00:06
of the world's most interesting men here

he is riding down from the top of
00:10
Europe's highest mountain Mount Elbrus

[Music]
00:18
eight flight or freeze that's it those
00:21
are the only actions the amygdala can
00:23
take it's a single level decision
00:25
because when that amygdala senses danger
00:27
it doesn't care about anything else it's
00:30
a two-million-year-old piece of software
00:32
that runs our life and we have to stop
00:34
that when the amygdala gets in charge it
00:37
produces this fear cocktail its DHEA
00:40
it's adrenaline it's cortisol all
00:42
coursing through your body and this is
00:44
what gives us superhuman powers this is
00:46
why a hundred and thirty pound woman can
00:48
lift up a car to save the child that's
00:50
trapped underneath it this is why we
00:52
have such mental acuity when we're
00:54
scared remember every last detail reason
00:56
you need to find more fear is to figure
00:59
out when the amygdala is trying to get
01:01
in charge that's the first exploration I
01:04
want you to do if you can recognize
01:06
changes in your body they're always the
01:08
same each person has a physiology that's
01:12
built up always the same when you get
01:13
scared you're gonna hear it like Brad
01:15
said the butterflies in his stomach the
01:18
the tensing of someone's jaw the rapid
01:22
heartbeat these are all gonna be the
01:24
same so if you can find your fear tells
01:26
it's gonna let you know when the
01:28
amygdala is trying to take control
01:29
because the amygdala doesn't care about
01:32
your life it doesn't care if you have a
01:35
great relationship it doesn't care if
01:37
you're building the biggest franchise in
01:38
history it doesn't care if you want to
01:40
go on vacation and Fiji all it cares
01:43
about is staying alive what could you do
01:47
if fear didn't get in your way
01:49
what would you try where would you go
01:53
what could you create what could we all
01:57
do if fear never stopped us I asked you
02:02
all who made a choice in their life
02:03
beforehand I want you to make a choice
02:05
right now it's tough let me tell you
02:10
when you're confronted with fear it's so
02:12
easy to go back on what your amygdala
02:13
wants you to do but I want you to commit
02:16
right now to using fear as fuel I want
02:19
you to commit to using this base
02:22
methodology when you feel those tells to
02:24
change your life to redesign your entire
02:27
life I want you to do it mostly
02:31
and firstly for those people who count
02:34
on you and need you to do it and then I
02:36
want you to do it secondly because it'll
02:38
