Thank you, Brian, for this and others inspiring podcasts. I listen to them first thing in the morning every day, while eating breakfast, and it's so energizing! I've been dedicating much of my time to self-development for the last month or so and feel I've learnt so much about myself. It's so good to know that many people feel the same way I do and to be constantly reminded that we're all born "naked" and can bring ourselves to reach mastery and unlock our potential; it only requires determination and discipline. It's no easy way, but we have all the tools we need in us; we just have to learn the most effective techniques to use them. I'm lucky enough to have had someone who had shown me the way out of the cave, but I also had been coward and weak enough to go back in. Thank you for pointing the way out again.
Brian i'm interested to know what's your nutrition approach currently.I read that you were vegeterians before what are the reason of going and ending that lifestyle just curious, and is there any currect ''top'' diet for athletes, i go high on veggies moderete fruit/white meat/eggs/diary low grains and avoid poisons.
+GladX Yep! Used to be vegan. Now I lean Paleo. Lots of veggies (note to self: Increase them! :), tons of fat (like crazy amount of coconut fat, mct oil, olives, etc.) and moderate protein and low carb. No sugar (at all), no grains (at all). I'll be expanding this collection: brianjohnson.me/philosophersnotes-tag/paleo/
***** I started adding 2spoons of honey per day and removing gluten on Novak Djokovic(best tennis player in the world) advice we are from same country Serbia and i recently was lucky to meet him had a great chat and he told those 2 things helped his recovery a lot.
I like listening to Michael Gelb, yet there is one thing that I fervently disgrace with him about, and that's Aikido. It is pathetic, practiced by the deluded. I say this out of experience, which I wasted time and money.
