I like the analogy of squeezing an orange...if you squeeze an orange, apple juice doesn't come out; orange juice comes out, obviously. The same with human disposition, when life squeezes a person (via stress, conflict, unexpected catastrophe, illness, loss, rejection, pressure, etc.) what comes out of that person is what's inside that person. People often feel comfortable, think they're good, might be doing "ok" on the surface...until life starts to squeeze them. I like using mindfulness meditation for getting out of my own head, not letting the squeeze get out of control, books like "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels have helped me be more mindful of my disposition, which hasn't always been a good one.

This is a great comment. Well written

[@georgepoly4842]

This guy is why the stoic philosophy was so successful. Life will inevitably bring you hardship, and you will crumble unless you develop your character with intentionality. Meaning becoming more disciplined in all aspects of life, more brave, more selfless etc. Of course most core religions preach these things as well, but ultimately, life forces you to realize that you’re not as good of a person as you thought and it’s up to you to fix it.

[@senthilvelan544]

Thank u for this comment dude

If you’re in a bad mood all the time, you aren’t in a bad mood, you’re an asshole. That is a quote I’ll be repeating from this.

[@stuhill9500]

Seen hundreds of hours of Jimmy the comic, the host or performer. I’m only 3mins inside, and realise how different, the real Mr Carr is. Nice guy.

[@garethconner1009]

Once met Jimmy in Halifax Town UK. I shook his hand and must of winked at the same time. He made a point of commenting on it and that it displayed confidence and that he liked that. I was shocked at how present he was in the moment and that he noticed something like that. I took confidence from the encounter.

[@lukebignell7846]

100% correct- your own mind / disposition is what makes your life great

[@matthewwhite546]

I can’t believe you bagged an interview with Jimmy Carr. Thanks for all your hard work over the years. Easily the best podcast on the internet right now.

[@auswomble]

still killing it with the guest list, was not expecting this. Bravo sir.

[@samlamingluthier]

Chris, thanks for your choice of questions, how you interview, and really bringing out the best in everyone you have on. My favourite podcast by a mile. You are so, so good at this, and it's an utter joy to have. Thank you!

Never knew Jimmy Carr was such a philosopher.

[@dr.samymalek6918]

5:40 "Fame has replaced heaven in a secular world." That's the deepest phrase I have heard in quite a while.

[@AsocialMelon]

I think people forget that some the best comedians, both today and historically, are at the top of the game because they profoundly understand people and the world around them. Clever bloke is Jimmy. I enjoy both his comedy and his philosophical outlook on life and humanity.

[@VirtousStoic]

4th i love his intellgence. Sometomes his standup is extrme. But so glad to see him be wise humble and educational here ❤ you Jimmy

[@bahaanaldo]

It makes me think of the saying "You're only as happies as your unhappiest child." Your disposition is your foundation in terms of satisfaction. Happiness isn't the goal, but if you want to attain it's brief flashes, then focus on that foundation rather than the potential ceiling you may not even reach.

[@tomostinato2918]

Profound stuff. A new found admiration for Jimmy Carr.

[@Diego_T_Ferreyra]

Great job selecting the guest! I'm looking forward to Monday's episode.

[@Elle.Energy]

Already love all of it! Nice to see this side of Jimmy Carr. I'll be at one of his shows for my birthday in a few weeks ❤🎉

[@chdao]

Bad diet, alcohol, weed and drugs will all make you depressed. That is what the 20s are about, if we follow the crowd.

[@jamessaltlife]

Even coffee can heighten anxiety. To truly improve I believe a complete cold turkey from all mind-altering substances is optimal

[@jacquib256]

Agree

[@ProjectMorten]

Count psychedelics out of that

[@EricKingFrey]

Kierkegaard taught us that anxiety is the key to freedom (after moving through despair, that is)!

Anxiety is currency just not enough people truly know this yet! 💜

[@esma.ga5]

Hi. So could you tell me how I would benefit from it?

[@carolspencer6915]

@@esma.ga5 Paying attention and learning from the anxiety felt opens up many possibilities (currency). Does take time, so maybe time is the true currency! 💜

[@lewisoloughlin729]

Great conversation

[@CompactCognition]

Money only amplifies whatever you are: If you're sad person, money might make you sadder. If you're a happy person, money might make you happier. Key is finding out how to be content at any level of wealth. Once you're happy whilst poor, this is a good foundation to then learn how to become rich. Sad people get sadder with money because they were disappointed to find that money is not the thing that increases happiness levels but merely multiplies it. Negative 1 multiplied by 100 becomes negative 100.

Any tradesman who works onsite understands anxiety. Its that anxiety that keeps us up at night , methodically planning and thinking of every situation that could go wrong. Its that anxiety that makes us, it our plan to succeed. " when we jump, the noose just gets tighter".

[@Maggot1077]

If you think you may be depressed, try this. Find interviews of people with traumatic brain injury or amputation. If you don't feel as hopeless and lost for the future as they do. You likely need to change your personality or environment a bit.

[@DirtyJokesFan]

Jimmy Carr is a great example of the on-stage persona and his edgy humour being used by his haters to dismiss him as being intellectually backwards. He’s far more layered than they will give him credit. Yes he’s an acquired taste comedian, and I’m a big fan therefore biased, but behind it all he’s a deep thinker.

[@FXCartel]

Has this full interview been posted yet

[@MsDamosmum]

I am in a bad mood with society by and large but not really individuals

Disposition over position, you can have anything but you can’t have everything, I like that 👍 who would thought jimmy car would be such a guru haha

[@CornKingsTV]

Good old Carr, always reminded me of a ventriloquist puppet with a human curse... looks only. Hes a bright gentleman, not a true blockhead 😂

[@ClintLock1]

lol that's a good analogy

If this full episode doesn’t include advice on managing tax affairs, I’ll be furious 😂

Cut to the wide hahaha

Who is that guy?

[@go9ro367]

I’ve never seen or heard of Jimmy Carr. He’s not as well known as he might think. (Oh, and the link at the end of the clip doesn’t take you to the full length version).

find that hard to believe

Shots fired at entertainers as being less than comedians… having said that, I understand.

I prefer jimmy carr when he's not funny. Super interesting.

[@avertingapathy3052]

Even if it's situational it's no less valid especially in your 20s when your brain is still developing. He is in his 40s and seemingly confronting overuse of mental illness terms but it just reeks of BS tough love.

[@avertingapathy3052]

@@kris3451 Most decent psychiatrists will suggest you medication and therapy if in dire straights. Being temporarily medicated for "depression" to stabilize you in an impossibly difficult situation could help you change it along with therapy. Though I'm against overprescribing or making everything purely biological, it's not unreasonable to be on meds for a short while if it would benefit someone. The problem is medicalizing issues without therapy or taking a categorically anti-med stance if you can use them as an adjunct to therapy. But yeah, finding such judicious psychiatrists and not falling into "mental illness" culture is probably not easy given the cultural norms of recent.

There’s Mr Carr, looking sickly as hell after all his pokes. All the sunny disposition in the world can’t save you now, Jimbo. Thanks for calling us scumbags a few years ago. 😘😘😘

They'll probably gaslight you after your comment saying they understand why we're angry but we ALL need to move on and "heal" Whatever the f that means, truly convenient.
