How do we bring danger back in people's lives?
This week on Crack It in an Hour, Simon brings us a problem: how do we add more danger back into our lives?
Here's the paradox: we're safer than ever—traffic deaths down 63%, workplace injuries plummeting, violent crime down 72%. Yet anxiety is up 84%, teen distress is soaring, and people are more anxious than ever. So what's missing?
The team explores whether small, chosen doses of danger actually build the resilience we need to live better lives. They debate what danger really means, why it's been monopolized by extreme sports, and how to make accessible danger desirable again.
