The journey from mental health to enlightenment | Alan Watkins | TEDxUniversityofManchester

An expert on human performance and leadership with over 20 years of experience, Alan Watkins gives us a deeper understanding of human behaviour as he explains how to move outside our comfort zone and challenge our current beliefs in order to deliver at a new level and inspire others through our actions. Alan is recognised as an international expert on leadership and human performance. He has a broad mix of
commercial, academic, scientific and technological abilities. Over the past 20 years he has been a coach to
many of Europe’s top business leaders and worked with the GB Olympic squad, coaches and athletes prior to
London 2012 and Rio 2016.
Alan was originally trained as a medical doctor at Imperial College in London and worked for 11 years in the UK’s National Health Service, largely in cardiorespiratory medicine as well as working for a year as a physician in Australia and a year in academic medical research in the USA. He ended up in Neuroscience research before leaving medicine to work predominantly with global business leaders 18 years ago. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

He is describing the hero's journey from joseph campbell's monomyth. Just google hero's journey and you'll get a template describing the steps. Jordan Peterson delves a lot deeper into all of this.

[@andrewwalker1377]

@@emielpoot5872 Thank you that made it much clearer on revisiting this talk

"Put your hand up if you've wondered if you are weird. Oh good roughly half of you." I didnt put my hand up because I know I'm weird...

[@brothabuddha879]

Please tell me he has a book on the subject matter!

[@pabloreina8134]

Anyone got the app name? Can’t find it. Brilliant talk otherwise.

[@marysmith523]

E-Batt? Not available on Apple

[@marysmith523]

Universe of Emotions is an iPhone app of his that I just found.

[@renuabel]

Powerful

[@subodhpatil585]

[@subodhpatil585]

smart tedexer

[@andrewsommerville6023]

Will there one day be a TEDx tak about how to ignore self-help talks and work out that finding how to deal with life on your own might bring its own reward?

[@geespar1]

There probably will be, but it will be best to ignore it

[@nathaniellevy7956]

This is just Anthony de Mello but slicker, less spiritual, and more marketable! (still a good video, but check him out if you haven't)

[@Ablasuena]

I think the different qualities you list make this presenter different essentially, no?:)

[@Ablasuena]

Having asked that, I will definitely check Anthony de Mello, never heard of him so far! Thank you for sharing

[@annielou221]

compared to the previous Ted Talks I felt this one was more about sales. It didn't have the same impact and energy of the previous ones. Shame

[@BelleOmbreGrey]

Funny, my energy levels for this drivel completely tanked as soon as he started hawking a phone app a tool for the spiritual journey he claims is universal. How'd humanity get this far, all these aeons without a smart phone?

[@harrywright4004]

This fellow loves his psycho babble

[@phy29]

A little bit madness win on a lot of wiseness ..... coffee with salt ....

[@patmat.]

Fishy when YT keeps pushing a channel in your stream 🐟. You bet, these are DACA immigrants, we're supposed to be like 'wow dude these dudes are clevers we should totally abolish borders' 🤣

[@youhavetogotheretocomeback]

You're insane.
