The Great Bear Rainforest is vast, splendid and wild but also friendly, fun and diverse. I

intheforests.
I woke up on my birthday in a tent on the edge of the water. Behind me, the trees of this
largely untouched wilderness emerged. Endless carpets of pointed trees reached right down to a
thin rocky shore. It seemed there was no way in. This wilderness held its secrets close. Stepping
from the beach into the forest, I immediately sensedthe history of the area—it feltancient, and it
wasimpossiblenottobehumbled.
With a guide for safety, I hiked a few miles through the wilderness.The sounds ofthe forest
were everywhere. Birds sang. Insects buzzed. Something bigger moved through the undergrowth
and my guide stopped dead. Listened. My heart was in my mouth. Then, after some invisible
signal,myguiderelaxed,andwewenton.

If someone asked whether you like the arts, you’d probably say you do—at least in theory.
According to a survey, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond
everyday experiences.” However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23
percentwenttoanartmuseum.Fewerthanhalfactivelycreatedartofanykind.

{#{QQABSYaUogAAAhAAABgCAQUYCkCQkBGAACoOQAAIsAABQANABAA=}#}The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day
responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music
while you work or do the chores, but even before the pandemic, most of us rarely, if ever, saw a
liveperformance,letalonevisitedagalleryorwatchedaplay.
Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake. The
arts are the opposite of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we
ever get into the nature and meaning of life. If you make time for consuming and producing
art—the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments—I assure you
that you’ll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of

Ifyouareamongthepeoplewhofeelthatartispurepleasuretoexperienceandparticipatein,
you might see it as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat art less like a distracting
pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art

was made from a protein extracted from silkworm silk, while the other was made of one of four
so-called covalent organic frameworks (COFs). These materials contain carbon and hydrogen, as
well as atoms like oxygen or nitrogen, all arranged in a network that allows air and water to go
througheasily.
After checking the films were non-toxic and strong, theresearchers tried to compost(堆肥处

days,whichiscomparabletoexistingbiodegradableplastics.
The material also changed colour when immersed in water with different pH values, due to
the COF layer’s interaction with the liquid. Because the pH of food increases as it spoils, the
researchers tried to use a piece of the film as a colour-changing label attached to a packet of raw

TheScienceofRisk-Seeking
Sometimes we decidethatalittle unnecessary dangeris worth itbecausewhenwe weigh the
risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 36 Some of us enjoy activities that would
surpriseandscaretherestofus.Why?Expertssayitmayhavetodowithhowourbrainswork.
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans.
Risk-takers were better athunting, fighting, or exploring. 37 As the quality of risk-taking was
passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a
toleranceforrisk.
So whyaren’twe alljumping outof airplanesthen?Well, even 200,000years ago, toomuch
risk-taking could get onekilled.Afew daringsurvived, though, along with afew stay-in-the-cave
types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe
youlovecarracing,ormaybeyouhateit. 38
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to
take risks increases during your teenage years. 39 To help you do that, your brain increases
your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain
raisesyourtoleranceforriskaswell.
40 For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for
therestofus,apartofthebrainrelatedtofearbecomesactive.

He preferred clothes thatallowed him the freedom to move under cars. So even when taking
part in a school trip with me, he was dressed in his repairman’s suit. On the school bus to the
