The limitless pill | Andy Ramage | TEDxChelmsford

After achieving traditional “success” Andy was left unfit, unhealthy, overweight, stressed and unhappy. He believed there had to be
another way to be successful while staying super fit, healthy, maintaining a happy home life and doing it with a smile on his face. So he set out on a quest to study peak performance and well-being. As part of this process, Andy took a break from alcohol. It was this experience that helped him unlock the behavioural change code and revitalise his business and life.
Andy is a former professional athlete, who after injury cut short his career, he went on to co-create two multimillion-dollar city brokerages. After achieving traditional “success” Andy was left unfit, unhealthy, overweight, stressed and unhappy. He believed there had to be

    Hi Andy. Amazing. Dis the whole OYNB, after a year i moderated but found only complete abstinence made me happy and motivated. Now on your other course I have stopped again and my mantra is you only give something up once - which to me makes sense because if you've given up you don't start again! And currently I am surrounded by the best wines and spirits money can be with "help yourself to anything" still ringing in my ears as I house sit for a month. But I know everything in this video is true and beyond, there are not enough superlatives for AF life. I'm on the wagon for life, my mindset has reverted aand jumped back on the happy life train. Thank you.

    That pill is JESUS CHRIST and I - for me. Only LORD JESUS with GOD gave you talent, great abilities, opportunities, time to develop, be very happy etc. Nothing in this world can help us be the great version of ourselves. I mean some tools do to some degree, but connection to LORD and our effort can get you there. I seen fame throwing people up like a wave and they fall and sink dead, I seen when a lot of money throw you up and they fall and sink dead again, same with anything else in a world. Without JESUS is like walking with a wounded hole in your soul, a piece that is missing to. You becoming miserable and dying each day quick because of that wound. That missing piece is JESUS. Ask any succesful smart human, he or she will tell you that happiness is number for a human, everything else is just secondary helpful tool. Seek GOD first.

    I think that the true benefit of the 'limitless pill' is quality sleep and that all other benefits flow from that. The phase "I slept like a baby" says it all. Unfortunately, I would suggest that abstinence is not necessarily a good substitute for drinking as it presents a different life rather than (for some) a better one. It's complicated but I can personally account for some random exceptional events in my life which were apparently only made possible by drink culture. Perhaps a different set of exceptional events would have come my way as a sober man but I'll never know. During 2 years of no drink my home life and health improved dramatically but my social and work opportunities declined. Now I do the '2 days per week, 1 week per month and 1 month per year' of no drink. It's a schedule at least and allows me to feel in control and gives me good recovery time.

    Great speech and accomplishments in your life! I’ve never drank alcohol, eat really healthy and exercise more that most. I have had the gift of physical health and extended health span and am extremely grateful for sure. I eat peer pressure for breakfast. I choose to do it if I want and not do it I don’t want to. Adrenaline is my only reprieve from the doldrums of life. Going downhill mountain biking, skydiving or anything where death is a higher outcome with speed makes me feel alive. I live for that and my family. Getting much older now by age but not how I feel so pulling back a tad on the risk taking doesn’t help. I could really use a real limitless pills for my situation as I really feel stuck due to perceived / learned and physical mental limitations I guess. I can relate to the first part of your story. Do I need to bing drink for a year then quit to get that experience. I am not that desperate. I have seen so many lives ruined by alcohol it truly is sad. But would try an actual pill if offered out of desperation for sure. Thank you for the inspiration.
