Love it. Thoughts about 39:42 Romantic Desirability... You and Jordan Peterson should make a dating app based ONLY on results of personality test 🤷🏻♂️
Lesson 1. We are mammals with no spare food around. Lesson 2. We are "overdue" for another Carrington Event. Lesson 3. Homo Horniness; never plans ahead.
“We sacrifice the thing we want, which is happiness, for the thing that’s supposed to get it, which is success.” Awesome. What happens when you don’t pursue success but happiness? Doesn’t work. Because the pursuit is Beauty. And not in each other.
Genuine brilliant work. A lot of people would either excessively thank their followers, or worse, wallow egotistically on the success. Instead, you've humbly provided this gift to your followers. Generosity and graciousness are fundamental to your success. Congrats on 500, good luck for the next
"The response we have internally to a lot of the things that we dealt with is completely disproportionate to the impact of the thing that we are concerned about"
I swear this is one of the best channels of all youtube, is a shame that my community (hispanic) doesnt have these type of creators, time to become one of them.
You're just absolutely killing it man. One of the best podcasts out there, chalk full of truth, optimism, and genuine curiosity. I like how I've listened to a lot of your episodes and still can't grasp your viewpoint on things nor do I necessarily want to. You let the guests shine through while not allowing them to tread through the same things they've said before.
So many parts of this spoke to me. The knitter who knits. So many times people ask me to doing my knitting or my sewing ias a business but the cost benefit is not worth it. Knitting and sewing came as a destress as in the practice of law and I couldn’t imagine trying to add more stress as a side hustle. And this is one of many hobbies including fitness. Fitness is all about discipline. I have so many friends who complain how they don’t have time to workout meanwhile I have a far busier schedule but I take time to carve out time several times to without regardless whether I feel like working out I workout cause it’s my routine. Great video, always enjoy the episodes.
Thanks! I learned a lot but especially three things: The world sees to be a lot more complicated for young people with TikTok, online dating and all that. We didn't have these things when I was young and not the related problems. Then you quote insights which many of us have just by getting older, growing up and learning from experience. And then there are a few things which are great wisdom which we normally don't stumble upon. And it's great that this kind of wisdom is made public in your videos. Thanks!
The success thing is something I think about often. You asked what makes me thing trying harder will make me happy, when up until now my efforts have been for naught. I don't have a good answer to this, but I also don't have a good answer for it not being true. If you're learning to walk and you stop trying, obviously you'll never walk. Maybe trying harder is exactly what we need to be doing! I don't know. There's gotta be a point where you say you've tried enough, or that you need to adjust how you're trying or what you're trying, as opposed to the implied message of just stop trying.
I love that first one actually... I'm very disciplined but not at all motivated. For example, I've been going to the gym 4-6 times a week for over 10 years now and people are always surprised to find out that I don't like going to the gym. I like what comes from weights training (strength, muscle mass, better health, etc), but I don't enjoy the act of going there and working out. I go because I'm disciplined, but often have to trick myself into going because I'm not motivated to go.
modern wisdom is a gem in the rough. I will do my part to share this podcast. The discussions and the insight, like true insight, I've really applied and found so marvelling to see that they work. I think the direction of this podcast is really nice. One comment I have for Chris and his team is that, for the next 300 or so episodes you mentioned doing, how many of them will be in person? I find your in-person podcasts are where you and the other interviewee shine the best. The nature
I love your work, Chris! I'm motivated by podcasts by you, Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, David Goggins. Individuals talking about resilience, perseverance, hard work, discipline. The difficulty is that all these people are speaking predominantly to a male audience. Yet, this kind of content deeply resonates with me. I'm always striving for growth, for "a call to adventure", but at the cost of more feminine ambitions such as relationships and starting a family. I'm struggling to find a way to reconcile these two opposing pulls, and find myself unable to prioritise one without neglecting the other. I appreciate your insights, truly, and I'll continue to tune in. But I do hope some female voices will make themselves known, to help us ladies understand how to navigate our own, complex journeys.
The simplicity of Happiness is the goal, so why put ourselves through the meat grinder of "Success" to get to Happiness is so clear and powerful. Lots of gems here, thank you Chris
Love the dichotomy of motivation vs discipline and the real world results forming from the latter more than the former. Just do the thing or start doing the thing, rather than waiting for the timing to be right and having the right level of motivation and ideal set of circumstance. Also loved the idea of avoiding stupidity as a balance to searching for/pedistooling intelligence, and using the examples of what we do not want/people we do not want to become as motivation for our pathway through life, in the reverse sense. Thank you for the insights 💚
I feel compelled to say that this is maybe the most useful single podcast I’ve ever listened to. Thank you for your work. You make my work better and more enjoyable.
Absolutely great stuff. Another person who mimics the sentiment of Zack's insight was Georges St. Pierre and his trainer. They always trained harder and more difficult than the fight could ever be.
I'm so looking forward to when you have a family. Not only because I want to see you happy but I'll be so very curious how your perspective changes or not in these various topics. Great podcast show!
Absolutely brilliant format for your 500th episode. I really enjoy listening to your podcast. There is a wealth of information you are bringing to people who are willing to listen!
Congrats on the episode milestone! Been following your content for a year or two and love the grounded, quality conversations over a variety of subjects.
You CAN control mind with mind. While doing thinking or creative work (while you wouldn't want to) and you solve a small problem pat yourself on the back. Literally. Let the few second of happiness bubble in you before it fades away. Do this with all your feelings. Giving yourself time to enjoy and feel the feelings and sensations. It is essential for the creative progress and feeling heals your body and that does help your mind in everything.
What a amazing podcast Chris you’ve created and with my very favorite guests.Your conversations and questions are engaging and well thought out educational and entertaining.Thank you I’ve learned so much.I look forward to more great content and your continued well deserved success!
Mate, congrats on making it to the 500 mark. Confuses said something about every man being a teacher, so, with that in mind thanks for all the lessons. Even these milestone QandA's or the ones you've done with your mates have been interesting. I always find little nuggets of wisdom listening in even if I completely disagree with person you're interviewing. I really try and learn something from each episode. I Started listening about two years ago and I really appreciate the podcast. I found Scott Alexander's work through listening too so a big thanks for that as well. Best of luck moving forward hopefully you find even more success than you already have. Cheers and thanks from Australia, well from this Aussie me at least 😂 P.S. Moloch will love the continued sacrifices on the altar of progress😂😂
Thank you for this!! I so needed this reminder to not base self-worth on subjective likes and instead remain focused on the action made. Do you want to be somebody or do something? LOVE it! Another big nugget and take away for me was the idea of productivity dysmorphia. Such a great way shift in perspective. This video is definitely the time and attention. Thank you! 🙏
great content! I love your accent ;) I especially liked what you said about how I can take people from my family/surroundings that do not have the same mindset as I as examples of how not to life my life. thanks for this video summary and congratulations on 500 episodes ;)
Interesting on the creativity. I currently do that too. I limit my options. For one project, I might be like "Okay, I'm focusing on the colors yellow and purple with triangle and pyramid shapes. The end result is always something totally unique. You also learn so much in the process that you wouldn't use if you didn't restrict your options.
I feel when you have a negative example it can help only so far. If he is your primary caregiver and can't support or doesn't even recognize the moments where a little encouraging would help the end result is low selfesteem and incapability to take on the world. Bad example is something to stay away from but positive example can lift you up and encourage to take one from many possibilities. Bad example can leave you stuck and aimless.
You always give such a fresh take on conventional wisdom and such clear examples to make it applicable to real life. If you can, please try to talk a bit more about the harder, more depressing subjects of life though... a lot of your work seems like it's only there to help already-successful entrepreneur types get more financially successful, and not so much to help those struggling in other ways be mentally more successful, (regardless of financial issues). Keep up the good work!
This is a very cool episode, the discipline over motivation, and the training for the difficult are both examples that I've worked with when writing my novel The Buddha and The Wolf, and great to hear this ideas expressed so eloquently, great work Chris!
Enjoyed this A bit of pushback on idealogical signals. Initially, these may just be signals, however the more often someone repeats them, the more likely they are to become actual beliefs. The more often you scream and shout an idea, the more likely you are to pound it into your head.
The happiness vs success quote is great for not being so hung up on the next achievement that you a) don't celebrate your success sufficiently and b) don't appreciate the 99% which is the journey. With regards to the carrot and stick methodology (figuratively of course 😀) I think it's a double-edged sword because besides IQ, the next best predictor for success is grit. If you don't orientate yourself/your children towards contending with difficult accomplishments, you/they will not become comfortable in the inevitable struggle coming your/their way if they refuse to coast along with the bare minimum. Comfort zones only get bigger by stepping outside of them.
11:06 thats a very good point that ive been thinking fr a while Thats why madhyamaka is the key to escape that suffering. 24:24 the point of meditation is to realise that you cant control the mind with the mind or with your body. THere is no thinker behind thoughts, the thinker is a thought just like any other thought process. maybe check out the works of Jiddu krishnamurti. It is really worth your time Chris. As Adi Shankara said - The knower cannot be an object of knowledge just as fire doesn't burn itself
love your comparison between bodybuilding and powerlifting, i feel the same it's too subjective you can make a case for someone to be at the top and a week later the same dude gets 5th place, not to mention the genetics and frames that are an inate advantage for some of them.
Thanks, I am still watching and I learned already. I think it would be great if you could include the names of the people and/or links in your description. Sometimes it's not easy to guess how to spell those names and some people, like me, don't know about any trends on Twitter and other social media. Thanks!
A lot of interesting takeaways. There was a trend that the only way to be successful is to be highly specialized and to grind more than others. However, I have seen a lot of smart people find niches that were being ignored by others. Another point is that I consider myself to be a "multipotentialite" which is often ignored as a skill or good quality. There is an advantage to specializing in a topic, but as the world advances, specialties are becoming so niche that only a few people in the world would understand your PhD title. Hubberman is a good example of a person who actually covers a broad spectrum of topics.
I think knowing what a person truly values is important. And, of course, it’s usefulness as a companion choice if I am aware of what is most important to me. I really don’t think physical traits, other than initial attraction, matters much as all.
Yes there does seem to be a war against excellence. I believe it's been an slowly ongoing issue through the human races addiction to always be chasing convenience, quick fixes, and the controversial opinion that the secret to success is found by those that choose early to make their purpose in life to follow their passion rather than conforming to societal norms. So today the spite against those who are successful and who choose to pursue excellence is do to impatience and the addiction to immediate gratification and though heightened jealousy of those that are secure in their identity.

