- 10 minutes 42 secondsRadical Forgiveness Therapy with Ege Riiitsalu
How do you get out of a rut and onto a ridge? Although my book, Hike Your Own Hike, offers ideas, it doesn't discuss radical forgiveness, which can lead to breakthroughs.
Watch the VideoIn my first TEDx Talk, I discussed "How Travel Transforms You."
But what if the wanderlust doesn't quite do the trick?
Then, you take another type of journey, a mental one, to unlock deep-seated memories and beliefs.
Ege Riitsalu is an Estonian who used radical forgiveness to dislodge a mental roadblock. Since then, she's run workshops and offered one-on-one therapy to help others take this mental journey.
Enjoy this two-part series discussing radical forgiveness and how to employ it.
Part 1: What is Radical Forgiveness and When Should You Use It?In this episode, Ege Riitsalu introduces you to the concept of radical forgiveness. What's below is taken from what Ege Riitsalu has written about radical forgiveness.
It's good for those with:
- General dissatisfaction with life: stress, anxiety, meaninglessness, lack of purpose, low income, poor physical/mental health, etc.
- Constant criticism of self and others, feelings of shame and guilt.
- Painful emotions regarding life events that have taken place (divorce, betrayal, offense, claims about a partner, etc.).
- Repeated life patterns in personal and professional life (separations from life and business partners, dismissal from work, etc.).
- Sharing your story: You get the opportunity to express, discover, and map your experiences and the feeling of being a "victim"
- Feeling emotions and taking responsibility: You allow yourself to feel all emotions and focus on expressing them in a safe space and a restrained manner.
- Collapsing the story: When discovering your story, move toward understanding, compassion, and empathy to separate your interpretations, judgments, and expectations and deal with the facts.
- Emergence of a new story: After discovering and releasing negative emotions and recurring disturbing thoughts, you can understand their motives and eliminate the story of being a "victim."
- Integration: You integrate your entire experience holistically through various practices.
Radical forgiveness will help you:
- Return to the joy of life and happiness that is so characteristic of you.
- Find inner peace, strength, and balance.
- Create more harmonious relationships with yourself and others.
- Get rid of repressed emotional reactions such as anger, guilt, resentment, shame, etc.
- Get out of victim mentality and behavior.
- To shake off feelings of unforgiveness towards yourself or someone else.
- To heal from emotional pain and the burden of the past.

8 November 2024, 12:59 pm - 11 minutes 10 secondsIs Voting for a Third-Party Candidate Throwing Away Your Vote?
Who you vote for in the 2024 US Presidential election matters little if you don't live in Maine, Nebraska, or a battleground state.
If you want to be highly pedantic and annoying, you could argue that your vote matters even in non-swing states like California.
That's because if most Californian Democrats conspired not to vote, a Republican would win even though the polls heavily favor the Democrat.However, if you live in the real, realistic world, my point is accurate on a practical level.

25 October 2024, 7:28 am - 41 minutes 26 secondsSandy Irvine's Foot Found on Everest! Analysis with Dr. Robert Edwards
On the 100th anniversary of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine's death on Mount Everest, I interviewed Dr. Robert Edwards, author of Mallory, Irvine, and Everest: The Last Step But One, which reexamined their mysterious story in extreme detail.
Watch my original interview with Dr. Edwards, my most popular interview in 2024. It provides an excellent background for today's interview.
Today, Dr. Edwards returns to the WanderLearn Show to discuss Jimmy Chin's surprising October 2024 announcement that he found Andrew Comyn Irvine's foot! Andrew Irvine's nickname was Sandy.
Watch the Video Photo by National GeographicImage copyright: National Geographic
National Geographic sponsored the expedition and announced the momentous news. The rest of Sandy's body has not been found yet.
Sandy died 100 years ago. In 1960, Chinese climber Wang Fuzhou claimed he spotted a dead European climber who had to be Sandy Irvine. Assuming that sighting was accurate, nobody has seen Irvine since then ... until now.
Famed mountaineer and photographer Jimmy Chin found Sandy's foot inside the 100-year-old boot.
Robert Edwards wrote his initial impressions of Sandy's discovery on Goodreads.
