About the book, The Explorer's Gene
The Explorer's Gene is made of 3 parts:
1) Why do we explore
2) How do we explore
3) What does exploring mean
Written in an engaging style that combines narrative stories with scientific research, it's comparable to Malcolm Gladwell's work but with stronger research foundations.
It has a comprehensive scope and accessibility. It investigates human and animal exploratory behavior.
The book connects external exploration to internal growth, offering insights into decision-making and personal development.
It blends entertainment with scientific rigor, appealing to readers interested in human behavior, science writing, and personal growth.
