And then combining that with my own experience of things. And it's such a, I mean, if we can 100x or 1,000x or 10,000x our learning curve by being able to learn from other things with the same intensity that we can learn from our own things, but people don't harness that.

I think people are really amazingly unreflective about the training process. I told you, I haven't written a book since The Art of Learning, and I'm a couple years into this beautiful process of writing my next book, which is going to be called, I think, The Art of Training, which is really what I've been cultivating for the last decades.

And I'm deconstructing my, you know, my approach to training in mental and physical disciplines. And it's really interesting to go through that process myself. Like, what do I do? What have I done? And what have I helped others do? And it's interesting that the art of learning kind of was a birthing process. That's what it felt like to me. I took notes to it for five years.

And then after 2004 Worlds, I wrote it in nine months. It just kind of came out of me. And I'm kind of in that process now with this. So it feels really organic and intrinsic, the creative process. And I don't know.

It's very interesting when you talk to people who are really playing at elite levels of different fields or who are just below full self-expression or they're just on the edge of virtuosity but not quite there. And you start to deconstruct what they do. There's so much low-hanging fruit that they can do. Why? I don't know. I think in many ways people โ I mean there's lots of reasons.

I think of one thing, people who are very talented in arts don't have to be so deliberate about their training often to reach a certain level. Often people have other people building their training process and they're not reflective about their own training process because they have big teams of coaches who are creating it for them.

People haven't cultivated the art of deconstruction, which is an art that's very important. People haven't cultivated the art of loving training, which is a hugely important meta skill to learn. People haven't taken on all of the skills around physiological triggers, around changing one's physiological state at will. People haven't practiced visualization very intensely. There are all of these...
