In den 70er Jahren stellte Diana Nyad einen Langstrecken-Schwimmrekord auf, der noch immer ungebrochen ist. 30 Jahre später, mit 60, versuchte sie ihre bisher längste Strecke zu schwimmen: von Kuba nach Florida. In diesem witzigen, kraftvollen Vortrag am TEDMED spricht sie darüber, wie man sich mental darauf vorbereitet, einen extremen Traum zu erreichen und fragt: Was werden SIE mit Ihrem wilden, kostbaren Leben machen?

A record-setting long-distance swimmer, Diana Nyad writes and thinks deeply about motivation. Full bio »
