Most humans are underestimating themselves. This goes through from childhood, teenage years, into adult life, and all this, you know, kind of negativity shapes you. So somehow you have to break free of it. Somehow you have to be a little bit brutal to yourself. It's easy to say, it's difficult to do, but is it worth it?
Yes. Hey guys, how are you doing? Hope you're having a good week so far. My name is Dr. Rongan Chatterjee and this is my podcast, Feel Better, Live More.
This week, my guest is the Norwegian adventurer and philosopher Erling Kager. Erling is a remarkable and inspirational human being who I have been wanting to speak to on my podcast for years. At the age of 29, he spent 50 days walking to the South Pole by himself in complete silence. And he's the first person to complete the Three Poles challenge, reaching the North Pole, the South Pole, and the summit of Mount Everest on foot. He's also the author of multiple best-selling books, including Silence in the Age of Noise, Walking One Step at a Time, and his very latest, The North Pole, The History of an Obsession.
