43 分钟In 2017, Alex Honnold did what even the world’s best rock climbers thought was impossible. He climbed to the top of El Capitan– a granite rock mountain more than 3,000 feet high– without a rope, harness, or net. His audacious feat was the subject of the Oscar-winning documentary “Free Solo,” and it left Adam Grant with some burning questions about what we can learn from his unique approach to managing fear. In this episode of ReThinking, another podcast in the TED Audio Collective, Alex opens up about how he regulates his emotions when he’s hanging on by just a few fingers, what still scares him, and how he stays motivated to pursue ambitious goals.

Hi, everyone.

We have something a little bit different for you today.
Instead of a new episode of how to be a better human, we have a new episode of the podcast rethinking with Adam Grant.
This is a podcast in the Ted Audio Collective, and you've heard Adam on our show before.
And now he's back with a new weekly show from Ted where he's unpacking how the world's most creative people think.
Its a podcast that shows that all great minds definitely do not think alike.
Youll learn a ton from creative powerhouses like Ava DuVernay and Adam McKay, but also experts like the neuroscientist Chantel Pratt and Nobel laureate physicist Saul Perlmutter.
Heres an episode I think youre going to really enjoy.

Hi, I'm Debbie Melman, and I host a podcast called Design Matters from the TED Audio Collective.
Every episode I have conversations with designers, writers, artists, and other luminaries of contemporary thought.
People like Roman Mars, AI Weiwei, Ethan Hawke, and Ashley Ford.
We not only talk about their crafts, but how they design the arc of their lives, what they've learned, what obstacles they've overcome, and how they've done it, and how they see the world.
Join us for an inquiry into the broader world of creative culture.
