almost trauma and flooding your pollutant were 2 part documentary analyzes the difficult relationship between russia and the us and between their presidents how does their rivalry and their dangerous mutual admiration affect the rest of the world to some bullies true been proven starts august 3rd on d w. hello and welcome to good shape do you have as many imperfections as i do my body fat and my resting heart rate are too high i'm also not satisfied with the way i process my stress and i manage my time and i really have to do something about my wrinkles and i could be much more effective in my job and i also don't spend my leisure time in

an optimal way and if i could get myself to drink more green tea i would be in better shape and more efficient and what about you are you working on yourself optimisations like me so what's the point can we be perfectly happy and can we be happy lee perfect. i'm eating paper feed she signs journalist and she's written a book with a great title how good should i be and this is my 1st question how good should i end up being should end up being as good as you want to be and that is. ok but right now we're living in the age of self optimization counting all the calories we're trying to go out for run and so on so why do you think this is the age of soap opera as a show because people comparing themselves with as a all the time and if you come up with dozens of people and you're only one then

you have to live. do you have a pat did you happen to see a dog sitting in front of the mirror for hours grumpy because he's unhappy about his appearance also cat ever worried about how you might feel about her we humans are different we always want to be better than we are with this human nature it's always been like that but today it has become something more an obsession self to. we went to sleep better work better better and live better. you get everything for this is never enough can you. can't there's always something i can get down. below you've got this in the system demands says total success for you for the speech that. they.

have self optimisation oh man. * it's just. a couple talks for head i had my cheeks done once to. chin. lips a browser lives on and my jaw here they firmed up my job. and. i think that's all. ready to go. yes now you're in the rhythm i can't get up come i also. would get out of this but if this is what you're seeing here don't try this at home

. this is basically a commercial freezer. if you can do what we got there for degrees. it should be around 0 to $2.00 degrees. thank. goodness if you've been in for a minute now. that's. what a funny idea so what do you seem right why is somebody using a freezer full to musician. thinking off ice cream that has always been comfort when you feel troubled a child all resumes you think ice cream is more like seeking comfort and to get some reward for the soap optimisation yeah it's a reward and it's also like a security line in the world that feels so much in

a world that feels like i am not in the house so i'm trying to improve so i'm safe in this but i would put myself into a freezer i mean this hurts this is painful why do i have to optimize myself over the trash old physical pain. so maybe what's missing is somebody that says stop somebody that's caring for you and that's who says no don't do that you're good enough you already have done so much and you are good in this world and that's . somebody that is against your own thinking you have a kid you might say this but when i think of myself i'm very hard on my health but i'm not as hard on you so why am i so hard on myself and making other people be a better friends for yourself that is kind of that's part of the solution be a better friend for yourself and ask yourself ok if

a friend was here now and i was saying this i was thinking this what would he or she say and then you can give yourself the answer because you already have it in you ok but if i really want to give it a girl and so forth to raise myself i really need some professional to help me like a personal trainer. i love the money. i'm 36 years. i studied sports science in both woman i've lived and worked as a personal trainer in berlin for the past 12 years and as a personal trainer i aim to help my clients attain the best possible level of physical mobility and. i 1st try to define what my clients want to achieve they each have their own specific goals which can vary widely for some clients it's about losing weight

others want to build strength and grow muscles everyone wants to be able to look in the mirror and feel good about themselves so i set up a training plan and then we get to work on. exercise and fitness are not always the primary goals of training and optimization . i often work with my clients on stress management or nutrition those can be issues that need a lot of attention and all work and. it's not just about doing an exercise i once twice or 3 times a week and feeling that you can take the self optimization box for many of my clients there are all kinds of other issues sleeping well that organizing it optimizing their work life or their family life i try to help with that i'll bounce

ideas off them and offer support is best i can. best. begins autumn and you should always start by defining your goals what would make you happy and you shouldn't let social media and other people's opinions influence you too much think about what else. i would like to look like and how you might get there a personal trainer can be of assistance but you can also read up on the matter yourself or get advice and support from your family or perhaps your colleagues and then chart your own course. in our high pressure society optimization can be a never ending quest once you obtain your i got weight you then want bigger muscles or lose even more weight you might even have a dream job but creative promotion i think you should always take things one step

