'There are two types of people in this world. Those who don't know how to improve their lives and those who don't know when to stop' That's an excellent quote.
I really think there isn't a better channel in existence. It's just endless intelligent, rational and balanced conversation. You'll probably never read this, but Thank You Chris!!
The idea of feeling unready to truly live life hits home. Here's my journal entry from a few weeks ago: "i feel like i'm stuck in a permanent state of temporary. i keep telling myself: these people are temporary. this job is temporary. i'll aim higher. but... i have no deadlines. it's permanently temporary."
That's a bleak but accurate description of life itself. *Permanently temporary.* Don't feel bad. Try to find a lifelong career that feels rewarding enough to allow you to want to wake up every morning and do it. Set some goals for yourself. Like Jordan Peterson teaches, start with the small and work up to the grand. Clean your room, then your house, then your community.. then run for Congress if you've gotten that far
Sounds like you don't like your job. Have you tried Jordan Petersons Self Authoring Program? It helps SO much! It's only about $10. It brings you thru a series of questions about your past, present & future to help you set achievable goals, which can change over time, as needed.
I have been in the "lonely chapter" and the "on the grind" for so long now that I have forgotten how to live and enjoy life. I even forgot how to talk with my friends because I can't imagine them understanding the challenges that I face and find that I am not able to express my thoughts anymore. Thanks for this talk, because that is how it feels watching this video, like a deep and meaningful conversation with a wise and old friend. Thanks for giving me the talk. I needed to realize life is happening now. Ps you should consider writing a book Chris, I think you can really help people with your wisdom.
Same. Ever since I started working, I don’t know how anymore. Especially since I worked 16 hours a day in an audit firm. Left it and slowly integrating to society but everything is different now.
He meant that some people raise the productivity bar very high to feel that they are worthy of being alive. These people tend to increase their efficiency rather than relax and have a quiet time with friends and family because when they do the latter they think they are wasting time and feel the guilt of not being productive (not doing enough).
These 100 episodes are so valuable! I'll be listening back to this episode multiple times to keep myself in check. Thanks for summarising all the ideas so succinctly
These small ideas add up to something great. It's amazing to have you dissect these thoughts and hold them up to your life struggles... Which are very similar to my life struggles... Even though we are quite different people... It's like constant life hacks, but thought hacks instead. I think there for I am. I am better and happier because of the practical clarity you bring to these important ideas... This channel is a safe anchorage from the troubled waters of a turbulent mind. Somewhere to rest and regain strength. I've only been subscribed to this channel a couple of months, but it's had a profound affect on my happiness and well being. It's 6am on a Sunday morning and everyone in the house is still asleep. I'm going to spend the day with the family today... Go to the beach maybe... Even though the weather isn't perfect. I may take that fishing rod i bought last year... Enjoy your weekend man. Thanks for everything!
Reading comments is reflective of the nature of the message. I use comments to discern true value of the messaging… regardless if I agree with them. Wise to notice Thx Jeremy
Thank you for the insights Chris. I entered my lonely period when I turned 30 by moving away from a place I didn't like to somewhere new where I didn't know anyone. Thank you for helping.
Before going to work this morning i verbally promised my dogs i would take them on a long walk when i got back. I got home, had some food and was then asked if i could do one more job. Answer i gave was no, i had promised my dogs their walk. No matter how much i could've done with the money i have zero regrets about any time spent with my beloved furry pals so this video minds me i'm doing alright. 😊🙏 Thank you.
Thank you Chris! That was just a fantastic episode and many of the things you talked about resonated sooo much with my current state of mind, my challenges, fears, doubts... Thank you for putting these thoughts into words in a way that I couldn't. Big love!!
"Don't wait for the life you want to come" is a quote that most people should take away from this video. Simply put, you would love to enjoy your life, and I promise, there are people around you that are waiting for you to enjoy your life. Thanks Chris!
Man, I cannot thank you enough for all these amazing episodes. I have learned so many things which have helped improve my life in such a positive way. Thank you for doing what you do bro!
