Ep.157 I Deciding to Go the Distance: Surviving Russian Jail & Pushing Your Limits with Charlie Walker

From surviving a mob attack in Ethiopia to being imprisoned in Russia, Charlie Walker's adventures push the boundaries of human endurance and reveal the
astonishing resilience required to confront the unexpected.
KEY TOPICS
Setting short-term goals to keep the primary goal from feeling insurmountable.
Creating opportunities for restful moments of “blissful brainlessness.”
