Co-Host Warwick Cairns (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cairns) Well, you've heard me talk about how we as men tend to slip into the 'suburban sleepwalk' in this life. Everything is safe, sanitized and dinner comes from the supermarket or a fast-food joint. So along comes Warwick Cairns, author of a book called How To Live Dangerously, which exhorts us as men get back to our roots. That is, a life with a whole lot more danger in it.

Co-Host Warwick Cairns (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/cairns) Well, you've heard me talk about how we as men tend to slip into the 'suburban sleepwalk' in this life. Everything is safe, sanitized and dinner comes from the supermarket or a fast-food joint. So along comes Warwick Cairns, author of a book called How To Live Dangerously, which exhorts us as men get back to our roots. That is, a life with a whole lot more danger in it. This is, of course, a wildly controversial stance in today's Western world. But our masculine nature craves it, and Warwick is still here to tell the story, so clearly what he talks about can be satisfied in us without killing ourselves over it. To start things off, Warwick wastes no time getting to how so much of what we think is 'dangerous' is actually relatively safe, while plenty of what we think is safe is actually pretty hazardous. What is it that distorts so many people's perceptions in this regard? And how has danger itself evolved within very recent human history? Of course, that has to affect our perception of it in principle as well. I mean, has post-modernity actually created its own form of 'danger' even as the world at large has gotten so much safer? All of that said, Warwick's book is on how to bring MORE danger into our lives. What does that mean? What is it he is actually advocating? And what is he personally doing that's so dangerous at age 62...and at what price? On the other hand, what's up with those guys who live incredibly dangerously and still somehow die of old age? And what's the true 'low hanging fruit' for people who want to start living dangerously? And last, but certainly not least, how dangerous is it really to approach women and ask them out?
