More than just a need to get outside, the search for the unknown is a primal urge that has shaped the history of our species and continues to mold our behavior in ways we are only beginning to understand. In fact, the latest neuroscience suggests that exploration in any form-whether it's trying a new restaurant, changing careers, or deciding to run a marathon-is an essential ingredient of human life. Exploration, it turns out, isn't merely a hobby-it's our story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this much-anticipated follow-up to his \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestseller \u003cem\u003eEndure\u003c\/em\u003e, Alex Hutchinson refutes the myth that, in our fully mapped digital world, the age of exploration is dead. Instead, the itch to discover new things persists in all of us, expressed not just on the slopes of Everest but in the ways we work, play, and live. From paddling the lost rivers of the northern Canadian wilderness to the ocean-spanning voyages of the Polynesians to the search for next-generation quantum computers, \u003cem\u003eThe Explorer's Gene\u003c\/em\u003e combines riveting stories of exploration with cutting-edge insights from behavioral psychology and neuroscience, making a powerful case that our lives are better-more productive, more meaningful, and more fun-when we break our habits and chart a new path. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlex Hutchinson\u003c\/strong\u003e is the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author of \u003cem\u003eEndure\u003c\/em\u003e, a longtime columnist for \u003cem\u003eOutside\u003c\/em\u003e covering the science of endurance, and a National Magazine Award-winning journalist who has contributed to the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e, and other publications.