Wisdom per minute ratio is through the roof in this episode 🔥 well done.
Lesson 1.
We are mammals with no spare food around.
Lesson 2.
We are "overdue" for another Carrington Event.
Lesson 3.
Homo Horniness; never plans ahead.
Soooo, which one was based on Sam Harris?
“We sacrifice the thing we want, which is happiness, for the thing that’s supposed to get it, which is success.” Awesome.
What happens when you don’t pursue success but happiness? Doesn’t work. Because the pursuit is Beauty. And not in each other.
"The goal of life should be to maximize your freedom to do the things that you want all the time." Brilliant!
Genuine brilliant work. A lot of people would either excessively thank their followers, or worse, wallow egotistically on the success. Instead, you've humbly provided this gift to your followers. Generosity and graciousness are fundamental to your success. Congrats on 500, good luck for the next
Brilliant! Almost all of your successes in live will come from avoiding being stupid, rather then trying to be super smart! Truly wise!
"The response we have internally to a lot of the things that we dealt with is completely disproportionate to the impact of the thing that we are concerned about"
I swear this is one of the best channels of all youtube, is a shame that my community (hispanic) doesnt have these type of creators, time to become one of them.
I feel that man 🙏🏼
Agreed.
Not criticizing… but what is the difference in the race if the person… content is what we tune in for
You're just absolutely killing it man. One of the best podcasts out there, chalk full of truth, optimism, and genuine curiosity. I like how I've listened to a lot of your episodes and still can't grasp your viewpoint on things nor do I necessarily want to.

