What does it mean to really endure? What can we glean from the research around endurance and apply it to every day life? How does mindfulness play a role in being able to endure difficult endeavors? And what is the role of curiosity?
This week Dr. L hosts Alex Hutchinson, author of the book Endure: Mind, Body, & the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance, and National Magazine Award-winning journalist whose work appears in Outside, The Globe and Mail, The New York Times, & The New Yorker. They explore many of the findings in Alex's groundbreaking book, as well as the ways in which we can actually train our brain to support our most difficult physical feats.
