Thanks Tim! I’ve been wanting to start up a HYSA and now I’m gonna use your recommendation. GREAT PODCAST! Took me a few sessions to get through it all as usual, but GREAT stuff in here and wonderful reminders. ❤ Also, you’re a total catch don’t stress it, keep putting yourself out there and know that you’re worthy of love. You’ll find it- I’m sure of it. I’d date you in a heartbeat but I’m already in a relationship and don’t think you’re polyamorous. 😂. Also, thanks for mentioning that you’re *not* a fan of the fake-ass lips and bullshit SO MANY women, even young women seem to be into. I’m a 41 y.o. female and don’t like it at all, never have- and want to love my aging looks without feeling pressured to “fill” in anything, so thanks for that. Honestly I think there’s a very small percentage of men that actually prefer the hyper enhanced/fake: boobs, lips, whatever. It’s just freaky- so thank you for appreciating true beauty. Don’t be shy about speaking up about that stuff because WE ARE LISTENING. Men and women alike listen to you and your opinions matter.
I just can't buy into the idea that you should never do something that gives you pleasure when you are alone. If everyone followed this advice there would be no great artists or athletes, no awesome achievements. Masterpieces don't happen at parties. Great books, poems, songs are not written when we are hanging out with friends. We need make time to hear the still small voice within that some call the muse. Obviously people and shared memories are also important, but I believe that quiet time alone is necessary and for introverts and artists it is critical .
I love the pleasure of taking a bubble bath and just relaxing into the warm water. That wonderful experience is virtually impossible to have when you aren’t alone. Also, on a more intimate level, self pleasure has helped me a lot in getting over past trauma and feeling more comfortable in my own body. As a result, I became more comfortable with experiencing both pleasure and intimacy with partners. I highly doubt he was considering any nuances when he came up with (or adopted) that opinion, so it probably sounded very profound to him at the time, but realistically it’s not very bright at all
@@jasperjudd Thank you, Jasper, for that intimate sharing. Not having as much courage, I was going to try to make a joke out of my own experience with that - something about that type of alone time giving me my only experiences of release, lol - but it really isn't a joke, and you expressed it beautifully.😍🤗
I totally agree with you, and am really impressed with how eloquently you explained it! 😍 In fact, the only thing I would add is that most of the time, that quiet time set aside to "hear the still small voice within" is extremely pleasurable in and of itself. In fact, I love those moments when I am just sitting and flowing with feelings of deep connection or sometime even "oneness" with what I just call my "Spirit." Those are some of the most memorable, most beautiful, and definitely most pleasurable times in my life. And altho' not impossible - I felt it first at a meditation course among many other meditators - it is still, indeed, much easier to experience when alone. Anyway, thanks for taking the words right out of my mouth and then expressing them so much more eloquently than I probably could have.😉🤗
@@cherylh4688I watched another video earlier today titled “why finding purpose is so hard today” by the channel “HealthygamerGG” that talked about how important alone time is and how connecting with your inner self (through alone time) is the key to finding your purpose in life. I really enjoyed listening to it and found it very insightful! I’d definitely recommend it if you’re interested!
Also I can’t help but question his use of the word pleasure. By Oxford dictionary, the first definition is “a feeling of happy satisfaction and enjoyment.” Given that he says it’s one of the idols that keep you from happiness, and that you need to make sure “you’re getting enjoyment, not pleasure.” I think he’s using the word to imply self gratification, particularly in an over indulging way that borders on addiction. Using it like that, instead of using a better word or further clarifying, kinda gives the wrong message on the whole thing. I mean, the first dictionary definition actually contradicts everything he says about pleasure.
Tim, I have been listening to your shows for almost a decade. I wanted to thank you so much for the amazing gifts you give us in each episode. This one was especially impactful. Thank you so much!
This is one of the rare videos that went straight into my "Great Videos" playlist. It has so much phantastic advice, great chemistry and some intense laughs (seriously, that guy showering in the dark for months had me rolling).
Tim I have to thank you once again for your fearless show of vulnerability! It won me over as an avid listener/reader of your content years ago & it still impressed me today listening to this podcast. Being 45, single & without children, I completely resonated with your comments regarding your frustrations being recently single. The questions you posed would have been my own & I realized your position of fame adds an entire different Pandora’s Box to that equation. Online dating sucks, but I can’t imagine being famous & trying to navigate that arena!!! Sending good vibes & wishing you the best you deserve while fishing in what I call “the septic tank of singledom after 40”. Thank you again for being open to discussing the conundrum of being able to create whatever we want in life, but still struggling to find someone to share it with!
