Addicted to Adrenaline: Psychology of Thrill Seeking (Revisited) | WDYH2S Ep 09

Are we wired to risk our own lives just to feel the rush? We are revisiting one of our favorite conversations because the message is more important now than ever. Why do some people eagerly jump out of airplanes while others prefer both feet firmly on the ground? It is time we dive into the *Psychology of Thrill Seeking* and what our appetite for danger really says about us. In Episode 9 of the What Do You Have 2 Say? In the podcast, Uriah and Phil explore the wild world of extreme experiences and the indescribable adrenaline that comes with them. Phil shares his heart-pounding story of skydiving from 14,000 feet and surviving a baptism by water in Costa Rica's rapids. Uriah opens up about conquering his lifelong fear of roller coasters at Magic Mountain, all because an older woman in line inspired him to push past his comfort zone. We also break down the science behind the adrenaline. Drawing on the expert Ken Carter, we discuss the four distinct types of thrill seekers. Whether you are a classic daredevil, a culinary experience seeker, someone who breaks social norms, or simply someone who cannot stand a boring nine-to-five routine, we all look for stimulation in different ways. From BASE jumping in wingsuits to the absolute insanity of crocodile bungee jumping, we ask the big question: where do you draw the line? Would you ever jump out of a perfectly good airplane?