Amazing! First time listening to Chris Williamson (recommended by my son) and I am sold! Great mahi, lots of takeaways, absolutely solid.

"It's more important to avoid destruction than to chase success". Oh boy, I felt that one.
I love that first one actually... I'm very disciplined but not at all motivated. For example, I've been going to the gym 4-6 times a week for over 10 years now and people are always surprised to find out that I don't like going to the gym.

Search demartini values linking, that’ll help it come more naturally
How do you trick yourself?
The negative bias is no longer serving us bit at 31:29 is brilliant 🤌🏼

This is probably one of the best videos Chris has done thus far. Goes to show what 500 episodes has done to his ability to share insightful content
The simplicity of Happiness is the goal, so why put ourselves through the meat grinder of "Success" to get to Happiness is so clear and powerful. Lots of gems here, thank you Chris
What a wonderful job you have done with this episode to brought these subjects all together in an hour summary . 💪🏻
Thank You For everything man
That was a beauty! Thanks for consolidating all the little gems of your 'journey'. Cheers ...Will
Much love Chris, appreciate all you do. Congrats on the milestone!
Self discipline wins out every time.
Love the dichotomy of motivation vs discipline and the real world results forming from the latter more than the former.

I f***ing love this show. So dense information. Thank you so much.
I will listen to this episode several times.
Genuinely one of my favorite podcasts along with Lex Fridman and Andrew Huberman. Keep up the great work Chris
Thanks a ton! For the concise value
Awesome compilation mate - quote comes to mind "It's taken ten years to become an overnight success"
Well done !! best wishes from Ireland☘☘☘☘
Thank you so much.
Frickin awesome stuff thank u bro ❤️

Bravo. Fantastic keys to learning yourself.
This is a great video.He talks about what many cannot Express or are even consciously aware of...Cool.
Congrats Chris! 👏👏👏

What a amazing podcast Chris you’ve created and with my very favorite guests.Your conversations and questions are engaging and well thought out educational and entertaining.Thank you I’ve learned so much.I look forward to more great content and your continued well deserved success!

