If you're lonely, start helping those who are lonely too. this is so true. I already practice this, but hearing this statement said like this, openly, is important, because it reinforces that we need to take a first step to break cycles of isolation. Whenever someone is facing problems, difficult situations, if they know that there is someone to just listen to them, this is already a great help to get out of this place, which seems like a dead end. It's so good to get content like this, with valuable information shared in a simple and attractive way. It's great to listen to you, Simon, and the guests you bring in. Thank you for this!
I love everything about Simon! Absolutely everything! I only wish he would be my friend. I think the best thing ever - is to get interrupted by my friend. To me it means my friend all in the conversation with me. Means my friend is being interested, authentic and trusts me that I won’t judge anything what’s happening here between us in the moment.
I love this episode. so many things i could learn from. Particularly, I was impressed by the fact that we do expect couples/partners to go to therapy to reconcile while we do not expect friends to go to therapy to fix and improve relationships. love you always.
I’m with you Simon!!! Love the end of the podcast talking about long term relationships…. my longest has been 4-5 years and I have never been married either. I think that’s a WIN 🏆 because I am happier for it and focused on self health (mental, emotional, and physical). Definitely don’t want to be someone “stuck” in an unhealthy marriage.
Yeah Simon listen you gotta do more videos like this. You absolutely have to. This was amazing. Absolutely amazing. I think you wanna do a series of videos on this topic help friendship because I struggle with it because I don’t like people I do like people I love to find the type of people who love people that, those people and I engage other people in each other
Totally agree with you it’s like this is gonna be the deepest conversation I’ve ever listened to love to be able to participate in it. You know how do you participate in the conversation like this when the people around you i’m not capable and the people that possibly you know I’m a medically retired gas pipeliner so for me to dabble into the high fluting well you know I don’t even know any doctors around here that would engage in something like this because it just not capable or doesn’t soothe the immediate interest?
Thank you for this! 🙏 I loved it! You made me remember about the epigenetics, how our emotional environment influences our cells and affect the way our genes work...
Simon, I have just discovered you today. I have been binging your videos because I cannot get enough of your insight and how you logically look at topics. I wish we could be friends 😂
Now that I am further into this talk I have to tell you that I fully understand when you said society feels your friend who was in an unhealthy long term relationship got it right and you didn’t because you have never been married. I am 53 and I have never been married. I feel embarrassed to tell people that. Because of society, it feels like it would be easier or more acceptable to say I am divorced. I’m not saying I want to be divorced, but it feels more acceptable than never being married.
I watch many different broadcasters in few different languages and what I learned is we are thought to seek mental health, emotional health but not spiritual. The main cause of suicide according to the presenter is caused due to luck of spiritual fulfillment. Right now this education is broughtly expanded and clinics are growing in Eastern European countries. I believe it was called esotericism. I need to rewatch the episode but pretty sure that’s the name that he gave out.
The definition of 'fitness' in biology is not based on 'brute strength', that is the cutural interpretation of the term. Simplified, an individual's fitness is measured by 1) whether the individual survives to reproductive age and 2) how many descendants the individual is able to produce during its lifetime. It is more complicated than that, but, in short, fitness is not necessarily tied to physical force (unless that force is able to improve the indivuals abiilty to survive and reproduce, which is not the case in all species). Very interesting discussion. Thanks for all the insights!
The concept of "accompaniment" is the word Baha'i Faith uses for programs of service to communities. They have literacy and health programs where they gather (I think mostly women) from tribes and villages and teach them to read and health/safety and then they go back to their community and teach them.
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 21 yrs. I am 74 now but have been. healthy for 9 years with no symptoms because of diet change (gluten and dairy free etc) This pissed me off to realize 50 years, my whole marriage and my whole adult life I was "mentally ill" and didn't need to be if they had asked me about my diet (I was a dancer in my 20s eating no-fat diet and starving myself) then they kept feeding me meds which research now shows perpetuates depression etc. Listen to them!!!!
Simon, you may want to view the TED talk by Dr. Daniel Amen for the purposes of your podcasts and book on friendship. He relates the physical situation indicated with brain scans to to various psychological problems.
I live on social security and can hardly pay rent and buy food. So I keep it simple and eat simply, organic and healthy. Mostly vegetables, some meat and small serving of rice (1/2 cup) or rice noodles. I use grain free bread for toast in the morning (or gluten free bread) I mostly do not snack. I do drink kombucha. I only do DHA, omega 3 for my brain health and magnesium but thats it! It would be nice if I could do more but I can't. However, I do creative projects, have good relationships, life a principle based life and I am healthy and happy at 74 and take no medications. My blood pressure and blood sugar is good. It doesn't have to be complex.
So where do you find friends like that so meet people like this that is so open they have really such a friend or a human being that cares so much for the people around where else do you find this like I’m like that I don’t let people in my life because I Had yet to find anybody that wants a deep connection as a friend how is that even possible? I live up here it’s like how is that even possible when these people exist and you know I’ve been alone for 22 years and it’s like holy shit man it’s like when when is the alone part gonna stop , I want to start but it’s just difficult because nobody wants that connection. I think it’s weird. They want me to connect but not but they don’t feel like they have to connect manage whether or not they run around and talk shit about you.
The majority of people don't need supplements or vitamins. If your diet is good, not perfect, and you have a healthy lifestyle, including getting enough sleep and not a lot of stress, you shouldn't need to take anything. The ironic part is these influencers who are telling you to have a healthy lifestyle are also grifting vitamins and supplements. They aren't practicing what they are preaching. It's usually someone who works out a lot but isn't sleeping enough, is high stressed, and has some type of vice addiction that eventually becomes public. These influencers look good on camera but aren't doing most of the healthy things they are telling you to do. Most of them aren't even taking the vitamins and supplements they are selling you. Don't trust influencers. Your life will instantly improve.
Is it fair to say that education has something to do with the deep intimate friendship that that was supposed to have that we don’t have because of inhibitions and I don’t want someone to know this emotional about this and whatever can that have anything to do with it? I mean there’s more that I want to talk about but you know nobody wants to read 20 minutes of what I’m thinking so just elaborate and dig deep into what I’m saying and that
Maybe some write a book or a document don’t know if that’s a proper word or not but relationships out loud that I think says a lot about everything because nobody’s talking about that stuff that comes from but anyways
By the way, couple therapy is meant to be perfect to start romantic committed relationships and marriages along wirh friendship counselling not before talking about divorce and seperation. Learning how to attune to another person's completely unique yet at the same time heavily non verbally universal human body languages in the beginnings of committed love amd lfie partner relationships gotta be the must package deals with honeymoon period with adrenaline and dopamine Oxytocin serotonin rushes lasting only a couple years at max in this crazier human calamity on Earth COLLECTIVELY LITERALLY ALL INTERCONNECTED AND HEAVILY INTERPLAYED.
Personally, I disagree with this, Simon's podcast is one if the few that feels like a conversation, not a produced piece, or as a meeting with agreed upon points. Conceptually, your comment doesn't make sense to me at all. Do you want the guests to talk forever? If Simon was constantly interrupting the guest to make his point at the cost of theirs, it would definitely feel weird, but I don't find him doing that?
@@Phripheoniks Conceptually in what way? Someone I know adores Simon but she did warn me that Simon could have demonstrated a bit more self control this interview. SHE LOVES SIMON!!! SHE WON'T SHUT UP ABOUT SIMON! TNE SUN RISES AND SHINES ON SIMON! but she did warn me he could injected his opinion regarding health a little less. Why did you use the word conceptually though? Mark Hyman is probably one of the worlds top health experts. Simon is a social commentator.
@@MechanicsAndCarpentry369 Good question, conceptually it feels like the latter undermines the former. They think highly of Simon, but would rather Simon change his behavior. However, I realize I take these kinds of comments personally, which in turn makes it about my ego, and not really Simon's character. I personally much prefer if someone speaks their mind, and I trust the people around me to speak their mind and interrupt me if they think what they want to say should be said now, instead of circling back in the conversation later. And having watched quite a few of Simon's podcasts, and guest appearances in other podcasts, I experience his conversational style of allowing for interruptions from both sides to be refreshing and honestly way more efficient than letting someone spend 15 minutes furthering their point. Thank you for asking!
"Illness starts with I, Wellness starts with We." I LOVE THIS!

