyper productive and I love it.
But I decided to take a retreat that I finished like 10 days ago and it was just six days at home.
it was some books i wanted to catch up on and my journal and some time with god and in thought and writing both on the computer and in my notebook and uh i sat down with my whole family and i told jess and the boys i'm like you guys you all need to sit down and identify a time next year and this will probably wind up in our constitution right these are the kind of things that wind up in the constitution
and choose like a three to six day time span where you're inaccessible, you're not scheduling anything, you got no phone calls and no work because it was one of the best things I've done for myself.
Wow, really long time.
