Well, he published the audio book of it, right? And I think I told Tim, he'll remind me, I think I might have, I think I told Tim about that book, like many, many years ago, and he did the audio book. And It's so good. It's so good. And it just follows the daily routine. It breaks down the daily routine.

It's like two to three to four page chapters on like a hundred some brilliant artists and scientists and creators. And they're just so random how they live.

So I think we need to have like that awareness and that sense of humor and humility about it. And we can get systematic and structured at the same time. I think it's important to hold both of those. I mean, what you just asked, I do believe that that beautiful period when we first wake up. And that dream state is so powerful.

And I think that people, almost all people immediately pick up their phone and start checking messages, which just shuts down one's awareness of what's been happening beneath the surface all night. So I think that that's a real... lost opportunity. I remember when I was 11 years old, I read this, my dad actually gave me this Hemingway essay on his creative process.

And there's one of my favorite, one of the most, sometimes there's like an insanely potent book that's put together. And it's two that come to mind are Lessons of History, which is this short compilation of Will and Ariel Durant, two of the greatest historians who've published tens of thousands of pages, This is a short compilation of a handful of thematic essays.

notebooks, like everything he's written about the creative process and boils it into this like short book on his principles of creativity. Just unbelievable. But before that book came out, I read this piece, this short thing he'd written about the creative process, which was essentially he'd always leave a sentence unwritten.
