Growth Mindset Psychology: The Science of Self-Improvement24 Maj 2024

How to Break out of a Slump & Live More Adventurously w/ Alastair Humphreys [Nat Geo Adventurer Of The Year]

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. Perhaps his greatest success, however, is pioneering the concept of micro-adventures, encouraging anyone to experience the outdoors and thrillseeking within an hour of their doorstep.
