Hacker-Turned-Monk Klaus Neilsen on Ditching Alcohol and How To Find Your Purpose!

If you want to know more about training with me, or watch the free workshop on coaching please go to www.andyramagetraining.com

This week, on The Alcohol-Free Advantage Podcast, a life story to blow your Christmas socks off! By a man, aptly named Klaus!


Klaus Neilsen lives in London as an Executive Coach and Public speaker - nothing too extraordinary about that, you say! …. Until you hear how he got here!


From cyber hacking (one of the worlds largest and most secure systems), to Techno Dj’ing across Europe, to becoming a gaming creator for international tech companies, to packing his bags and heading to India to live and study as a MONK for 8 years - Klaus’s story is arguably stranger than fiction!


Fast forward 8 years, Klaus headed to Europe to share his spiritual teachings - but discovered that something was blocking him from reaching his true spiritual potential - alcohol.


Klaus was left feeling disillusioned and lost, constantly seeking distraction from his life and using Drink and Drugs to escape himself. The decision he made next was to change his world and his Spirit, forever.

I am thrilled that Klaus found some time to talk to us. Since removing alcohol, I have found myself asking some of the ‘bigger questions’ about life - ‘What's the meaning of life? How do we change? How do we begin to explore our own spirituality? How do we find our sense of purpose?’


Klaus helps us to unpick these questions and links them directly to his own experience of removing alcohol coupled with his knowledge of ancient Vedic teachings.


Join us for this conversation packed full of ‘light-bulb’ moments, where we chat about: -


  • The BIG questions around Spirituality
  • How to reverse the habit of ‘seeking distraction’
  • Higher Quality Happiness - How to tap into it
  • The illusion of fun and what authentic joy feels like
  • How our ‘false Ego’s’ can hold us back and how to ‘drop the ball!’
  • The starting blocks for change - What do they look like?


My biggest takeaway from this conversation is that to optimise our lives in all areas, including spirituality, we must find and live in alignment with our true sense of purpose.
