Passion Struck with John R. Miles
Gretchen Rubin on the Secrets of Adulthood and Happiness | EP 604

I did all the research into the El Euclidean mysteries, but because it's a mystery, there's a lot that they don't know. But I did find one of my very favorite phrases of all time, which is mystical pigs. Mystical pigs played a very important role in the El Euclidean mysteries. It feels like you need to write a novel just around that.

Oh, well, who said this? I forget who said it, but somebody said... Okay. Okay. The true test of a vocation is a love of the drudgery involved. So I would say I think about 15% is something where I'm like, I really have to push myself to do it. Like scheduling podcast recordings is something I do not like to do.

And I cannot seem to delegate it because there's too many factors that by the time I explain the factors, it takes just as long to just do it. But most of it, most of it I kind of do like, or I want control of it so badly that I would never give it up. For instance, this cover was very, very hard. I do not like covers.

You know, if you, I always thought, oh, that would be so fun, but I don't know how to express myself visually when it comes to words. I know exactly how to make words better. I know how to express what I want, but I don't know how to do that visually. And you're working with a team. You don't want to seem impossible to please, and yet it matters tremendously.

I mean, how many people here have bought a book simply because you like the cover? I do this constantly. And yet I would never say like, oh, somebody else, you're better off, you just pick the cover. Because no, even though I don't enjoy the process because it's so high stakes and I feel like I don't really know, I'm not very good at playing my part, I still feel like it's really important.
