Escaping Social Media and Finding Wisdom at the South Pole

The narrator explains why they started their journey in the South Pole to escape the negativity of social media. They discuss the importance of their voice and influence but acknowledge the negative impact it has on their psyche. They enjoyed reading books about philosophy and consciousness during their time in Antarctica, particularly 'The Wisdom of Insecurity' by Watts with an introduction by Deepak Chopra. The book taught them to focus on the present moment and not worry about the future or the past.