this is my favorite podcast ever- thank you Tim for sharing with us so much wisdom from your guests. We need more podcasts/conversations like these that are truly meaningful for people's lives- we all need to learn more how to be happier- the whole world would benefit so, thank you! ❤
Two things so far as I listen/watch this episode: 1st- I used to play the French Horn. 2nd- I do everything alone. Ok, almost everything. I recently went on a trip to Toronto, by myself. I go to restaurants, concerts, lectures, vacations, the gym, coffee shops...ect., ect. I have friends whom I invite and whom I've made great memories with, but rarely does anyone participate with me in the things I decide to do. I mention Toronto because it was pointed out numerous times and became extremely visible to me on this specific trip how this is true and I never really thought anything of it up until this point. I started to actually look for people around the city who were by themselves and I found none. There were couples, and groups, and people with their pets, and if I did happen to stumble upon someone who appeared to have no one else with them, they had buds in their ears and they were talking to another on the phone... Maybe I'm sharing people and memories with everyone around me but no one in particular. Absolutely I would love to share experiences with someone/people. But if that was a stipulation to having these experiences there's so much I would have and would be missing out on. Again, I haven't thought much of this until now, and although I know this isn't true, it makes me consider if I am alone in being alone.
I went to a treetop walk and zipline yesterday and I seemed to be the only person on my own there. I am the same in that if I had to wait for someone else in my friend and family groups who want to do the same thing I would not do anywhere near as many things that I want to do. :)
I enjoy a lot of what Arthur Brooks is saying about happiness. Unhappiness can be useful in certain situations and there's no point in trying to avoid it completely. I've found it actually allows me to feel positive emotions much more strongly later in the day. Not to mention how much I can learn from difficult experiences by embracing and analyzing them rather than running away from them.
I achieved certain goals I didn't think I could and did so around 5 years ago. Then I delved into neurotic perfectionism and moved the finish line further....but I started to continuously botch things and burn out. There's this point where it actually makes sense to ditch a goal because you aren't that person anymore. We tend to drag ourselves around with awkward and strict identities that make us miserable. Fuck all that noise
Whoa. I was having trouble trying to decide which idol was applicable to me, but Tim's comment about pleasure as an antidote to depression? Ding ding ding! Light bulb moment. It's those moments that keep me coming back to these podcasts. Thanks Tim for being so open about your own struggles. It does help to know there's other folks in the darkness too.
It really depends on what caused the depression. If its a hormonal imbalance then sure i can see the it making sense. But if its a "crisis" in the form of lack of meaning then pleasure wont help at unless its a meaningfull thing. Then meaning is the antidote.
Arthur said that the experience of seeing the sun rise is incredibly awe inspiring, but for me, just the thought of the sun rise brings dread and sadness into my mind...
Thanks Tim for this great interview. Wisdom and knowledge with out love is the key of tru success not the one you idle is rather the road to the path lives it selfs the every smile tier on the road the hand tended to the heart in luck of …. Abundance is what God provides for us all to give and Be selfed Blessed in Jesus who truly Lives in Spirit for all of us⭐️❤️🙏🕊💝
Excellent podcast, Christianity has produced people and works of great intellectual firepower. Real sort of crossroads is via intellect or Spirit. His son going on a life quest so early displays character and curiosity we all can take that lesson.⁹
I've never been a huge fan of podcasts due to having a low sound threshold for each day. This conversation was absolutely beautiful and I just wanted it to keep going. It was incredibly informative and vulnerable. Thank you for the practical tips and reading suggestions that spanned so many different subjects :).
"...More friends, more empathy, more curiosity will get me there" I wish we could save these quotes on readwise. Thanks for the wonderful pieces of wisdom.
"Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love." "Above all, avoid falsehood, every kind of falsehood, especially falseness to yourself." Two excerpts from: The Brothers Karamazov by Fydor Dostoyevsky
Why do you say you’re not funny enough @42:40 this has been one of the most educational and entertaining podcast that I’ve listened to in a long time, love the work Tim & ACB
Hi Carlos! Your dad is fantastic, and you have great taste being a fan of Tim. Both of these men are just brilliant. And thank you for your service too. 🫡
I just wanted to say thanks as well! I really dig your content! You're freaking funny too, man! Helps to break up the "nerding out" with a little humor in there, but you don't over do it. Keep it up!
