Today, Michael covers belonging and how to find it. Belonging is linked to greater happiness and better health outcomes—yet belonging is dwindling today. Here’s an easy way to belong: Become a fan of something or join a group. You’ll learn a strange way I found belonging through fandom, and four research-backed ways to find belonging in an increasingly fragmented, isolated world. Note: I’m in the wilderness for a couple months, so this episode’s audio was generate by AI.

We’re covering what new science can tell us about the “super-athlete” physiology of the Nepali Sherpa and how you can boost your endurance. High-altitude mountaineering is arguably the most taxing endurance sport on the planet, and the Sherpa people are revered as the most naturally gifted athletes in the sport. Scientists at the University of Cambridge studied the Sherpa and discovered a few fascinating facts that might alter medicine and should change how we think about endurance exercise.