at a time and reflect on what your next goal might be all and work towards that without piling up a whole bunch of goals and down patients stay focused try to sometimes just feel content and with that goodbye just. when you watch t.v. commercials or take a look at the industry wants to tell us you're not good you have to buy the new better so do you think this health optimisation is not from me but it's brought to me from the outside from rather companies exactly this is how making money works in the well right now so 5. companies the most money if we feel bad we're willing to spend more and we're willing to spend more on things that we probably don't need to advertise in that manner that makes us feel bad it's the best way to make money right now ok but if i get better if i get smarter more handsome and so

yeah it makes me feel good so what's so bad about it no it's great do it think about that you say that. makes me not happy yet it makes you happy if you do too much so you get used to being a person that constantly works on himself so you do this you do that and you try to be strong in the squad and try to be prepared for everything. but it won't work because. it's something new that comes out so you get on the pressure to do more and more and more and that's a lot of stress. if you want to be perfect all around tried by a. well you go by. the following you think if you want to be flawless you have to be honest with yourself. concentration performance sucks ass to keep up with the demands of everyday life we need to optimize our body

the thinking behind how movement cool biohacking martens we want to challenge our bodies to make them more resistant. stiffle is wearing a special mask that makes breathing more difficult. it's intended to strengthen his diaphragm this is g.m. biohacking is that you push yourself on the one hand to find out where your limits are so that you can go beyond them then on the other hand you try to come back to a flow state to relax. after training he regenerates at a so-called. here you can find all kinds of equipment including the recovery that work for compression. you know you depending on how you program them you get a total partial foot massage. which can flush out lactic acid and other build up. if you so. you know it's so relaxing when the air goes out and your blood rushes

back in. then it's on to the next thing. i turn on the red light briefly. grid like therapy is designed to reenergize the body and boost performance. while you can feel all your cells going. it's like something without thinking. after his regeneration session my head home there he tells us how he got into biohacking. this was my birthday 6 years ago i turned 34 and i was just burned out i was gaunt had no. no in durance and i couldn't focus on anything more kind of consequence from scott he says biohacking helped him overcome the burn eyes. and i had to find a solution for my life so i tried out various biohacking techniques i improved my

diet did more exercise i focused on my digestive health especially and work to improve my sleep. before he goes to bed he noticed switches off his wife eye and makes sure he drinks enough fluids. he wears a special plaster to force him to breathe through his nose it's supposed to improve his sleep he wears it all nice. but could not be harmful. tamari is a doctor specializing in sports medicine you took a look at our footage despite the commune's on my own hiking in it's mild form where they do most sports have a healthy diet and get sufficient sleep it's certainly a positive thing but the more advanced version especially with this breezing risk is more dangerous. to describe someone using this be under the supervision of a sports dr sport. biohacking is perhaps not suitable

for everyone but it seems to have helped. to find a way of burnout. is about just a secret between the 2 of us to try to optimise yourself sometimes a bit perhaps yeah that had to run and it's not going very well to try to optimize a little bit at what you stop a friend who says to you well i want to have a tummy tuck. talk to her. and the lying feeling is that she feel bad that she feel insecure when i stopped her though because i'm not friends but i was one to be there for her and see if i can do something to make us feel better right so you try to advice or is it better to just be your friend you just told me you started to run and it's not going very

well but i'm running myself and it's going very well because i'm trying to optimize myself every single day counting my steps my calories that you can have my blood tested some time with a little tiny chip inside my skin so do you think i've got an obsession. yeah sounds definitely have an obsession there but i can also see you that still happy so that's not a problem that's a good thing. well the perfect body is important you know but what about our brain ok our brain is good well at least. bad with the latest technology you can even and hence your brain it's called brain hacking. knew harbison had his own brain 14 years ago he had an antenna attached with sco he was a walking living cyborg harbison is completely color blind the sensor registers colors which are then translated into

a range of audible vibrations he can feel hear. it also allows him to hear light wavelengths that other humans cannot see. change the way i see lives and i perceive i feel more connected to nature now because i sense infrared and ultraviolet which exist in nature i feel more connected to other species a sense with species that can feel ultraviolet. and infrasound i feel more connected to the cause. and feel the colors from space so it makes me feel more connected to reality to nature and to other animal species. just 5 years from now we'll all be upgrading our brains with technology that's according to. the high tech entrepreneur who co-founded the electric vehicle manufacturer tesla he also oversees research into turbo charging our brains.

