Pushing Your Limits and Discovering Yourself with Kilian Jornet - Dr Rangan Chatterjee

When was the last time you were
completely alone?  Not alone by modern standards, but truly alone –
with no mobile phone or outside influences providing information to your brain.
Can you think of a time? Global icon, prolific mountain runner and guest on
this week’s episode, Kilian Jornet believes that it is only when you take away
the storm of information, that you can discover what your true priorities are.
And for him, the mountains are the tool to do just that. Not only do they allow
him to explore the beauty of nature, they allow him to discover himself. He
explains that by pushing his body to its limits, all the masks that he wears in
everyday life are removed and he is able to find out who he really is.

Kilian and I discuss the benefits of
solitude, failure and visualisation. We delve into Kilian’s amazing feat of
climbing Everest twice in one week and talk about how immersing oneself in a
challenging situation can be a form of mediation. Finally, Kilian shares some
brilliant tips to help us all connect with ourselves and live our best
lives.  I found Kilian’s single-minded drive to live the life he
wants to live truly inspiring – I hope this conversation inspires you
too.
