b"Our ancestors were able to navigate long distances, find water, and even predict the weather simply by looking at their environment. My guest today says we still have this nature instinct inside of us and with a little practice, we can revive it.\\xa0\\n\\nHis name is\\xa0Tristan Gooley, he's an outdoorsman and author, and his latest book is\\xa0The Nature Instinct:\\xa0Learn to Find Direction, Sense Danger, and Even Guess Nature\\u2019s Next Move\\u2014Faster Than Thought.\\xa0Today on the show we discuss how humans have the ability to simply look at something in nature and immediately see direction, time, or weather conditions. While modern humans have lost this ability, Tristan makes the case that with some practice, anyone can re-learn it. We then discuss how learning how to read nature intuitively makes us more engaged with our surroundings and able to see more significance in our environment. Tristan then shares signs to look for in nature to anticipate animal behavior, find water, and predict the weather.\\xa0After listening to this show, you'll never look at squirrels the same way.\\n\\nGet the show notes at aom.is/natureinstinct."
