Our Human Nature

Young men today are suffering from astonishing rates of testosterone decline, poor fitness, social isolation, and overall risk-aversion. In this episode we explore some of these trends, both biological and social, and consider the question of whether we need manly men in a modern egalitarian world, or whether we are taking our first steps into a post-masculine society.

Our world is changing at a greater rate than ever before. Despite the incredible volume of information at our fingertips on how to live better, healthier, and more peaceful lives, we are seeing, in many cases, the opposite effect; political and ideological divisiveness, war, and poor physical and mental health. We are at a crossroads, the likes of which we have never before seen in human history. 

Dr. Robert Barrett introduces Our Human Nature, an exploration of what it means to be human in a changing world.
