Living Dangerously

Some days you just don’t feel like getting out of bed in the morning. But is it really laziness that makes getting up so hard, or is it our natural instinct for survival, desperately warning us that leaving the warmth of the duvet could seriously damage our health? Equinox, the award-winning science series, sets out to examine why it is that some people are willing to jump from the top of tall buildings for pleasure whilst others are too scared to leave their own houses. Could the levels of an enzyme in the blood determine how we assess risk? Is life becoming more dangerous or are we becoming increasingly obsessed with lesser and smaller dangers? Living Dangerously attempts to find the answers.