"I don't know what's going to happen in my future. But I do know I am alive this day and I am deeply grateful for everything that happens, for good and for bad."
Love this podcast, and the guest has definitely done his homework! Very thought-provoking content. I do have a problem with the question -- what would you die for? Does anyone else feel the same way?
Yes. I loved it. I would not die for my country or religion. Those are, as Tim said, too often manipulations by those in power to gain more power or territory. I would die for defense of our freedom, to protect my son, family, an innocent child... ❤
@@LisaDKN I am lucky enough to have grown up in the USA. If our country were to be invaded, I would then have to fight for my own life, and the lives of others. I never think that way, so it doesn't occur to me to examine that belief. Yes, I suppose that I would die for the safety of my loved ones.
Arthur Brooks is walking his talk. This guy has changed more politically and spiritually than most public teachers I've followed. I'm not sure he's a socialist democrat like me but he understands and teaches loving kindness. I just do not understand what you need a God to say all of this stuff on being happier, creating a meaningful life and looking fear of death in life. Maybe he'll drop God in his 60's. Brooks refers to Buddhists who have no God in their world view. Just us. Being outside first thing in the day is awesome way to getting perspective. I'd add send a meditation to trees you walk by. It is a great double play sending out reconnections of gratitude to Mother Earth for life and you benefit for sending and receiving gratitude. The one thing that is missing? Not one mention about racial class warfare in this country, which next to our never talking about war we invest a trillion dollars a year in are the root of a lot of people suffering.
30:00 Sometimes you don't have to fight for life and just appreciate/gratitude of what you have been given. Life is that complex that things are already set in stone. Every atom is in its position/spacing are deliberate and not random.
For secular folks, Carl Sagan's writings and tv can also do that. He talked a lot about how small we are and awe for the universe but also feeling like you belong, you are part of it. I mean astronomy in general--real astronomy science not astrology--but Sagan had a really approachable way to introduce those ideas and still talk about the value of being part of humanity.
Obviously love the content and your never ending authenticity Tim- and just to say I really like the aesthetic of the interview room visual/background etc, cant describe why as I dont have a creative/design eye but pleasure to view as the conversation unfolds
Hi Tim! Thank you very much for all the interesting talks! I love listening to them. Maybe I just don't see it... I would love to get some more information about the books and theories which are mentioned during your podcasts. Is it possible to write a little extract mentioning that and maybe some short bio about the person you are talking to? please excuse if my request is not written in a perfect way. I am Swiss and English is not my mother language :-) Looking forward to your answer!
Just one of the best interviews EVVVHERRR! I am curious: Would anyone happen to have a link to the Rosary plan (for lack of a better term) he says will help after X weeks? As a lapsed Catholic and skeptical agnostic I guess, I would love to have hear him talk ion detail/specifics. THANK YOU!
Predicting market movements is extremely difficult in reality. It requires the investor to be right twice: Essentially why individuals engage service of experts who provide proper strategies to navigate the markets
Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Fergus Waylen's support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams..
What I appreciate about Waylen is his ability to tailor strategies to individual needs. he recognizes that each investor has unique goals and risk tolerances, and he adapts his advice accordingly
His technical analysis is excellent and his interpretation/projections of the market is so accurate I sometimes ask myself if he is human haha. Point is, Waylen is the perfect trader to follow for advise and daily signals.
I like this guy, Arthur. Even though I disagree with some of what he says, I wish him well. Looking at the book reviews thus far, it seems like Oprah's (few) haters are coming out of the woodwork. Perhaps greater emphasis could be placed on the point that having more money will make a person happier if it is helping them to have their basic needs met. Or, perhaps more accurately, it will help them to be less unhappy.
I still don't get what the reverse bucket list is? Is it a list of things you've already achieved or is it a list of your desires and then you start subtracting them?
The idea is to neutralize your wants by ‘detaching’ from them and ultimately, you have fewer wants and more haves. I personally don’t find ‘crossing out’ to be a big neutralizer, however.
Knowing a painful truth is better than living a beautiful lie. I can't remember where I read this. At least I know what I mean to someone, in fact, what I don't mean to someone. Thanks
Respected, intelligent, informative men. However, Thich Nat Hahn was NOT Theravadan, he was in the Mahayana tradition and Zen. VietNam is primarily Zen Buddhism.

