Tim Ferriss Is Changing His Mind | Rich Roll Podcast

[@richroll]

Thanks to Tim for being so open in this conversation and thanks to you for watching. Love all the comments people are leaving. Per the intro you can find more about Tim plus links to mental health resources and references to topics discussed in the show notes on the episode page here: bit.ly/richroll770

[@mizzounyc]

I'm trying to write this to be as gentle as possible, but something I've noticed with Tim Ferris is his extreme self-absorption. It's all about optimization of himself, being obsessed with personal performance, being obsessed with me, me, ME. No where in any of his discussions with other people on his podcast, or interviews does he show any interest, care of concern over anything other than how this person, conversation, can be of utility to him.

[@datamongerbonny]

Thanks to you both. Followed you both since the early days and queue up your latest conversations for the long solitary trail runs...I appreciate you for staying in front of the paywall. Because of that I buy every book and support you in any way along the journey.

Tim has always been ahead of the curve. I’ve learned so much from his content over the years and this discussion was spectacular. It’s clear he’s done and he’s doing the work to constantly evolve himself and thank you Rich for being such a thoughtful interviewer. I always learn from you as well! beyond blessed to have access to this information into be able to call you both friends as well. Keep going!

Thank you Andrew. Your support means the world and the work you are doing continues to be a North Star - not just for its content but perhaps more so for its spirit of service to others. We learn together and share together.

[@shimmerthefield]

As far as I am concerned, you guys are the big three heavy hitters in the land of serving. Thank you for being there for yourself enough to reach those who are open to usable and actionable science-based information that propels and oils the wheels of being well and well-being as a human trying to just be. 🙏 . 😇😇😇

Recap by Tammy AI

[@sdaniels101]

Tammy AI is very smart but cannot figure out that "The Speaker" has a name and it is Tim. 🤔

[@stellareye000]

This is exactly what I've been needing to hear. I think I've followed too many personalities on hustle culture and noticed that most of them are in their 20s or early 30s. It's honestly caused fatigue. I love that we have more influential voices showing us the journey from thriving outward but also cultivating inner awareness. Thank you for this!

[@user-sl3bx6gj3]

I’m a digital nomad today because of Tim Ferris’ book “4 Hour Workweek” 20 years ago ~! ❤

[@conjurer5725]

What business did you create in order to get to this point, and if I may ask, how much are you making?

[@Mansfield_Motors]

I did psilocybin (5g+) in my early 20s and it essentially cured most of my mental issues stemming from childhood trauma. Toughest experience in my life, while also the most beautiful. I call it a chemical enlightenment, because that's exactly what it felt like. I know this topic is getting beat to death, but it's not unwarranted.

[@matthewdietzen6708]

Hmmm ... interesting. But how did that work exactly? Did you have that intention going in?

[@pizzahelper100]

It is NOT being beaten to death. THANK YOU for sharing, please spread your story so others can awaken to the beauty of plant medicine.

[@physicianskitchen]

Just by the title this sounds refreshing as opposed to hard hustle content that has plagued my feed lol. Can't wait to listen.

[@SachinDolta]

Wow same here

[@vincentcaudo-engelmann9057]

But also, this is the new “thing”. Fads are so annoying.

[@zenphony]

“Hustle content”. Love that, and yes, so tired of that crap.

[@DrJillianRigert]

Loved this conversation so much! Thank you to Tim for being vulnerable and showcasing a comprehensive perspective... I deeply value his ability to share multiple sides of the same topic and attempts to be considerate to make sure people know it's not a one size fits all. Being able to change our minds as we learn more and our values change in life is also an incredible skill, especially when having a public presence. Rich is an incredible host as always! Grateful for you both, and the studio is sharp!

[@renek.6434]

There's nothing more refreshing than seeing Tim talking about "transcending productivity".