In this interview, we delve into greater detail, including the map Dr. Edwards made:
In the podcast, I struggled to understand why Dr. Edwards thought Sandy's foot may have been found either in pin v1 or v2.
After the interview, I reflected more carefully and realized that the Central Rongbuk Glacier is sliding west (right in the image). I initially assumed it was sliding north (down the image).
Excerpt of Dr. Edwards's Goodreads postI can think of at least two scenarios which are consistent with the new discovery:
• On June 8, 1924, Irvine fell from somewhere on the North Face of Everest to the head of the Central Rongbuk Glacier. If so, it seems to me that, given the topography of Mount Everest, the start of that fall had to be either within, or to the west of, the Norton Couloir. In that case, Irvine fell at least 500 meters to the west of where Mallory's body was found.• On June 8, 1924, Irvine became immobilised or died in the place where on May 24 or 25, 1960, the Chinese mountaineer Wang Fu-zhou would see the body of “a European in braces” [for North Americans: suspenders]. The Chinese route was along the Northeast Ridge. According to reports of a speech in Leningrad in 1965, Wang saw the body at 8,600 meters (28,215 feet): that is, between the Second Step and the Third Step. If so, the body could only be that of Irvine; and he had died on the descent. In this scenario, at some unknowable date after 1960, natural events carried Irvine's body down the mountain to the head of the glacier.
In both scenarios, the implacable creep of the ice carried part of Irvine's remains to the place where Jimmy Chin found them in September 2024.The first scenario excludes the second: for if in 1924 Irvine fell to the glacier, Wang Fu-zhou in 1960 could not have seen a body of any kind at 8,600 meters. No doubt, other scenarios are conceivable.
What next?
Undoubtedly, the China-Tibet Mountaineering Association will conduct an expedition to find the rest of Irvine’s body and any artifacts associated with it; or will permit National Geographic to undertake such an endeavour. The search could possibly be made before the winter; otherwise, the next window will probably be the spring of 2025. Irvine’s body and artifacts will surely be found.
The Chinese authorities also have the opportunity to examine Irvine’s boot for rock particles, which might reveal where he had been before he died. (As far as I can determine, Mallory’s boots were never tested in this way.)
In either event, we may then know more about the last climb of Mallory and Irvine.
Dr. Edwards added in an email to me:In case I didn't explain clearly the difference between the two pins in the Google Earth image: pin v1 is based on ice velocity of 10 meters/year; pin v2 is based on ice velocity of 27 meters/year (based on a range of Chinese estimates for the East Rongbuk Glaicier).
In both cases, the pin assumes movement of the remains over 100 years, i.e. assuming that Irvine fell all the way to the glacier in 1924. So Pin v1 is 1,000 meters downstream; pin v2 is 2,700 meters downstream.
If Irvine's remains fell after 1960 (which, given Wang's sighting, I'm inclined to think more probable), both pins would be much closer to the head of the glacier. Pin v1 would be at most 640 meters downstream; pin v2 would be at most 1,728 meters downstream.
Both pins hug the western rim of the glacier, since I'm inclined to think that objects starting near the rim will remain near the rim. (A glaciologist would know.)

14 October 2024, 1:29 pm - 25 minutes 55 secondsSnow Kiting Across Greenland + 4 First Ascents with Eric Gilbertson!Eric Gilbertson is back!
Eric Gilbertson and Branden Joy dragged 400 pounds (180 kg) of gear on 4 sleds across Greenland.
They covered 1,539 miles (1,420 snow kiting, 119 man hauling) in 40 days.
On his biggest day, he covered 218 miles kiting.
His fastest kiting speed was 33mph.
They did 4 first ascents.
Read Eric Gilbertson's Greenland traverse trip report.
Krisli Melesk co-hosted this show with me. She and I were in awe of Eric's accomplishments.
Watch the Video Interview11 October 2024, 9:40 am - 19 minutes 6 seconds2 K2 & Everest Climbers Swap Mountain Stories
Everyone loves coincidences. During my month in Estonia, I bumbled into Krisli Melesk, who bumbled into Eric Gilbertson on K2. Eric & I were scheduled to record a podcast a few days after I met Krisli, so I invited her to join the show as a surprise guest!
Eric Gilbertson is in the process of climbing to the highest point in every country. He's done 143 out of 193!