Reading alone is pleasure.
“Intention is fine, but attachment is bad”. Perfect.
I think this is my favorite podcast conversation ever.
At the least of recent time, same here.
This was a gem.
Feeling the same here.
I conquer!
Tim, I have been listening to your shows for almost a decade. I wanted to thank you so much for the amazing gifts you give us in each episode. This one was especially impactful. Thank you so much!
He’s making my head hurt. He’s just trying so hard. Can’t he just stop for a minute? Thanks. Love you guys
🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
I. Love. This. GUY!!!!
Thank you, thank you for doing this interview. I’m now going to devour everything this guy has written, and all his interviews.
Amaßàng pòdçaßt thank yòù.Tim Ferris
I am alive love this guy
Arthur Brooks and Tim Ferris! The world was waiting for this conversation 🎉🎯🙌
Wonderful podcast. For me the big takeaway - make depression part of you, learn from it and evolve with that pain. That's a beautiful lesson!
This is one of the rare videos that went straight into my "Great Videos" playlist. It has so much phantastic advice, great chemistry and some intense laughs (seriously, that guy showering in the dark for months had me rolling).

You are not alone in being alone and doing lots and lots of things and generating memories regardless.

The answers to Carlos questions brought uncontrollable waterworks! 😭 This might be one of the most thought provoking interviews, ever.
One of the best podcasts on happiness I watched.

I'm glad he mentioned nature and star gazing as a way to experience awe moments daily. I've never felt so small yet so comforted.
Happiness = Peace of Mind. I did not figure this out until later in life.
Arthur said that the experience of seeing the sun rise is incredibly awe inspiring, but for me, just the thought of the sun rise brings dread and sadness into my mind...
You’re very down to earth for a highly intelligent man!
Thank you Tim. You’ve been nailing it with these recent episodes in my opinion. Both in terms of guests and the content itself. Keep it up!
I could listen to these two riff for eternity.
Thanks Tim for this great interview.

I am here because I listened to the podcast and so into his sharings and I want to see him better. Such an inspiring story!❤
Wow it’s so easy and awakening to listen to this guy. A great listen during traffic.

Love the conversation, it feels effortless and covering a wide variety of topics.
i repeat your comment.
This took Forever to listen to; I stopped to replay and jot down the gems from this discussion! Thank you, both.
Why do you say you’re not funny enough @42:40 this has been one of the most educational and entertaining podcast that I’ve listened to in a long time, love the work Tim & ACB
@1:04:30
Hi Carlos! Your dad is fantastic, and you have great taste being a fan of Tim. Both of these men are just brilliant. And thank you for your service too. 🫡
great conversation I had to save this to watch again and probably several times.
I loved and Shared like crazy the Tom Billeu interview, but now I really want the world to hear this one too.
Fantastic episode. I loved the frameworks he explained
Great convo! I really enjoyed listening to you two.
What I appreciate very much about this guy is that he looks like Peter Lustig. 🌼
A compelling episode and thoroughly enjoyed the riveting yarn regarding the reverse bucket list. Thanks for keeping it light.
Tim may the universe bring you your person!
I just wanted to say thanks as well! I really dig your content! You're freaking funny too, man! Helps to break up the "nerding out" with a little humor in there, but you don't over do it. Keep it up!
"I don't know what's going to happen in my future. But I do know I am alive this day and I am deeply grateful for everything that happens, for good and for bad."
You are special, wonderful and alive.
Good chemistry between you two, the conversation flows. Lot of good insightful information. Thank you❤️
Love this podcast, and the guest has definitely done his homework! Very thought-provoking content.
I do have a problem with the question -- what would you die for?
Does anyone else feel the same way?
I will die for my faith in God.
Yes. I loved it. I would not die for my country or religion. Those are, as Tim said, too often manipulations by those in power to gain more power or territory. I would die for defense of our freedom, to protect my son, family, an innocent child... ❤