I couldn't understand more or agree more every single point made and lesson. 100% each one is a gem. From the productivity debt 100% hit home with a mistake I was making all the time and only just started trying to reflect on and how you explain and dissect shadow sentences absolutely fantastic. Thank you 🎉
I usually just listen on Spotify but switched over to RUclips for this one because I felt it might hit better watching it. From listening to previous milestone episodes, I know they're always heartfelt and give a great summary of some of the key points from the previous bunch of episodes and how you've internalized them. I'm sure many of us have picked up on the subtle tells that suggest you may be feeling the pressure and are having quite the internal conversation at the moment. If that is the case, I wanted to try and let you know that, to most of us, it looks like you're doing a cracking job, mate. Embracing the madness of it all and seeing that the madness is, in fact, a large part of why it's so beautiful. The work you put in to bring us these conversations and insights is truly appreciated. When gratefulness came up in the episode, I couldn't help but think I'm grateful there's a bro out there dedicating his time to this pursuit, so that I can have a reflective internal moment listening to his conversation and applying the wisdom as best I can in my own life. Never really got into posting comments on videos, so this might be a weird one, but sod it, here I am doing the thing, saying hello to the random stranger on the train. Cheers mate, big love, stay strong
If you pay for Spotify premium then switch for YT premium it's much better experience and much bigger music and everything library on yt speaking from personal experience using it for 8 months now not going back from this
I appreciate your openness. From the outside it seems you may have it all together. More than most people for sure. However, It's good to know that even people seemingly more successful deal with the same questions and struggles as everyone else. In some instances we may be more blessed than we realize.
The challenges I went through yesterday shaped me in the person I am today, and the challenges I am facing today are shaping me in the person I will become tomorrow.
This is the best video you have published so far. So well articulated, your cadence and philosophy are really shining here, you have improved your presentation skills and all the knowledge that you have been accumulated over the years. Impressive work and hard to be matched anywhere else. Well done done my brother
I think these episodes of 'Lessons from x episodes' are actually amongst my favourites! Perhaps we can't listen to all episodes, but this are some highlights and core learnings that you just throw and compress in here and then we get to listen and benefit from regardless. Awesome
I normally like these episodes of yours, but this one was truly wonderful! It spoke to me so much that I went from tearing up and feeling set free from the burdens I place upon myself, to feeling enlightened with new wonderful insights I never considered before, to bursting out laughing at the satire on a topic I've observed too, then back to feeling like you're speaking directly to me because you address the very things I am currently struggling with, then giggling as you point out exactly the silly thing I've found myself doing recently, then back to tearing up as you give me the permission I've struggled to give myself to stop taking things so seriously and just enjoy life, and then again as you say "this challenge that you are going through is a gift to your future self." Watching this really made my day! Thank you
Thank you Chris, only listened to the first 2 points yet but feels like you are directly talking to me! I'm 19 y/o right now and I am demanding so much for myself that it can get a bit lonely at times (because everyone my age doesn't seem to understand), so thank you for letting me know that these feelings are part of the game
I wish you the best in getting through this bottleneck. Please remember that it's just a narrow passage to squeeze through all the big potential bursting out of you right now. It's a snug fit in the process, but out the other side a big world awaits to receive what you have to offer. If you're open to some unsolicited advice...perhaps finding friends, mentors and even proteges of different ages would provide you with some space to unfurl and sort out more of who you are as you push through these growing pains. Whatever you do, press on. You've got this 💪😊🙌
Hard-hitting truth and wisdom! So many gems in this video. Thanks for sharing Chris. BTW: Love the "gratitude post-it notes" tip. If we focussed more on our small successes we would be able to address our challenges more effectively.
Loved the lesson on focusing on more life and less wealth! I try to say to myself that if I die this very second what would I be feeling? That brings back my mind to my feet!
800 episodes is totaly insane. Congrats man, i recently discovered your channel and i really like your style. And off course the guests. Keep up the good work and i will keep watching.
On the topic in the 20 minute window - if the general guidance is that you should put away 15% of your income for retirement, why shouldn't that apply to your personal time? If you can put 15% of your income aside for future you, then you can put aside 15% of your current time for future you's happiness. That ends up being 3.5 hours a day. Find away to enrich your personal human savings rather than just your investment accounts.
