Recently, we traveled to Colorado and went whitewater rafting, and though we had a great time, I found myself more hesitant to get in the raft. In my 20s, I would not even thought about it--"Let's go rafting! Woo hoo!" I looked back into the risky things I did earlier in my life, and wondered whether or not I would do them now. On this episode, I tell some stories about the risks I have taken in my life, like flying a helicopter, and look into the research behind how we change our outlook on taking risks as we get older. Do we become more cautious because of wisdom and life experience? Is there something changing in our brains? Does it have to do with our personalities, as they can change? Expect several stories in this episode, especially how helicopters fly, how difficult it is to fly, and a thrilling story about a pirate ship tour.
