The Wild Within: Why You Still Pick Your Nose

You’re a sophisticated, modern human. You have a phone, a job, a favourite oat milk. And yet… you still sometimes pick your nose.
Why?

Because under the surface of your curated life lives a curious, hairy, beautifully messy ape — and it’s dying to be seen.

In The Wild Within, Alan Roche takes you on a brilliantly entertaining journey into the strange and wonderful tension between our primal instincts and the polished personas society demands. From boogers to body shame, grooming habits to gut feelings, this book peels back the layers of human behaviour with humour, insight, and zero judgement.

Part science, part storytelling, part unapologetic truth bomb, this is your invitation to reconnect with your real self — the one you’ve been told to hide.

Honest. Funny. Freeing.
This is not a book about being gross.
It’s a book about being human.
