@@MajorJonny - Not just that. It is combination of what life is throwing at you, how you react to it, being happy and cheerful no matter what, and... of course money. But in his case, he didn't have money at the beginning. And showbusiness is brutal, so who knows what he was going through at the beginning, that he is not talking about, and maybe nevel will. But he always had a specific attitude towards life. And it shows, as yeah... long term stress, worrying, will have an impact on your health and how you look (not talking about something obvious like the impact of long term exposure to UV damage/sun). And at the end? You die if you worry and living a stressfull life, and you die if you don't. So why worry. Just live.

Very interesting when you think about what one's "purpose" in life might be. I've heard it said in spiritual circles that to heal is to make happy. The perfection and brilliance of his show certainly did that for many, many millions of people, for some segment of time.

@@tonywhite3056 You are right about that! Marc Aurelius "Meditations" are still a very good and entertaining read to get the essence of the stoicism since it is written in kind of form of life lessons.

There’s a site on stoicism, they send a daily email….I really enjoy it. Discovering stoicism helped me define my outlook, and understand my outlook. I’m a person that just attacks a project, I don’t believe in whining that it’s hard, good things are hard.

[@Abrahamhamham]

There's some good advice to be followed in Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, for example, but don't get too hung up on stoicism, because that's not completely healthy either. Sometimes you really need to express your anger and other powerful emotions if you don't want it to build up inside and literally get sick at some point, which has been proven for decades by studying the connection between body and emotions, and how cancer and autoimmune diseases appear, in most cases. Stoicism without therapy is pretty much bottling everything inside, which is a bad idea if you're not in control of your emotional state.

Jerry, I'm 62 year old homeless vet. And i watch a lot of videos, because I love to learn. Like you, i feel younger than i am. Like you, i didn't work after covid for 2 years. I just started exercising 9 months ago. I couldn't walk half a block. Exercising, weight training has been my savior. ( my depression is still here, and unlike you i want to not live, but at least I'm physically healthy). Working out is my meditation. I can squat and deadlift very heavy weights because I focus on one simple thing at a time. I do meditate and have taught others. I also do yoga. I love how you interview. You do it with humor, mindfulness and with Sincereness. At least that is what i have observed. Thank you. I will read up on stoicism. I have read a bit on saint Thomas Aquinas, Buddhism, and others. In prison, my friends said to me," is anyone shooting at you?" This question is like your current philosophy. If no one is shooting at you, don't worry. Just move on to the next thing. Be blessed and Shalom.😊 Ps, instead of expresso, its instant coffee😂.

100% benefits for me too...As a veteran I have found Transcendental Meditation to be the best thing that ever happened to me. It is easy to do, easy to learn, and the benefits come right away. In fact, it is the best time of every day. And I agree with what Jerry said, if you want to be happy and be your best self, TM is the best tool in life.

@@changingworld7467 Jerry never speaks about it, but I wonder if he has ever considered the metaphysical benefits to it. Meaning, being in the right place at the right time, how harmoniously all the right people came together for that show. That's not to say he did not work really hard in addition, or that he had everything handed to him... not at all. I'm just saying, that Jungian "synchronicities" seemed to happen more with me when I meditated, and I can see how someone like Seinfeld benefited in unseen ways that go beyond what we typically think of as cause/effect benefits of TM.

His "comedians in cars" episode with Michael was really memorable. You can really tell how much he suffered for and was haunted by his mistake, how genuinely sorry he was, and how difficult it has been for him to get past the shame, guilt, and public backlash he experienced from that. A lesson in self forgiveness, and the injustice of sometimes paying mercilessly and 10 thousand fold for a mistake as simple as letting anger get the better of you for just a few seconds.

A very frank & truthful interview by Jerry. Thank You Bro!!! As a stand up myself I always looked up to Jerry, because he was so clean & creative. A friend of mine opened up for him back in the late 80’s (At Mr. Rips in Spring Valley, NY-Remember Mr. Rips Jerry?) I was very envious of him as I would’ve liked that gig myself. Anyway our paths never directly crossed & the show soon came out & he took off. I was a regular at Dangerfield’s & he never played there. Alas, most of my friends in comedy have passed as it is a tough lifestyle, but myself like Jerry-we keep going. Even though I’m not regularly doing stand-up anymore I think about comedy all the time & think about funny stuff. I’m looking forward to Jerry’s MooVee-Unfrosted!!! It looks like it will be pretty funny as people from our generation will relate to it (Jerry & I are about the same age). Regardless of the reviews I’m sure I’ll love it❤️❤️❤️❤️.

@@lynnturman8157 Sit upright, but not rigidly so; keep feet flat on the floor. (May need pillow behind you to support back and/or to allow feet to rest comfortably flat on the floor.) Close eyes and consciously relax your entire body; breathe in deeply and breathe out long (put lips together and push air out through the closed lips); do this about 20 to 30 times. Your body will start to feel relaxed. Then, start repeating your mantra silently to yourself. If you have no mantra (say from a TM ceremony), try repeating something like: "shiva om," or other spiritually enriched words that resonate with you. Keep silently repeating, in your own mind, that mantra or those spiritually comforting words. In the beginning try doing meditations for at least 20 minutes and then increase to 50 minutes or longer, if you feel so inclined. Best is around 50 - 60 minutes of meditation. Sometimes you are really in the zone and meditations can go on for much longer than one hour.