Chris Thank you for this.
Congrats Chris. I really value your channel. I think your interview style is great and you deserve to be right up there with the best.

This episode was so layered and full of information. Brilliant work mate...👏
And now you are on the road to 1000. Great recap and keep doing good job.
Great video. I take away a lot from these summary videos. Thank you!
Great video Chris, you should do it every 500 episodes.
Thank you for this!! I so needed this reminder to not base self-worth on subjective likes and instead remain focused on the action made. Do you want to be somebody or do something? LOVE it!
Another big nugget and take away for me was the idea of productivity dysmorphia. Such a great way shift in perspective.
This video is definitely the time and attention. Thank you! 🙏
A fantastic summary. Have really been enjoying your podcast, great stuff 👏🏽
Motivation is only a short term "state" that relatively quickly fades. It is good for getting the fire started, but it can't sustain it.
Really well done on the success, Chris. You'r voice is easy to listen to and your content is top notch too mate. Crack on!
Great work Chris .you are amazing. 👍
I'm excited for this episode. I have my pen and paper ready...
great content! I love your accent ;)
I especially liked what you said about how I can take people from my family/surroundings that do not have the same mindset as I as examples of how not to life my life. thanks for this video summary and congratulations on 500 episodes ;)
thank you for sharing Chris, really enjoy your content and it helps me
keep up the amazing work!!
Interesting on the creativity. I currently do that too. I limit my options. For one project, I might be like "Okay, I'm focusing on the colors yellow and purple with triangle and pyramid shapes. The end result is always something totally unique. You also learn so much in the process that you wouldn't use if you didn't restrict your options.

Not enough like buttons... Thank you!
Bookmarked this one! 👍
Enjoyed this
A bit of pushback on idealogical signals. Initially, these may just be signals, however the more often someone repeats them, the more likely they are to become actual beliefs. The more often you scream and shout an idea, the more likely you are to pound it into your head.
Great episode Chris! Always great advice from you!!
Congratulations. Keep it up. We need you💯💯
This.is.gold
The happiness vs success quote is great for not being so hung up on the next achievement that you a) don't celebrate your success sufficiently and b) don't appreciate the 99% which is the journey.
With regards to the carrot and stick methodology (figuratively of course 😀) I think it's a double-edged sword because besides IQ, the next best predictor for success is grit. If you don't orientate yourself/your children towards contending with difficult accomplishments, you/they will not become comfortable in the inevitable struggle coming your/their way if they refuse to coast along with the bare minimum.
Comfort zones only get bigger by stepping outside of them.
11:06 thats a very good point that ive been thinking fr a while
Thats why madhyamaka is the key to escape that suffering.
24:24 the point of meditation is to realise that you cant control the mind with the mind or with your body. THere is no thinker behind thoughts, the thinker is a thought just like any other thought process. maybe check out the works of Jiddu krishnamurti. It is really worth your time Chris.
As Adi Shankara said - The knower cannot be an object of knowledge just as fire doesn't burn itself
Outstanding ❤️
really love your content Chris and congratulations! i'd strongy recomend getting Joker from Better Bachelor on as a guest
The first one was why the Nike slogan was pure genius: just do it.
love your comparison between bodybuilding and powerlifting, i feel the same it's too subjective you can make a case for someone to be at the top and a week later the same dude gets 5th place, not to mention the genetics and frames that are an inate advantage for some of them.
This is great 💯
Limbically hijacked! Love that
Thanks, I am still watching and I learned already. I think it would be great if you could include the names of the people and/or links in your description. Sometimes it's not easy to guess how to spell those names and some people, like me, don't know about any trends on Twitter and other social media. Thanks!
Congrats!
Спасибо за здравый смысл ; )
53:38 The Reverse Role-Model
Amazing
A lot of interesting takeaways. There was a trend that the only way to be successful is to be highly specialized and to grind more than others. However, I have seen a lot of smart people find niches that were being ignored by others.
Another point is that I consider myself to be a "multipotentialite" which is often ignored as a skill or good quality. There is an advantage to specializing in a topic, but as the world advances, specialties are becoming so niche that only a few people in the world would understand your PhD title. Hubberman is a good example of a person who actually covers a broad spectrum of topics.
Imagine spending a year fully embodying all of these points. Or even a life.
Jordan Peterson might envision Heaven as the world where every human is embodying these and other virtuous principles
The world that would result*
amazing
beautiful content
Brilliant
I think knowing what a person truly values is important. And, of course, it’s usefulness as a companion choice if I am aware of what is most important to me. I really don’t think physical traits, other than initial attraction, matters much as all.
Thanks for watching

Yes there does seem to be a war against excellence.

So today the spite against those who are successful and who choose to pursue excellence is do to impatience and the addiction to immediate gratification and though heightened jealousy of those that are secure in their identity.
