Life taught me about its unfairness by kicking the living shit out of me. I'm glad it did because, otherwise, I'd be lost and unable to cope with reality. As an almost 15 year entrepreneur, stress has tested me to points where I thought it would kill me. I've dealt with extreme insomnia, panic attacks and coped with the loss of loved ones along my way. I worked my ass off to not let that bullshit ruin my life. Thanks for your videos.
Antifragile one of my favourite books of all time. It's like being in life with open arms and accepting whatever may come to be whilst knowing that you won't perish but will actually get better.
this was amazing. at this exact moment I am going through a horrific implosion of a relationship that was very serious and long term this video could not have happened at a better time. you have no idea where my mind WAS and now I can breathe again
Awesome vid, faith and action is massive in eventual anti fragile, avoiding analysis paralysis and working with pain and suffering, to get stuff done, that eventually... often slower than you want, gets a new foundation going that’s superior.
Celestea Deanes. lol well Im sure if theyre paralyzed from the head down they will hopefully become mentally and spiritually stronger. Gotta become stronger one way or another
From my experience, things that don't kill us might make us stronger, but they also change one's perspective, priorities, goals and even mentality to the point that, sometimes, we become quite different from those around us. And that is a double-edged sword in terms of benefit.
Boy have I accumulated battle scars in just about every aspect of my life. They continue to accumulate to this day. But I’m still here so I guess I’ve learned this lesson. I needed to hear this.
Yes Richard life is all about tests and survival. Our experiences are for a purpose. What we choose to discern from those experiences is key. So glad that I had a suggestion to view one of your videos a month or so back, subbed immediately. Great channel sir.
Love your whole style and the way u explain things. So relatable and down to earth. You're so transparent. You're a very unselfish person also because u share and teach to help us become better people. That is rare. You're so sweet and kind.
I've watched several of your videos now and I appreciate the consistent high quality of your content. I always come away with learning something new or feeling validated in what I'm going through. I'm amazed you don't have more views on your videos yet. The views will come in time. Thank you for continuing to upload 👍
and this as well: [He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving (al-mulk)
Good to focus on the positive examples of stress making people stronger, but there are also a lot folks who have been permanently ruined from it. I think both examples are good to keep in mind
For a guy with a strict moral code and blind belief in justice, fairness and honor, letting go of "It's not fair!" was a hard task. But it freed me. Now I see the truth. Now I see that we need the challenges that make us cry out that phrase because overcoming those challenges is what ultimately shapes us into the men we need to become.
Thanks for the video, car dude. As always you get a thumbs up from me. And I'm gonna put Taleb's book on my list of future reads. Anyway just wanted to say that. Gotta leave for work in a minute. Peace & Respect!
excellent. read the book...a great (but not easy!) read...eu-stress and dis-tress...good and bad stress I think they are called...steels us for life...like your idea of LEARN don't lose...it is all a lesson....thanks for your work brother...
Can't wait to listen to the book. The Black Swan is one of my favorite books. Hey Richard...How do you listen to audiobooks without getting distracted? While driving, before bed, while taking a walk???
One of these days Richard is going to be driving his car FAST and you're going to hear sirens and see flashing red and blue lights in the rearview mirror lol and Richards going to say well I have to go for now see you in the next video when I tell you about how much my ticket cost LOL love you man!
Great video man (not just because of the M3--btw, love the growl in the background when you get on it a bit). Going through one of those 'tests' right now--hardest one of my life. Like everyone, I've been tested many times--result = me a stronger person. Persevere is all we can do. It's nice to hear someone else talk about it. Thanks for the morning thoughts, keep up the great vids (try to stomp on the gas more often please:)
I've been talking to my son about things on your videos and I asked him on a scale of 1-10 where he thinks I fall as a woman He said I am low on the scale because I am extremely independent, very strong emotionally and physically plus highly intelligent He said a woman should need a man and be willing to follow his direction rather than challenge his ideas or figure things out for herself I have grown very strong from my life's experience. ... I am far from fragile although I want to be treated as if I am fragile by the man i chose to be with I truly do not need a man but I want a partner
I'd prefer a strong female. Someone that will push me to be more ambitious, or at the very least, not too lazy. There is a time for everything, including relaxation, but one needs a motivational inspiration- and men to women, or vice versa- should provide that for one another. That's my opinion, Ib think it'll work well
Easy to say! Always u learn it hard way only,u always must go thru it,hard true,after u only got antifragile. U can say other person but they cant understand this in deep level. When man go thru this he was expierienced all bad things and good. Thats why older man always advice younger,but younger dont listen,went years by and after they understand what father and grandfather sayd. Every man must expierence it. thats how man is made. sry for my english,im from europe bros.
Hey Rich what are you driving in this video? I couldn’t help but notice how fast you got up to speed when looking at that truck that rolled up beside you
Dude, I love your videos and your awesome sounding car... but you need to go out and buy a Prius specifically for recording videos... I have to turn the vids up so loud to be able to hear you over the car noise, but then my sound system is booming the base note of the car and shaking my house... :)
What's wrong with being bothered? I'm not afraid to admit a guy got my goat. Still doesn't mean anything without actions!? Right? I can be fragile as long as I don't react to that emotion what's wrong? I'll take an L that you so want. give the people what they want!
Yall know nothing about chaos imagine CHAOS in this world being an Paranoid schiozphrenic plus shizho affective plus anxiety. It's like CHAOS at the up most level yall can't handle me brah.
If it had a billion dollars I would set up a field full of 1000 huge glass mirrors and then drive a $1,000,000 Ferrari right through all of them. Then I'd probably cover the ferrair in gasoline and set it on fire while sitting back on a lawn chair sipping on some $2000 champagne and eating caviar out of a 25 karat gold bowl with a pure diamond spoon. Then when the firefighters and the cops show up I would just pay them each $10,000 then slowly walk away while putting on my $2000 shades. Then I'll hop in my Bugatti and drive by the cops and throw another $1000 cash all in 10 dollar bills out my window.
Life is a cruel teacher, gives you the test first then the lesson later
Dawn bruh

