Adventurer Jelle Veyt - Lessons from facing death and living on the streets 20 angles

    • Science

Adventurer Jelle Veyt on getting caught in an avalanche on Everest, lessons learned from living on the streets for two years, and how death can be a big motivator.
Jelle is a professional adventurer. He is now on a quest to cycle/row to the highest mountains on every continent and climb them.
This was a very personal interview, and it some of the most practical insights in a short amount of time I have ever encountered on:
- being grateful for food and shelter
- being ready to die, but loving to live
- why you make yourself unhappy
- how to stop living like a zombie
- why it’s good to cry like a baby - how everything is temporary, including feeling bad
- how and when to finally start living your dream
- most importantly: don’t hold your farts, let them go!
