@iamrichroll: Today on the pod, I'm joined by Alex Hutchinson, a journalist, physicist, and bestselling author of “Endure” and “The Explorer’s Gene.” This conversation reveals the biology behind our drive to explore. We track Alex’s journey from elite runner and NSA researcher to becoming the expert on human performance. We examine the “explorer’s gene” that drives us toward uncertainty, while GPS navigation shrinks our brains. Alex reveals the paradox—we find meaning through struggle, not in spite of it. His insights prove exploration isn’t just an activity—it’s fundamental to being human. Note: We’re giving away five signed copies of his transformative new book!