This is first of a two-part series, featuring Eric & Krisli. Subscribe to get next week's episode where we will discuss Eric kite surfing across Greenland!
You must listen to my first two interviews with Eric Gilbertson!
Krisli Melesk is also remarkable. She deserves her own episode and book! Her list of adventures is long and mind-blowing.
We only delved into a couple of her countless adventures in this episode.
In this episode, we focus on K2 and Everest, especially their joint experience on K2. Although they didn't climb K2 on the same team, they met on K2 and summitted a few days apart.
We end the show by talking about Kanchenjunga, the world's third highest mountain, with an elevation of 28,169 feet (8,586 metres). It is situated in the eastern Himalayas on the border between Sikkim state, northeastern India, and eastern Nepal, 46 miles (74 km) north-northwest of Darjiling, Sikkim.
We discuss why Eric was able to summit Kanchenjunga and Krisli was not.
Note: In the show, I refer to Krisli as "Kris," but the automatic subtitle generator on the video transcribed her name as "Chris." Also, I apologize for the mediocre audio quality. We had tech issues.

20 September 2024, 9:04 pm - 18 minutes 16 secondsHarris-Trump Debate + Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari covers the entire information age
I share reflections on last night's Harris-Trump Debate in the first two minutes of this podcast.
In the rest of the podcast, I review Yuval Noah Harari's newest book.
Harari is one of my top three favorite authors. I also love Bill Bryson and Walter Isaacson.
Therefore, I was thrilled that a few months ago, I got an advanced copy of Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI, which launches today, September 10, 2024.
It's a 515-page book but is filled with headers over its 11 chapters, making it modular and readable.
I also reviewed his previous book, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century.
I loved Nexus, although Homo Deus is still my favorite Harari book.
Nexus explores the evolution of information networks from prehistoric times to the present, focusing mainly on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on society.
OutlineThere are 3 parts:
Part 1: Human Networks focuses on history and how information went from clay tablets to silicon.
Part 2: The Inorganic Network focuses on the internet age and the birth of AI. It discusses how computers differ from printing presses and how the information networks are relentless and fallible.
Part 3: Computer Politics focuses on how AI will enter every aspect of our lives, governments, and businesses. He discusses democracies, totalitarianism, and the Silicon Curtain (how China and the West have different internets and AIs).
Overview and ThemesIn Nexus, Harari argues that human history has been profoundly shaped by our ability to create and share narratives, which he identifies as the foundation of our social structures.
He posits that information networks—from oral traditions to the internet—serve as the "glue" that holds societies together.
The book emphasizes the dual nature of information: while it can foster cooperation and understanding, it can also propagate falsehoods and manipulation, particularly in the age of AI.
Nexus is more urgent and personal than Harari's previous works. It tackles contemporary issues related to AI, warning about its potential to manipulate human behavior without direct control.
Harari connects historical developments, such as the rise of farming and cities, to the evolution of information networks.
Nexus mixes historical analysis and philosophical reflection with Harari's trademark ability to provoke thought about the implications of modern technology.
His exploration of how AI could reshape human existence is captivating and unsettling, prompting you to reconsider your relationship with technology.
One fascinating observation is that governments used to spend 80% of their budgets on the military. Today, they spend about 10% on the military and more on healthcare.
CritiqueHarari makes the same error that many nonfiction books do: they spend 95% of the book complaining and 5% of the time discussing the solution.
ConclusionHappily, Harari isn't bleak or hopeless. He isn't overly pessimistic about our future. He believes we're at a critical crossroads, akin to when Christian scholars decided what books would make it into the Bible. What we do today will have an impact forever.
Totalitarianism loves AI's ability to survey and process data to keep the population in check.
However, totalitarianism hates that AI is a black box that is unpredictable and hard to control. Totalitarianism may become dependent on AI to make wise decisions, and it may falter, especially if the AI doesn't do what's best for the totalitarian leader.
Harari believes that democracy will triumph over totalitarianism because democracy is self-correcting and open to criticism. It's constantly adjusting to the wisdom of the crowds, whereas totalitarianism is rigid.
Ultimately, he believes that strong, wise institutions will help us incorporate the best of AI while avoiding its follies and dangers.
