DO THIS To Destroy Your Addictions TODAY! | Russell Brand

Video Description

This is Part 1 of a two-part interview with Russell Brand. Try Russell's online course on recovery for free at https://www.onecommune.com/recovery Very few of us are free from some form of addiction — alcohol, sugar, sleeping pills, sex, Instagram, co-dependent relationships, the list goes on. Russell points out that all our addictions stem from a common problem: spiritual disconnection. But when we admit we have a problem, believe in real change, accept help from others, and hand over our will and control to a higher power, we can begin to find freedom from our addictions. To hear more from Russell, sign up for his upcoming Recovery course on Commune (onecommune.com/recovery) or check out his Luminary podcast, Under the Skin (luminary.link/russell @hearluminary). ABOUT RUSSELL Russell Brand is an award-winning comedian, actor, author, public thought leader and a passionate activist for mental health and drug rehabilitation. He is one of the most recognizable and best-loved comedy performers in the world, with a series of sold-out tours, best-selling DVDs, and a number of major film roles to his name. He is also the author of seven books, including Recovery: Freedom From Our Addictions, and Mentors: How to Help and Be Helped. ABOUT JEFF I have had a lot of jobs: co-founder & CEO of Commune and, co-founder and co-CEO of Wanderlust, board member at Pure Edge. I have authored books, built a wellness studio, developed a retreat center, and created video platforms. Oprah even selected me to be part of the SuperSoul 100, a group of top entrepreneurs. But aside from being a dad to three daughters, there is no job more humbling than hosting the Commune podcast. Every week, I interview people with esoteric expertise who are 10 times smarter than me. My nightstand has turned into a tower of books as I prepare for these interviews, learning everything from the neuro-chemistry of the brain to the inner workings of our justice system. It’s been an incredible challenge to deliver transformational content every Tuesday (and not embarrass myself). I hope you enjoy it!
