Rebel Book Club Boulder x ENDURANCE

Welcome to the RBC Boulder event, where we'll be diving into September’s theme, Endurance, through this month's read, , by Alex Hutchinson.

In Endure, Hutchinson reveals why our individual limits may be determined as much by our head and heart, as by our muscles. He presents an overview of science’s search for understanding human fatigue, from crude experiments with electricity and frogs’ legs to sophisticated brain imaging technology. Going beyond the traditional mechanical view of human limits, he instead argues that a key element in endurance is how the brain responds to distress signals - whether heat, or cold, or muscles screaming with lactic acid - and reveals that we can train to improve brain response.

Why we chose to read Endure: "If you want to gain insight into the mind of great athletes, adventurers, and peak performers then prepare to be enthralled by Alex Hutchinson’s Endure." - Bear Grylls

Delicious drinks are included, as well as engaging storytelling and space for conversations and sharing your own journeys across countries and continents.

Joey Gigante

Joey is a marketing strategist who’s led campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands. He’s always been a voracious reader — once getting in trouble as a kid for reading under his desk at school.

Drawn to books on cultural criticisms and society (and allergic to self-help books), Joey believes books expand our worlds and that discussing them with others makes the experience richer.

‍He’s leading RBC Boulder with the hopes of building something simple but powerful: chill vibes, smart conversation, and a space for people connect. If you leave each session thinking a little differently, mission accomplished.