Nexus contributes to the discourse on AI and its societal implications. While it may not achieve the same universal acclaim as Harari's earlier works, like Sapiens or Homo Deus, it offers a compelling examination of how information networks have evolved and the urgent questions they raise for the future.
Readers looking for a blend of history, philosophy, and contemporary relevance will find much to ponder in Harari's latest offering.
After my verdict, I have included some excerpts from the book so you can get a feel for what it covers.
VERDICT: 9 out of 10 stars.
ExcerptsTo conclude, the new computer network will not necessarily be either bad or good. All we know for sure is that it will be alien and it will be fallible. We therefore need to build institutions that will be able to check not just familiar human weaknesses like greed and hatred but also radically alien errors. There is no technological solution to this problem. It is, rather, a political challenge. Do we have the political will to deal with it? Modern humanity has created two main types of political systems: large-scale democracy and large-scale totalitarianism.
==========
Another common but mistaken assumption is that creativity is unique to humans so it would be difficult to automate any job that requires creativity.
==========
third mistaken assumption is that computers couldn’t replace humans in jobs requiring emotional intelligence, from therapists to teachers.
==========
If it means the ability to correctly identify emotions and react to them in an optimal way, then computers may well outperform humans even in emotional intelligence. Emotions too are patterns.
==========
Actually, computers may outperform humans in recognizing human emotions, precisely because they have no emotions of their own. We yearn to be understood, but other humans often fail to understand how we feel, because they are too preoccupied with their own feelings. In contrast, computers will have an exquisitely fine-tuned understanding of how we feel, because they will learn to recognize the patterns of our feelings, while they have no distracting feelings of their own.

==========
If three years of high unemployment could bring Hitler to power, what might never-ending turmoil in the job market do to democracy?
==========
The most important human skill for surviving the twenty-first century is likely to be flexibility, and democracies are more flexible than totalitarian regimes.
==========
The rise of unfathomable alien intelligence undermines democracy. If more and more decisions about people’s lives are made in a black box, so voters cannot understand and challenge them, democracy ceases to function.
==========
Power lies at the nexus where the information channels merge.
==========
For most of recorded history, the military was the number one item on the budget of every empire, sultanate, kingdom, and republic.
==========
For many people in the 2010s, the fact that the health-care budget was bigger than the military budget was unremarkable. But it was the result of a major change in human behavior, and one that would have sounded impossible to most previous generations.
==========
It places a heavy responsibility on all of us to make good choices. It implies that if human civilization is consumed by conflict, we cannot blame it on any law of nature or any alien technology.
==========
It places a heavy responsibility on all of us to make good choices. It implies that if human civilization is consumed by conflict, we cannot blame it on any law of nature or any alien technology. It also implies that if we make the effort, we can create a better world.

It places a heavy responsibility on all of us to make good choices. It implies that if human civilization is consumed by conflict, we cannot blame it on any law of nature or any alien technology. It also implies that if we make the effort, we can create a better world. This isn’t naïveté; it’s realism.
==========
The invention of AI is potentially more momentous than the invention of the telegraph, the printing press, or even writing, because AI is the first tool that is capable of making decisions and generating ideas by itself.
==========
The good news is that if we eschew complacency and despair, we are capable of creating balanced information networks that will keep their own power in check. Doing so is not a matter of inventing another miracle technology or landing upon some brilliant idea that has somehow escaped all previous generations. Rather, to create wiser networks, we must abandon both the naive and the populist views of information, put aside our fantasies of infallibility, and commit ourselves to the hard and rather mundane work of building institutions with strong self-correcting mechanisms. That is perhaps the most important takeaway this book has to offer.
==========
This wisdom is much older than human history. It is elemental, the foundation of organic life. The first organisms weren’t created by some infallible genius or god. They emerged through an intricate process of trial and error. Over four billion years, ever more complex mechanisms of mutation and self-correction led to the evolution of trees, dinosaurs, jungles, and eventually humans. Now we have summoned an alien inorganic intelligence that could escape our control and put in danger not just our own species but countless other life-forms. The decisions we all make in the coming years will determine whether summoning this alien intelligence proves to be a terminal error or the beginning of a hopeful new chapter in the evolution of life.