[@dariacompati8070]

few years ago I was literally saved by Tim recommending Radical Acceptance. That started my long journey to the recovery from a very deep depression. Still feeling this gratitude for that old podcast where Tim shared his story and mentioned this book. Much love to both of you ❤

Trauma and the Soul by Donald Kalsched - "Trauma is injury to the capacity to feel." Thank you Tim for sharing!

[@bellelacroix5938]

In terms of harm reduction I offer this as a woman in her mid 60s who grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and married a Berkeley guy who ended up being just a rager and on all fronts. A party boy at heart but also a serial wife-beater, baby shaker; phony who loved all manners of drugs as well as psychedelics, and thought of himself as a shaman. He had quite the messiah complex and ended up after several arrests and breakups and getting a teenager pregnant at 50 years old, all moved in on CIIS (above board and underground) to get buy of all things a Marriage and Family Counseling license. When he died his handle was "educator" as if. He became the headmaster's favorite trippin buddy who he paid my child support to, to make it look like he was legitimately working on himself when he was actively and geavily using and dragging everybody that didn't give him what he wanted to court when he wasn't drugging them willy-nilly, using adult child support from his enabling mother. He had the audacity to tell me that his favorite part of the job was going to small retreats with vulnerable female "clients" and dosing them with MDMA then sexually assaulting them... I mean healing them wink-wink-nudge-nudge. These rappey dudes are everywhere in psychedelics and always have been like yoga and meditation... hollywood/n.y., your daughters' college, and you might want to talk to Rick Doblin (but better Dave Nickols) all about how these kinds of guys even the ones that speak at conferences and where they predate as well, Burning Man, Peru; IN THERAPY,, about their cover-ups. Classic charlatans use these substances as date-rape drugs. Beware.

[@Alaf-t9e]

God bless Tim Ferris and give him all the peace and grace that only a higher power can give. We love and RESPECT you, Tim. You have changed millions of lives in ways that you can never imagine. You are a blessing to humanity.

[@creator_yo]

Appreciate so much that someone like Tim is finally appealed how important FEELING is. It’s one of the sources for not only becoming whole as a person but also a way to becoming more empathetic and compassionate to others.

[@simini1837]

Totally agree, we are humans not optimized robots!

[@2011hwalker]

Ferriss is a lost soul. He doesnt seem like the sort of person who experiences fully. Quite a sad person frankly.

[@mickeylana]

So powerful. I love how thoughtfully and humbly Tim is making waves in the psychedelic therapy space. A dear friend of mine took his own life after a bout of self-medicating with ketamine. He was trying to replace alcohol with ketamine and had no real support system in place to do so. You have both done a huge service by talking about the good, the bad and the ugly. Thank you 🙏

[@i.greene]

[@KenjiSummers]

This is an important episode. I bought all of Tim's books and often felt like I wasn't good enough because I could never apply them and execute like Tim. Now I know that Tim was never an idol or someone to put on a pedestal, only human.

I so appreciate you, Rich! You are such an incredible man. Both of you are! It is so beautiful to watch you both grow right in front of our eyes. Thank you so very much for sharing your amazing journeys. Thank you for being what Timothy Leary called the 'Outlaws'---those renegade cells that push the envelope, blaze the trail for others to follow more easily. I began this journey when I was 17 year old unwed mother and was granted a work scholarship at Esalen Institute in 1969 and it changed my entire life, including working with Timothy Leary for an entire summer producing his first Computer/Brain/Consciousness workshop in Santa Monica decades later......Life is such an amazing journey!

[@benascg-ll7sq]

No great interviewee without great interviewer. Gratitude to Rich Roll for creating such wide deep space for Tim to express his truths. I dream of a conversation between Tim Ferris and Bob Boman, Michael Phelps' legendary coach on living unoptimized

[@Ocean18MediaServices]

I think this is my favourite Tim interview ever. So unique and open. Thank you

[@meharmira]

It’s like I am watching Tim grow up who helped me grow up when I discovered him 9 years ago. And now THIS KINDA VULNERABLE talk is showing me direction since here’s exactly where I am stuck.