Stoicism also seems to come to mind
Bruce Lee says be like water! Fluid in your flow, but powerful when focused! Thanks brother from another mother!
One of my favorite sayings. "Be like water" i tell that to my son a lot.
It's practically what said Lao Tzu centuries ago. I suggest you to read Tao te Ching. It's foundation of Taoism, like Bible for Christian.
This guys like the father I always wanted 😂
Thanks Rich I feel much better now I love when you talk about your own personal experiences like this , bless you man ..Peace
this was amazing. at this exact moment I am going through a horrific implosion of a relationship that was very serious and long term
this video could not have happened at a better time. you have no idea where my mind WAS and now I can breathe again
In a nutshell, "Chaos is not a pit, chaos is a ladder"

"Whatever doesn't kill me makes me stronger"
Paralyzed from the neck down?
Celestea Deanes. lol well Im sure if theyre paralyzed from the head down they will hopefully become mentally and spiritually stronger. Gotta become stronger one way or another
SealTeamRick D99 - It does kill tho
Stephen Hawking? Michael J. Fox? The other Canadian that crossed Canada with no legs to raise awareness?

My new favorite youtuber. Long time Elliot Hulse fan, this is a smooth transition. Background exhaust is very fitting and sounds excellent. Thanks
Your honesty really sells this channel {in my humble opinion} it's much appreciated
Your voice blending in with the spacey background of the car riding on the highway is an aesthetic
Yes Richard life is all about tests and survival. Our experiences are for a purpose. What we choose to discern from those experiences is key. So glad that I had a suggestion to view one of your videos a month or so back, subbed immediately. Great channel sir.
thx
It’s a fine line in being “anti fragile “ & heading for a nervous breakdown... be careful out there my brothers and don’t suck it up in silence.
How are you holding up Bruv!?
The trick is not to drown out stress with alcohol. A lot of divorced guys fall into that trap. It’s tough.
Love your whole style and the way u explain things. So relatable and down to earth. You're so transparent. You're a very unselfish person also because u share and teach to help us become better people. That is rare. You're so sweet and kind.
Thx
Your too verbose. Lol

I'm amazed you don't have more views on your videos yet. The views will come in time. Thank you for continuing to upload 👍
Great book - Taleb is brilliant mind.
Seems like whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Hmmmm where did I hear that before? Good message bro.
Thank you for sharing! what you shared reminded me of this verse: "for indeed, with hardship (will be) ease" - surah inshirah
and this as well:
[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving (al-mulk)
I liked hearing you get them ponys going
Good to focus on the positive examples of stress making people stronger, but there are also a lot folks who have been permanently ruined from it. I think both examples are good to keep in mind
Thank you for a great video. Lately my life has been full of TESTS but I will NOT give up :)

