One of the things that really did catch me off guard was it was in your book, The Genius

Life, where you talk about this study with the mice and you make the case that travel

is a, has positive relationships with health.

It has health benefits.

Not something I've ever heard anybody say before that travel is good for our health.

Yeah.

Well, I'm glad you brought that up.

That also kind of parlayes into another concept that I've been lately thinking about a lot

for the first time.

Well, first of all, so the study that I talk about in the second book, The Genius Life,

is the fact that they, you know, just how important novel experiences are for the brain.

They will take mice and keep them confined to, you know, like a very limited area.

And they see that they suffer.

They suffer in terms of their bodies and their brains.

And then they let that mouse, or they let intervention mice go and explore what they

call enriched environments.

And they see something like fourfold, you know, like they see like an upregulation in

various indicators of neurogenesis, which is really important.

It's like the creation of new brain cells.

So all that is to say, like, you know, it's important to do novel things.

And as I say this, you know, this is something that I struggle with in my, in my, in my

own life, because I am a creature of habit.
