The hidden Value in Pushing your Body to its Limits. | Damian Browne | TEDxHSG

Damian explains that achievements, experiences and memories are less important than the act of pushing yourself to your physical and mental limits. Only from the latter, does he gain the needed values for a stronger will and a calmer life. Damian Browne is an Irish adventurer and traveler who started his career as a professional Rugby player. Since his retirement from professional sports, he has visited more than 50 countries on six continents, joined numerous expeditions, completed the 257 km long "Marathon de Sables", known as the toughest footrace on earth, and has solo rowed across the Atlantic ocean in 63 days. Damian strives to constantly push himself both mentally and physically and is out to live an extra-ordinary life, filled with challenges, risk and growth. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
