The School of Greatness
The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

In my first book in the sports gene, I took a trip to Arctic Sweden that I cut from the book.

Right.

And if I had done a little more thing, I mean, the trip was super interesting.

The School of Greatness
The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

I don't, I'm not that I regret having taken it, but.

The School of Greatness
The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

That's a tough thing to cut.

The School of Greatness
The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

And so I think had I put in a little more thought, if I had understood what the book would look like, if I had done the press release, I would have realized that this was not going to fit.

The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

And that'd be so different from what I'm used to too.

The School of Greatness
The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

So I think it would be interesting.

The School of Greatness

Like, cause some, there's some writers that write books.

The School of Greatness
The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

I'm not one of them.

The School of Greatness
The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

Every great person.

The School of Greatness
The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

I mean, certainly resilience, right?

The School of Greatness
The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

Certainly resilience.

The School of Greatness
The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

There's no, no matter how good you are, like everyone faces some setback that I think they would have considered devastating or unimaginable at some point and they have to pick themselves back up.

The School of Greatness
The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

And I think that often is because there's something in the process that they love, not only the goal.

The School of Greatness
The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

So I think that's true about every great person.

The School of Greatness
The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

Because I was going to say curiosity.

The School of Greatness
The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

And I think that's about getting curiosity about yourself, about getting better, about getting others.

The School of Greatness
The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

And I think that's very common.

The School of Greatness
The Science of Doing Less to Achieve More | David Epstein

But I wouldn't say that's true to every great person.
