Limitless With Chris Hemsworth (National Geographic)

A different way we can live better for longer: regenerating damage, maximizing strength, building resilience, shocking the body, supercharging memory and confronting mortality.

I just binged watched this.  I really enjoyed it, but I wish there was a follow up episode where Chris talked about long term changes that he made due to the experience.  What tips stuck?  Which did he drop, and why?

Not everything discussed was new to me.  I mean, the power of positive thinking has been around for a long time!  One thing I didn't know was the body's arteries close up during stress, as self-defense against bleeding out in case of a wound.  The human body is amazing!  

The challenges Chris went through were utterly sadistic.  Walking on that crane?  With each section getting narrower?  No way.  I wish there was more instruction on how to concentrate on your breathing and focus when adrenaline is flooding your body.  Some of the sequences showed Chris completely forgetting the "tips," and I don't blame him!

Ok. The last episode is very weird. And very hard to watch.
 

Also the crane episode I didn’t feel like they talked enough about the methods to calm yourself down. They made it seem like a couple of discussions about breathing and you got it. My opinion only.