[@TheShavedleggs]

50:15 -> that is the point! No mind is empty. Look at your thoughts, look at the attached ideas and emotions. Detach your ideas and emotions. Let the pictures come and go. That's the flow!

[@marcgallivan6778]

I used to find Tim Ferris arrogant, but this conversation helped me to see him in a new light, a more humble and human one that has really been enjoyable. Thank you.

[@obscureorca]

He used to be a bit arrogant, but he is human as we all are, and he obviously matured and developed as a person.

[@jaredmotopnw]

I’ve seen a number of talks over the years of Tim and he seems the most genuine and at peace with himself than ever… And that’s nice to see.

[@christinebc6882]

Thank you both for this great interview. Tim is one great example of « using your power for good ». He helped so many people who have then helped and inspired others. To me he’s Also an example of integrity. He followed his own values and his logic to the point where it had to completely transform him. « Follow the argument wherever it leads » ; it lead him to cross over to a different life / a different way to live. That’s the greatest example of courage. Maybe he’ll inspire others to learn to do the same: to think clearly AND feel deeply. ❤ to you both for having this conversation in public.

[@christinebc6882]

I'm listening to the part about scaling up and regulations... thinking about the difference between intelligence and wisdom and wondering if facilitating the widespread commercialisation and use of these compounds as a commodity is a wise move. To "extract the molecule" and sell it. Shouldn't the experience be embedded in a culture, with a strong, deep foundation, and values that go along with it? To help the person connect with this culture / world view and those values? I wonder if the wisdom people acquire through using the psychedelics is compatible with the commercial / capitalist mindset of America... I haven't used them, I know people who do, I'm curious, but I can't help wonder about their widespread use within North American culture. @richroll @timferris

[@Victoria-Monique]

YES! Sounds like he's embracing and cultivating his feminine essence as to balance out the masculine behaviour of the last years. By the way nothing wrong with it, but too much of one thing makes us unbalanced within ourselves. And Rich congratulations on the not important & so well deserved million. Thank you for this! Tim & Rich 😍🥰

Respected Tim, I have just read ur book, 4 hours work week. Competency is a modern term. In the past, it was sincere service. Corporate world has turned it into competence. My prophet Muhammad has always championed service; that’s why he is still in the hearts after 14.5 centuries.

[@Sunlightsam24]

What Tim is talking about re: his life’s challenges are common, one doesn’t have to have sexual abuse when they were 2-4. Although that’s horrible, we’re all affected by growing up from parents, trauma (like for me my father passing at 16), siblings, school, natural tendencies, etc. Rich Roll recently interviewed Dr Richard Schwartz of IFS-to me, that’s the answer in and out of a therapist’s office.

[@dariosergevna]

IFS is the answer?

[@Oldhippiechickadventures]

Great Podcast, thank you, Rich Roll. Tim Ferris you are an amazing human. Thank you thank you, by God's grace ,I never experienced childhood sexual abuse, but I know so many who did. Your voice, and thoughts will help so many❤

[@Nitrotix1]

I remember exactly where I was when I heard the Terry Cruz episode. I waa working overnight in a grocery store and I remember having to go to the restroom for a few minutes because of how emotional it was. Didn't want to be tearing up during work. That was very early in my "podcast journey" and it wss very impactful. Fortunately I have not faced any similar traumatic events but it really made me see things in a different light since.

‘I am broke and nothing will fix it.’ This kind of hopelessness has plagued me my whole life. I think hopelessness is the core of depression. So powerful. Thanks Tim.

As usual, Tim, you are constantly over delivering on the promise. My kids suffer as did my ex, I always share these episodes with them. I remember a mention of a book on this topic… no pressure. The podcasts and long form articles are the best🤗

It's incredible what Tim has achieved while being handicapped by 3-4 depressive episodes a year for a large part of his adult life.

