Nat Geo Adventurer of the Year Jon Turk: Tracking Lions, Myth and Exploration

Author: Matthew Belair September 18, 2021 Duration: 1:19:02

Jon Turk earned a Ph.D. in organic chemistry in 1971 and was nominated by National Geographic as one of the Top Ten Adventurers of the Year in 2012.

Between these bookends, he co-authored the first college level environmental science textbook in North America, followed by 35 additional texts.

At the same time, he kayaked around Cape Horn, across the North Pacific from Japan to Alaska, and around Ellesmere Island.

During extended travel in northeast Siberia, his worldview was altered by Moolynaut, a Siberian shaman, and his later books reflect these spiritual journeys, supported by adventure storytelling, and integrated with an anthropological view of the role of art and mythology in human development.

He is the author of the new book tracking lions: Myth and Wilderness in Samburu

Matthew Belair hosts Master Mind, Body and Spirit, a space where expansive conversations unfold with thinkers and practitioners from diverse fields. Rather than offering quick fixes, this podcast delves into the interconnected layers of human experience, exploring how spiritual insight, physical vitality, and mental clarity inform one another. You’ll hear from experts in personal development, fitness, and contemplative traditions, discussing both timeless principles and emerging science. The dialogue is candid and often feels like listening in on a deep discussion between curious peers. Episodes serve as practical guides, unpacking actionable tools and perspectives for holistic growth. Whether the topic is a meditative practice, a nutritional approach, or a philosophical concept, the aim is to provide keys for genuine self-mastery. Tuning in means encountering a wide range of ideas for optimizing your life, all grounded in the understanding that true potential is unlocked when we attend to ourselves as whole beings. This is where the journey of integrating knowledge into daily living gets real, moving beyond theory into the realm of lived experience and personal transformation.
