Hi Andrew - this was a great synthesis of the human spirit and mind. I really appreciate your work and the interview; Dr. James summarizes in an objective way the journey of the human soul, it is a great explanation of the soul through the current 2024 lenses of science and society. The practice of the Orthodox Christian religion, the oldest Christian religion, fills in the gaps and missing questions. Both of you are illuminated, but there is a higher step, when you seek the divinity and divinity illuminates you and you get the certainty of life after death and a lot more. Thank you for your great work and I hope God will iluminate you with his wisdom.

At 84, Dr. Hollis' mental/verbal clarity and speed is exceptionally high. It's inspiring.

[@eliteboxfitness]

Very true. Clarity and cadence is excellent ..we get skewed by low standards . Really if one is consistent abd takes care of themselves as well as a little luck one should be cognitively sharp and physically mobile

1. What are the stories we are living? 2. We live reacting to everything that happens to us. Do we have other options? 3. I'm accountable for what I have lived so far. 4. Everything is conditionable. Everything has a condition. 5. Serving the self is not selfish. 6. What does one really want? 7. Reflecting on my dreams with coffee every morning. 8. Psychology in Greek: 'Pay attention to the soul.' 9. Escape from any stimulus. Everything is a stimulus. 10. Find the place. Tolerate being with yourself, and if you really pay attention, something will start coming up. 11. Healthy response to whatever life brings up. 12. Look for people that can see what we cannot see. 13. Taking responsibility for my shadow and stop blaming others. 14. You become larger than what happened to you. 15. When you are done with your fears, the fears of others won't be so threatening. 16. Is this your life or someone else's? Some people just keep living reactively. 17. Tell me not your politics or your religion, tell me your suffering. 18. Pay attention, honor what emerges, and have courage to deal with it. We can live in a different way.

I’ve spend the past day and a half just listening, pausing and rewinding the first 35 minutes. There is wisdom within this man that takes a lifetime to attain. I feel like I’m listening to someone speak in epiphanies. You’re the man Dr. Hollis thanks for the knowledge.

[@drinkapavlovic]

I watched this for two days with maximum concentration and repetition. What a great conversation! Isn't it the best here so far? The truth was given so much life by Dr Hollis' calmness and experience. That's wonderful, isn't it? An old man that has much more curiosity than a younger one. Wisdom plus curiosity poetically combined with knowledge. I was touched to the bottom of my soul. God please give me a part of this wisdom🙏

To breeze through an almost 3 hr podcast, and crave more, says something. My biggest takeaway was the idea that something did indeed shift in me when I passed 35, and I am not alone in that internal search. I’m going to download Dr. James Hollis’s book on audible’ “Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life.” It is included in the audible membership, if anyone else is interested. Thanks, Dr. Huberman for another fabulous podcast.

[@pietrofalcowork98]

I got hit by psychosis and depression at the beginning of my twenties. It took me some time to heal and align to the purpose of my soul. I had to let go of ego's expectations and find my natural flow. Still work to do but existential suffering is now taken care of and I don't question anymore all the meaning when something challenging happens. Summarizing my experience i would say that i had to let go of my mind and use a deeper wisdom based on trust and listening. I suggest that everybody cultivates this side of them in order to be more flexible and ready in the face of lifes hard and unexpected challenges, this offers a healthy coping mechanism and adaptation strategy, that you can apply to anything in life... so it is worth trying.

[@GOD999MODE]

These kinds of discussions that delve deep into matters of the mind and spirit are way too underrated. The guest doctor talks with such clarity and eloquence about these matters that it really helps the listener contemplate along with. Truly one if the best episodes yet in my opinion. A lot of people are suffering from their vices, weaknesses, misperceptions, unconscious scripts, etc. So many folks feel powerless to their emotions and maladaptations. It's difficult work to undo and unravel it all, especially without access to deeply skilled and caring therapists.

100% his information has improved my sleep

[@michellegill2359]

Speaking for myself, this is literally one of the best discussions I have heard in the podcast realm.

He's as old as my Dad. I miss our many heartfelt discussions. Thank you for your wisdom, Dr. Hollis.

in awe and admiration....Such wisdom spoke in a clear way. Just finished this, but i'll ear it again and take notes. Thank you Dr. Andrew and Dr James Hollis.

[@EcomCarl]

Dr. James insights on self-reflection and understanding our deeper motivations are invaluable, especially for anyone on the journey to self-improvement. It's a reminder that our past and our inner landscape shape our life's path more than we often recognize. 🌱

[@tb8827]

Indeed they do.

[@ardoren5442]

@hubermanlab This might be the wisest guest you've ever had on your podcast. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to listen and learn from his wisdom. It's an honor, and it truly showcases the "great side" of the Internet.

One of the best pods I've listened to in a long while, and not just from Huberman, but the podcast world as a whole.

[@jewelnahabedian4006]

I listened to this a week before a huge bomb got dropped on my life during an already extremely difficult year. I have listened to this podcast probably more than 15 times and started reading Dr. Hollis books. I have navigated this time in my life with more clarity and grace thanks to this podcast and being introduced to Dr. Hollis work. Thank you Dr. Huberman! P.s. - you have the influence to get Dr. Hollis and Jordan Peterson in the same room and it would be a great service to humanity ❤

I am grateful to be able to listen to these amazing podcasts, and yet feel guilty that I live a life of comfort and ease that allows me to contemplate these great topics while other people are struggling to stay alive

[@blueridge8992]

Please don’t take it for granted. I was in the same boat until last year when I became one of the >200k tech workers that got laid off. 15 year career over with zero notice. Anything can happen. Wring the most out of your life like it ends tomorrow!

You can tell he made a mark on huberman (and me) during this one. I can see the struggle, pain, and trauma in his eyes. Hope this therapy session brought you some tranquility. To everyone else struggling, keep your head up and keep on fighting. Thx for the therapy session.

[@crud1101]

MORE. MORE, MORE with Dr. James Hollis discussions we ALL need to hear.....insightful, meaningful, a value to humankind!

[@charlottealbagnac9018]

This episode is a diamond amongst the WEB information clutter. I will keep it and come back to it as much as I can. I could listen Dr. Hollis for more several hours. In 4 days I am going to my first 10 days Vipassana course and I will watch this episode again before I go. Thank you so much Dr Hubermann.

[@carolyna7786]

Thank you so much for having Dr. James Hollis share his wealth of information. There's so much information to choose from, it's hard to know what is the most beneficial in the long run. I have found, in the past 52 years since I started my first question, that the answers do manifest, on the path I have chosen to follow. At first it was with faith, courage and discipline. Eventually the direct experience happened. And it's still evolving. It always will.

[@TheAlfons1966]

I feel wonderstruck, deeply moved and grateful by this glimpse at the wisdom of Dr. Hollis. THANK YOU

[@SajadSaifi-tm5ju]

I really appreciate Andrew for bringing the best and knowledgeable people to his podcast and teaching us how we need to live our lives delightfully. And I would like to thank James for his gift that sharing them with us. He is a legend 🙌. God bless you all ❤

[@bobbiesboatsauce]

I've been appreciating your work for a long time but the fact that you brought Dr James Hollis on has shot me into the comments section. Dr Hollis's writing has unlocked so much for me, as has this conversation. Thank you!
