Well, I love the simplicity of the name because wise ties into wisdom and effort to me ties into energy and how we use our energy.

So wisdom and energy combined really cool underlying aspect to the book.

Well, I moved to Tampa from Austin, Texas.

And when I lived in Austin, we had this really incredible view behind our house.

And so we decided to put in this huge picture window so that it was the main thing that we looked out at from the kitchen.

And it had an unfortunate side effect to it.

And that is birds would see it and think that they could fly through it.

And so we suddenly had birds hitting this window, unfortunately, but they wouldn't hit it just once.

They kept repeating that.

And I bring this up because in your introduction of the book, you tell a similar story of how you live on the coast, on the West Coast, and you leave your door open.

Sometimes birds get stuck in your house.

and maybe I'll let you take it from there.
