Summary
"Within us is a person who can endure so much more than we currently can. By endlessly striving for comfort, all we’re doing is turning ourselves into a most feeble version of a human being. And then of course people are struggling. They start becoming scared of everything." Our next episode with Chris Brennan is all about STRENGTH. Chris started "from the bottom of the UK rat race" in his 30s, and a few years later ended up in tangled in stress, debt, and marital problems. Today he is the founder of his own successful low-carbon footprint building company, and a passionate wellbeing advocate. How did he go from crisis to purpose? "I had to work a lot", he explained. But what were his psychological ingredients and daily habits to keep himself strong and focused? And why does he plunge himself into freezing water every day?
