Alex Hutchinson’s book reflects on his decision to avoid using GPS navigation, despite its convenience, in favour of engaging more actively with their surroundings.

This choice is spurred by concerns that relying too much on turn-by-turn directions weakens the brain’s hippocampus, which is responsible for spatial memory and cognitive mapping.

Guest: Alex Hutchinson - Author of “The Explorer’s Gene: Why We Seek Big Challenges, New Flavors, and the Blank Spots on the Map”