Now I see that we need the challenges that make us cry out that phrase because overcoming those challenges is what ultimately shapes us into the men we need to become.
Thanks for the vid man. Just went through a damn stressful day today. Just the thoughts i needed
Bravo! You are a good man! Just discovered theres other people with similar ideas through your vids. thx for taking your time to do this. T.
Excellent video, really helpful. It’s important to remember that we come out the other side stronger
Mr. Talebs books are great, difficult but great. Antifragile is the best one, imo. Great vid.
dude, keep up the good work! amazing vids and talks, thank you so much.
Great talk from 2016 given today's climate in 2020. Will have to check out the dudes book. thanks!
Thanks for the video, car dude. As always you get a thumbs up from me. And I'm gonna put Taleb's book on my list of future reads. Anyway just wanted to say that. Gotta leave for work in a minute. Peace & Respect!

Thanks man your videos are always full of wisdom
I found this video at the perfect moment.
Can't wait to listen to the book. The Black Swan is one of my favorite books. Hey Richard...How do you listen to audiobooks without getting distracted? While driving, before bed, while taking a walk???

Life is a series of TESTS. True.
Being uncomfortable makes you stronger/better
Could you make a video on things you should know about real estate investing, bonds and or maybe stocks?
+Wasiu Adeyeye Sure
Want that too !
What kind of car is that ? It looks nice from the inside.
Thanks !
its a shit one, a BMW M3.
I've been talking to my son about things on your videos and I asked him on a scale of 1-10 where he thinks I fall as a woman
He said I am low on the scale because I am extremely independent, very strong emotionally and physically plus highly intelligent
He said a woman should need a man and be willing to follow his direction rather than challenge his ideas or figure things out for herself
I have grown very strong from my life's experience. ... I am far from fragile although I want to be treated as if I am fragile by the man i chose to be with
I truly do not need a man but I want a partner
LOL my ex just told me I'm a 10 out of 10 hahaha that is very funny
Nothing wrong with being strong, find a man who can handle it.
I'd prefer a strong female. Someone that will push me to be more ambitious, or at the very least, not too lazy. There is a time for everything, including relaxation, but one needs a motivational inspiration- and men to women, or vice versa- should provide that for one another. That's my opinion, Ib think it'll work well
I hate to break it to you lady, but you're going to be single forever with that mentality. Your son is right.
Wendy Barker how old is your son
Can be summed up by Jocko’s mantra in response to challenge: good.
He gives me the advice in never got from my father...
Excellent message!
have you ever been pulled over while filming
The More I get stress from people the stronger my body gets I turn into a damn monster times 4. Keep getting into the fire.
when you r spouse dies your life expectancy cuts in half. immediately. every year you survive your expectancy exponentially increases.
Great Post 👍

Great content Rich
Big ups Rich
Hey Rich what are you driving in this video? I couldn’t help but notice how fast you got up to speed when looking at that truck that rolled up beside you
Nietzsche knew all about this
1) Create a philosophical view. 2) Get followers. 3) Collect money. Or learn to think for yourself.
Thank you.
very interesting video,keep up the great work!
Whatever happens, happens :) worrying means you suffer twice
Our society is sick. We need a major stress event to wake people up. It looks like it will be coming soon.
If you put "book rewiew" frase in the description, it would be easyer to find.

Dude, I love your videos and your awesome sounding car... but you need to go out and buy a Prius specifically for recording videos... I have to turn the vids up so loud to be able to hear you over the car noise, but then my sound system is booming the base note of the car and shaking my house... :)

I expected more from him on this topic, as it is quite important
In its correct pronounciation it should go like:
Naseem Taulib
Is that a BMW you are driving.
speed kills
What kind of car does he drive
matt d I think it's an x5 BMW
Because all hot girls go to Chaos places
I will drive this car no doubt , first dont let any girls scam my money

Do you really need to make your videos while driving? The noise that you make with your car sometimes is disturbing.
this guy is a show off, really a turn off for me?