Like when he says from ants to humans, we all have to work together to survive brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, love stuff like this
I hope all my friends watch this podcast. It is very informative and worth watching.

Never thought I'd see these two together. Amazing, loving it.
I absolutely loved this conversation!
I hate it
"Illness starts with I, Wellness starts with We." & "Getting healthy is a team sport."
Biology of friends, i really like that! Love all of it, what a lovely conversation❤thank you gentlemen "Amen!"🕊🙏

A very good collab, Simon. Nice job.
Dear Simon,

I needed to hear these words.
My pleasure of having both of you.

Great info from the doctor
@@MichaelRichard-o9r Yes! He had some very compelling information points.....would love to hear more in depth and detail.

I wish Simon would let his guest get a word out!!!
Same here, it’s just too much for Simon to talk over/ interrupted too much. 😳
Woow 👏👏

When is the friendship book coming out, Simon!? I am aching for it. ❤

How many people watching this want to pick up a conversation from here in a group that we create?
💯

OMG! Simon…I love your purpose in the world and think highly of you, BUT PLEASE stop talking over and interrupting your guest. It’s painful.
I totally agreed with your assessment. Something is off with Simon, it’s too much, he’s not letting the “guest/the expert” to speak up.
It was horrible. Is he always like this?

And just because you’re married, does not mean that you found the right person that I wish people would just get away from that
Stop INTERRUPTING your guest!