"Thank you for the sharing. It's so inspiring. 🙏👍"
Tim, brilliant again. Gratitude. When do you have coach Bob Bowman on your show?
Love this convo
Right off the bat he's explaining and preaching, I just can't

Hi Tim! Thank you very much for all the interesting talks! I love listening to them. Maybe I just don't see it... I would love to get some more information about the books and theories which are mentioned during your podcasts. Is it possible to write a little extract mentioning that and maybe some short bio about the person you are talking to? please excuse if my request is not written in a perfect way. I am Swiss and English is not my mother language :-) Looking forward to your answer!
Just one of the best interviews EVVVHERRR! I am curious: Would anyone happen to have a link to the Rosary plan (for lack of a better term) he says will help after X weeks? As a lapsed Catholic and skeptical agnostic I guess, I would love to have hear him talk ion detail/specifics. THANK YOU!
Predicting market movements is extremely difficult in reality. It requires the investor to be right twice: Essentially why individuals engage service of experts who provide proper strategies to navigate the markets
Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Fergus Waylen's support. This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goals and financial dreams..
I am surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon some of his clients testimonies on CNBC news last week..
What I appreciate about Waylen is his ability to tailor strategies to individual needs. he recognizes that each investor has unique goals and risk tolerances, and he adapts his advice accordingly
His technical analysis is excellent and his interpretation/projections of the market is so accurate I sometimes ask myself if he is human haha. Point is, Waylen is the perfect trader to follow for advise and daily signals.
Sincerely speaking. I will continue to trade and stick to Fergus Waylen daily signals and guides as long as it works well for me.
I just watched this and have never seen Tim so relaxed and humerous.
The guest feels very Jewish--funny. I'm surprised he's Catholic
The value in the "why are you alive" question is interesting in contrast to before mentioned death being "no big tragedy".
..THANK YOU SOO MUCH TIM 🙂😊😌
Thank you both
A French Horn player and a graduate of T. Edison State College. Me too on both!
Someone help me think through this please: How do I build a life that I am proud of while simultaneously wanting less?
Regime change is need in the US and Israel.
45 min in and really enjoying it.
Needed to HEAR this this year. Thanks guys.
I 💘 TIM FERRISS
Silence is the goal.
Thanks for this, seriously.
I like this guy, Arthur. Even though I disagree with some of what he says, I wish him well. Looking at the book reviews thus far, it seems like Oprah's (few) haters are coming out of the woodwork. Perhaps greater emphasis could be placed on the point that having more money will make a person happier if it is helping them to have their basic needs met. Or, perhaps more accurately, it will help them to be less unhappy.
love at first sight does exist,, I met my wife in 1992 and have never left her side.....
Best episode
I still don't get what the reverse bucket list is? Is it a list of things you've already achieved or is it a list of your desires and then you start subtracting them?
The idea is to neutralize your wants by ‘detaching’ from them and ultimately, you have fewer wants and more haves. I personally don’t find ‘crossing out’ to be a big neutralizer, however.
I listened to the audio version and it sounds like Tim Ferriss interviewing Tim Ferriss.
"Let something take you to a deeper place" How interesting.
The abyss has no answers
Loved this episode, learnt a lot!!!
Knowing a painful truth is better than living a beautiful lie. I can't remember where I read this. At least I know what I mean to someone, in fact, what I don't mean to someone. Thanks
Best episode guys!
I haven’t scrolled through the comments but I’m pretty sure there must be some dating proposals for Tim here. If not oh boy I certainly do!
Excellent, thank you both.

Respected, intelligent, informative men. However, Thich Nat Hahn was NOT Theravadan, he was in the Mahayana tradition and Zen. VietNam is primarily Zen Buddhism.
Fantastic content
