As grown-ups, one of our deepest urges is for life to be more adventurous: a little more excitement, novelty, interest and passion. Unfortunately, many adventures, especially the ‘big’ kinds, are too expensive, threaten to upturn everything and can upset those who rely on us. What we therefore badly need is access to smaller, more pocket-sized adventures.

Adventures include: • Write down five questions you wish someone else would ask you; ask them of someone else. • Set your alarm before sunrise and go for a walk. • Complete the sentence: ‘If I wasn’t afraid of failure, I would…’ Tell a friend your answer.
