I get into a lot of stuff in the book

I get into death, consciousness, the meaning of life.

I have a whole chapter on God called The Notorious G.O.D.

I talk about sacredness, looking for the holy in our lives.

Religion, the purpose of religion.

Is religion good or bad?

Why is there religion?

But a lot of it towards the tail end of the book is really about this Star Trek journey.

Because when a lot of people think about spirituality, they think about cultivating serenity and finding and quelling anxiety and finding beauty and some purpose and some connection.

But it's here in the heart.

And that's very important.

And that's where you got to start.

And it's really important.

But we also have a spiritual journey collectively on planet Earth to try and make the world a better place.

And for example, you think about compassion, like that's something we can get better at is compassion, right?

Feeling for other people.