Thank you both for this conversation. On my own healing journey, I appreciate your honest sharing of personal experiences.

[@MissAdventures]

I had repeated thoughts of a specific abuse from childhood until I experienced a religious dream reframing the abuse as Mother Mary protecting me from the abuser. I cried. I healed. I only recognized her as a woman in a blue veil until a few days later. Then I realized I hd dreamed in color of Leonardo Davinci's sculpture (and paintings of) La Pieta only I was being held. I have not had that dream since and have been healed from the trauma. No drugs, no fasting, no meditation.

[@mjb6446]

Sounds like a growth in maturity. Humans aren't robots to be "optimised". Living "optimised" all the time is going to burn anyone out long term. Optimising in order to achieve certain short or medium term objectives is fine if done properly, but long term there needs to be a balance of some sort or you're going to crash hard at some point.

[@jeannegorman4336]

Enjoyed this interview very much. The long painful tail of trauma and the role of plant medicines in treating now provides amazing opportunity for healing and growth. Appreciated the caveats as well. I believe that the rigidity and chaos metaphor comes from Dr. Dan Siegal. Appreciate the warmth of your keen listening and insightful responses.

12 step approach: little known hustory iof Blls getting sober and embarking on his journey of sobriety: in hisputal, his therapy was conducted using psychedelic therapy. That opened his perspective. In startung AA, he wanted to address this but others felt it would not be in alignment with the 12 step principles so he agreed to leave that part out.

[@academiadan]

This feels like two Vulcans having a conversation. So guarded, preemptive, qualified, and emotionally muted. Fascinating.

Appreciate the emphasis on clinical support and supervision for these treatments. I do hope that this might provide an option for a hard to reach group of people who desperately need support: First Responders and military. The culture of grit and push through helps in their work but is detrimental to their real lives.

[@venusrain4198]

My brother was sexually abused repeatedly from the age of 8 by our grandfather who we moved in with after my parents divorced. These memories didn’t resurface until he was going through cancer treatment at the age of 38 and he was reading Bessel van der Kolk’s book The Body Keeps the Score. He passed away last year at the age of 44 and I know that his sickness was trapped emotions from childhood trauma that manifested years later as a chronic disease and took his life. I honestly don’t know what the obsession is now with people getting into psychedelics. It almost seems like it is the next “fad”. I listened to a Suzanne Geisman podcast recently and I 100% agree with a comment she made that some windows are just meant to be left closed (something like that). It’s important to deal with trapped emotions, but we don’t necessarily have to remember what happened. If you have to take psychedelics to access that information I just think you’re going to “play with fire”. Also, the hyper obsessive driven person that Tim has been up until this point is clearly a result of his need to shut things out, pushing things down. He has been running from his emotions and he made a lot of money selling the “hustle” to people, just as he is now making a lot of money telling everybody that’s it’s now “en vogue” to feel. Credit where credit is due for having these conversations, but why did it need to wait until it became popular to do so 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@faebalina7786]

I can’t express how devastating to mental and physical health child sexual abuse is for a large number of people.It’s so devastating because the older you get the more you understand how cruel it is and the more you wish you could do something.I pray I never have to leave any kids i have with anyone (beside my sister or a trusted friend who looks after them alone with no other kids,relatives in the home).I’m willing to accept being poorer to save them from that.I’d rather come across over zealous than to be complacent or too trusting and have a lapse in judgement.

Ketamine has improved everything about me. It rewired my brain, starting with the first dose. I no longer get hooked into repetitive thinking. I sleep better. Low dose and under medical supervision

I love that Tim is aging gracefully, becoming Jason Stratham like a bad ass looking dude but he sounds and his style is exactly the same from 10+ years ago! 😂 かっこいいっす👍 沢山の人に役立つ事を共有してくれてありがとうございます🙏
