How to embrace perspective and be more positive - with the professional rugby player turned walking quadriplegic and now movie star Ed Jackson

1 hour 6 minutes

Ed Jackson is a bloody inspiration. He was a professional rugby player before his career was cut short when he dived into a swimming pool and broke his neck. He nearly died and was told he would not walk again. But Ed worked his butt off and confounded the critics, going on to make a remarkable recovery - and has since developed something of a penchant for climbing mountains. And now, a movie has been made about his remarkable story, called The Mountain Within Me. It's currently in UK cinemas, and I can't recommend going to see it enough. This is a rerelease of the first conversation Ed and I had a few years ago, and I am chuffed that his epic story continues to develop in such impactful ways.

Working with me 1-1

"I have to say that in the days following our call I felt as though there had been a profound shift.The days that followed were some of the best days I have had in many years as there seemed to be so much more space between me any my thoughts." - Henry

“Each session with Simon has been enjoyable and enlightening in equal measure.Through our conversations I have learnt a lot not only about non-duality and Simon’s use of his own experiences are really helpful in grasping the ideas behind it all. After each chat I really feel like my ‘cup has been filled" - Jack

"What Simon did so beautifully and directly, was put back into my hands the ability to do some self-inquiry. I did the inquiry and freedom was revealed. I would whole heartedly recommend you speak with Simon as he brings a lightness, fun and focus." - Kate