journalist and former professor of communication sciences is fascinated by the idea of enhancing creativity and thought processes using brain hacking but she says. she's the worst. be this most of us we do know something about the brain but not a lot before we're starting to try to optimize it before we really understood it the brain is the seat of everything that makes us human emotions love identities personality intelligence to go in there and perform some technical manipulations to achieve a certain outcome. that's pretty borderline or even a step too far as a consequence of. she did try out transcranial direct current stimulation a low voltage current is passed through the brain it's fans say it makes you better at a range of activities. and funny will back the effect was pretty immediate wasn't for

a long time i couldn't eat i felt really sick and i couldn't sleep i felt totally wide awake but not in a good way for it was unpleasant and in the midst of course medical science is exploring ways to cure diseases by means of intervening in the brain diseases such as alzheimer's and depression. the brain game project develops brain computer interfaces this woman was able to move a robotic arm and take a drink thinking about moving her paralyzed on. to understand what that kind of research is entirely different from efforts to hack your way into more cognitive capital using electric currents drugs or implants to improve yourself to join the upper class of the cognitively enhanced. that's all about trying to acquire opportunities and advantages for yourself it's

a hobby. some fans of so called cognitive enhancement use drugs such as ritalin or l.s.d. in micro doses. they say they make you why do we. can put you in a great mood and let you work with ease and efficiency. disappears only to come it's not unproblematic if we use meds in order to cope with the ever tough and demands of a competitive society to be able to keep up cognitively and people are under ever greater pressure you mention. if we resort to using substances brain or neuron handsome and in order to meet those challenges and handsome and hence we are resorting to means that were not intended to be used for that purpose then question the not so much money and ethical markets and. what's more these attempts to boost mental performance are not based on solid science and

have many ethical and social implications. well we talked about optimization of our body of our brain and how we have to talk about beauty well i don't have to do anything because i'm a natural in 2017 almost 24000000 cosmetic operations were performed well light those procedures used to be expensive and complicated but today it's more quick and easy like beauty to go in our beauty is big business the internet is full of videos about transforming your look at adverts for cosmetic surgery as if it were the most normal thing in the world. this beauty parlor cum cosmetic surgery practice in 0 welcomes between 40 and 80 clients and patients a day of all shapes and sizes. it offers all manner of treatments from

you know i see many young people they've probably been influenced by what they see in various shows on television or videos on you tube the numbers are definitely rising. they're more open to the idea ready to think about what they might get out of it you're free undergo a medical cosmetic treatment to be. 24 year old you need a shower visit her cosmetic surgeon at another clinic several times a year to have her lips done. meant to me. she says she does it for herself. and. i always wanted to have big lips. then a colleague of mine got hers done and she inspired me to do the same. i

like to see it 1st in others in people i know. in my. in russia we say beauty saves the world i found that has great meaning it says i want. to be perfect i'm a perfectionist. millions of people around the world put up with the blood and the pain you know to change the way they look and the number may well be growing. if you always try to optimize yourself this is a lot of stress and stress is not very healthy i know this because i'm a doctor yet that's why south of them is a self won't help if you always try to improve yourself you'll get used to the feeling of being a person that's not ready for his own life that's why i always focusing on the things. i'm missing in myself which are bad not all the good things of all my

resources so why use it that way because you're used to it where you to look at the moments in the day that were bad the moments that really tell a friend or a family about so if you're just saying it's that and then you get used to thinking about those moments that were great and probably said you worked out really well then that changes fundamentally but. but but very hard to be done and how can i change it how can a focus on all the good things in the focus of just the right words. to look at the things that were good in the day and to make them bigger in your own. in the way that you would tell a day in the end ok so so it's like mindfulness yet it's also. it's a new habit of looking at your day and self and friendly way and that in
