- More about The Art of Risk: What we can learn from the world's leading risk-takers
The Art of Risk explores the stories of people who risk their lives regularly and what we can learn from their expertise. It features interviews with climber Alex Honnold, sailor Jessica Watson, mountaineer James Scott, and film director, and deep-sea diver James Cameron, among others. Harry Harris, a former Australian of the Year, explores flooded caves deep underground for fun, which for most people is a nightmare. He believes that by doing "the hard things in life, we can push ourselves a little further and become stronger, more courageous, and more resilient." The Art of Risk has important life lessons as well as gripping stories, and Dr. Harry Harris was at the heart of the Thai Caves rescue, anesthetizing all the boys in order to get them out.

Diving Doctor on the Thai Cave Rescue (now a Netflix series) and former joint Australian of the Year explores the stories of other people who regularly risk their lives and what we can learn from their expertise. Harry Harris, a Thai Cave Rescuer and joint Australian of the Year, engages in a thrilling and dangerous sport called cave diving, which involves navigating through unexplored caves in near darkness and tight spaces, underwater, and deep underground. While this sport is often described as the most dangerous in the world, Harris approaches it with expertise, research, and controlled risk management. He finds solace and discipline in these challenging environments, which have prepared him to handle the stresses of modern life. In the Netflix series, Harris interviews other "risk-takers" about their motivations, preparations, and experiences with mishaps. These include climber Alex Honnold, sailor Jessica Watson, mountaineer James Scott, and film director and deep-sea diver James Cameron, among many others. Through these conversations, we gain insights into what drives these individuals and why a life without risk is not truly living. Harris believes that by embracing challenges and pushing ourselves, we can become stronger, more courageous, and more resilient. The series highlights the importance of facing our fears and taking risks to achieve personal growth and fulfillment.
