With the weight of the world bearing down on us, what if we could "escape the existential angst of being human"? That was designer Thomas Thwaites' reasoning, when he decided to climb the Alps … as a goat. After consulting with ruminant experts across various fields, Thwaites embarked on his journey to greener pastures in a set of goat-limb prosthetics, subsisting entirely on a diet of grass and Mars bars. Find out what it was like trotting along in someone else's hooves in his book, GoatMan: How I Took a Holiday from Being Human.

Music: "The Other Woman" (Instrumental) by Caro Emerald and "Fall All the Way" by Captain Planet
