National Geographic Adventurer of the Year uncovers how to culture a mindset for adventure without breaking the bank.
Alastair Humphreys is the author of my all-time favourite books on the topic of adventure and getting more out of life.
He spent 4 years cycling around the world, and has rowed the Atlantic, ran the Marathon de Sables, and walked across India amongst numerous other adventures.

The pillars of a happy life lead to increased satisfaction instead of having opposing priorities fight it out.
By treating work and life as opposing forces we inevitably end up tipping the scales the wrong way. We can't always subscribe time evenly and things get out of whack.
We find there is a much better way by examining the term itself 'Work-life balance".
This episode will not only help you find better harmony with your different life projects but also help your awareness and mindsets to the choices you make.

Is society sick? Are we sick? Let's treat our drive to conform as a disorder we can diagnose and fix.
This episode is a hypothetical deep dive where we treat our obedience to social pressure like other personality disorders.
Main topics:
DSM-5 entry for Social Pressure Personality Disorder (SPPD)
2 contrasting case studies
Crossovers with other disorders
How to manage and break out of your social pressure problems
We develop a set of symptomatic criteria, case studies and a treatment plan to get us to live an independent life on our terms.
Anyone wanting to take charge of their life instead of their life living them should listen.
It's also designed to help you think like a psychologist and imagine how a therapist would approach diagnosing and treating such a disorder if it existed.