Im shocked he is 70 ,how did that happen. He looks great !!! Sounds a little slower but still great

[@jagroarpodcast]

Great interview Graham! You have great guests and are a very good interviewer! Best wishes and continued success!

[@neilm2794]

His outlook has changed a lot. I can remember the episode of Seinfeld where Kenny Banya asks him “Do you workout?”, and Jerry says “No, I don’t”. “Well you should”. “Why?”

[@SueVicory]

I’m turning 70 and am a stoic. Best life ever.

[@tiptoe531]

Because Jerry has carved out an exceptional career based on observation as a consequence he’s become incredibly wise.

[@cqaqa]

Jerry is getting away with murder. Pretending to be all wise and successful because of talent and choices he made in life when he in fact is both petulant and entitled. To be honest he just hit the jackpot, was lucky with Larry David by his side who’s the one with the rare talent and since then it has been easy sailing for mr. Seinfeld.

[@bradleylovej]

I am so happy to know that Jerry meditates, it has completely changed my life. His career trajectory makes so much sense now.

[@underated17]

The bad reviews really hurt. They are often unfounded and said by someone who couldn't do it better.

[@JohnConsiglio]

Jerry please do the Daily Stoic! 🙏

[@johnulcer]

Jerry seems much more self aware here than I’ve seen before. Still a bit arrogant but coming more from a place of not caring what others think; in older interviews I thought he often came off as smug and lacking awareness.

[@Hannah82271]

He’s very arrogant

[@DNGMaestro]

@@Hannah82271are you offended?

[@howard5992]

@@DNGMaestro it's just an observation. Like his comedy. Observational. Jerry is in love with his own thoughts. He is proud and excited abut his "insights". I have no problem with it but it's kind of ...comical.

[@al3xj]

He's right on meditation - it's deeply recharging - but there are so many types, I certainly didn't find it effortless in the first 25 years of practicing and experimenting with different types

[@auntiemarlie]

Marcus Aurelius sounded like Taurus - so I checked and indeed he is! And just two days away from your birthday Jerry …. April 26, 121 AD Rome to your April 29, 1954 New York ~ with time change maybe almost the same day! You are the absolute BEST ~ We adore you! ❣️

[@eltoro969]

Jerry actually looks better now, getting older.

[@UnaBellissima]

My ADHD approves of this interview 😂. But yeah… meditations! 🙏🏼

[@marelven]

And just like that, Jerry Seinfeld started to lead this interview and tell the interviewer what to do with his life. Brilliant!

Jerry should go on the JRE

Can't rly see that going well for some reason

Cant either

[@yoe91]

mmm... different vibes.

I actually think he never would. Would be cool if he did though

So Joe can't talk 95 percent of the time and tell the same tired stories to him he always tells. Nah.

Thanks for the rec mark Normand!

The smugness in people who do meditate vs people who don’t is hilarious! Love you @Jerry

Seinfeld is slowly turning into Pacino.

[@Jules-dn9jl]

Love this wisdom of Jerry.

[@lewisburton1852]

70? dang. Bryan Johnson over here doing the most and Jerry just meditates, exercises, espressos and lots of laughs.

[@BradBolin]

He forgot to add personal chef, no fixed schedule, and hair dye.

[@rebelofbabylon3091]

He has gray hair, his schedule would be needed since he is a busy person (a trade off of being successful) and no personal chef can change genetics

Hi Jerry! Thanks for the heads up on meditation...you're an ORIGINAL Philosopher! Love you! Thanks for all you do! That two year hiatus was a meditation... a little groggy! Talk about what you did during the Covid 19 Pandemic! xoxoxo

[@TheSendaBigSmileChallenge]

Love Seinfeld! Such a funny and interesting guy! 😀👍

[@gregroland914]

Instead of meditating, why not unload the dishwasher?

[@barbarashea1975]

Dishwashing can be a meditation. Just pay attention to the dishwashing and nothing else, not easy but it’s a practice.

The most insightful Seinfeld interview, or any interview, ever. I tried TM but just could not get into it, I'll have to give it a second look.

[@changingworld7467]

Did you learn from a certified teacher? If so, you can go back and get your TM practice checked. If not, go to a real TM teacher....all the difference in the world. I'm a vet and it is the best thing that ever happened to me.

@@thomasbrown3325 Yes, but the show took him to a level of success he would have never attended with his stand-up alone... FACTS

Jerry's completely right about starting from scratch after a two year break. "Focus on what you're doing and get better at what you're doing & everything else is a complete waste of time".

[@InChristalone737]

I encourage Jerry to consider Christianity and the gift of eternal life Christ extends to those who trust completely in Him for the propitiation of his sins.

Jerry can say whatever he wants. He doesn't care what anyone else thinks.

Oh my God, it never ends! Total JS moments …through and through! Not sure on the weights, however, because I believe he took Banya to task on that one.

[@williamwillaims]

I received some training for TM, and more "intensive" Kriya Yoga ( Yogananda Paramahansa). TM I found to be super "basic" and simple. I've dropped off on practising any meditation, so I really need to get into it again. 100% true what he says about energy though. 👏 Really, any practice that calms the minds is soooo good for us. Lowers blood pressure etc some great peer reviewed studies on meditation 🧘‍♀️ 😀
