Are We There Yet?

The press release for my new book (as imagined by Bard).

I was playing with my chat bot this morning and asked it to create a press release for my new book. Below is what popped out. (I’m not sure where my supposed career at Harvard came from, but it looks impressive, doesn’t it?)

My new book will explore the nature of adventure, from a spiritual perspective, so not really a travel book! Anyway, just for fun…
