Heading into a new year, behavioral scientist, organizational psychologist, and charter member of the International Positive Psychology Association Dr. Mike Rucker joins us to talk about his brand new book, The Fun Habit.  Fun is essential to the development of the human brain so Mike helps us figure out how we can intentionally insert more fun into our lives. We talk about creating the space for spontaneity, about how rote memories encode in our brain as one singular memory, about why living a tapestry of different experiences leads to a happier life, about why we're meant to get bored, about the benefits of having a memento mori and more!  This episode will help you live a better life this coming year!

Of all those who are releasing podcast episodes on January 1st, this one has to be up there on the motivational scale. Alastair's book The Doorstep Mile is all about getting started. Go after your silly daydream. Make the most of your opportunities instead of looking for excuses. Leave the dishes and go climb a tree with your child. Try to magine being an old man or woman and looking back on your life. Embracing new things and exposing your own personal vulnerabilities is risky, but having an empty life is risky too. Let's be a society that applauds endeavor, that embraces the amateur.  Do this year matter? Then use it.  Alastair Humphreys is a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year as well as an author, photographer, videographer, speaker, and more! This is his third time on our podcast and he says the 1000 Hours Outside community is the most cheerful audience. If you haven't listened yet, make sure you listen to episodes 43 and 84 as well!  Learn more about Alastair here >> https://alastairhumphreys.com/ His YouTube channel is here >> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKsTMxQP7HUCRTuNEEQWLww Learn more about your ad choices.