You really adressed some issue I deal with and you changed my view on how I see them now. Thanks a lot it made my life better. Your content really makes a difference!
1:00:57 Vital reframe. Also...Congratulations on 800 episodes 🎉 Thank you for helping us to 'find the others'. I look forward to the next 800. Keep the good stuff flowing!✨️ Okay, I'm gonna stop blowing up your comment section now...🤭👋
Literally thought of starting a podcast today, and searched for something like this, this is amazing. Just realized this video was uploaded 3 hours ago 😂😅❤?!.
Chris, I love the podcast and the amazing guests you get. I have to tell you, this one was tough to listen to. It made me want to yell at my speakers. So much of what you're wrestling with regarding meaning and purpose has a very simple (if challenging) answer. Find a good sensible woman, marry her, and have children. Throw yourself entirely into being the best husband and father you can be. I've had tremendous professional success in my life, and it in no way will ever come close to raising a family in terms of challenge, meaning, and satisfaction. My wife and I will celebrate 33 years together, and I am so grateful for her and the children she has given me. I'm pretty confident I will be remembered 3 generations from now. Cheers!
Warm butterflies every time my favorite RUclipsrs say “if you’re watching this channel you’re probably more _____ than most people.” Smarter, introspective, competent. I take it as positive feedback ☺️
@chris, I think another way to look at “shadow sentences” comes from Edward Hall on direct/indirect communication styles, which varies depending on culture. For example, in many East Asian countries, there is a greater desire for harmony and “saving face”, so a lot of requests are made very indirectly. Exactly, because as you note, making a direct request can put one in a vulnerable position, and turning down a direct request can be uncomfortable or embarrassing for both parties. I think there are advantages to more direct and explicit communication, as you note, but it does depend on the culture and context.
FWIW your videos are so inspiring and I really like the questions ones. From someone who has tried so hard at things in life to have everything fail, I wish I could have heard all these casts when I was younger to maybe have done something with my degree and my life. I know young people are so F'ing dumb, just like we were.... but man I hope your videos reach people to make adifference in their lives and the future of people. You seem to work so tirelessly and for nothing other than this, thank you so much Chris.
Opticontentment: The feeling of being content with where/who you are and at the same time, excitedly wanting to optimize all of the things, including yourself.
The curse of competence and/or the curse of the creative. I find myself never completing projects because I constantly switch between them since I enjoy anything creative. Yes, I could definitely take many paths, but focusing on one is definitely a challenge. I wish someone would just tell me my path and what I’d be best at so I could then *try* to focus on making that passion, project, or ambition my primary focus. At this point, I’ll try to take the advice from this video and focus on something for a period of time before changing projects.
The problem with being good at everything is something i suffer from. I never thought that this was happening with a lot of people. I feel like i love science and physics,i love mathematics ,i love medicine and the way human body is studied and healed, i love economy and auditing ( wich i am pursuing ), and i am good at all of them.i feel like i need to live like 5 times to satisfy the fields that i like and at the same time i dont know wether i am choosing the best option or not, always wondering if i am missing out on other opportunities if i would be better or happier if i chose to be an entrepreneur or pursue another carrier. But at least i am not the only one. Wich you all the best everyone and thank you for your video sir

Have you considered making more of solo episodes? I feel like they provide the most value (at least for me)
Oo😮
Just letting you know the audio in this is fkd
Love how you stand throughout the episode
Great strategy esp for ADHDs like myself
Every time i watched your podcasts,
I just surprised how deep you are 😌😶 59:57
'There are two types of people in this world. Those who don't know how to improve their lives and those who don't know when to stop' That's an excellent quote.
Did you just make that up? It’s um quite profoundly busy, just by the nature.
Love from sideline Bob in NZ
@@PinkyBar374 No, it's not mine. It was Chris's quote, he mentions it in 23:35
There are two types of people in this world - those that lump everybody into two categories, and those that don't.
I really think there isn't a better channel in existence. It's just endless intelligent, rational and balanced conversation.
You'll probably never read this, but Thank You Chris!!
Never give up! He might give you the like some day!
So freaking true. Definitely share this sentiment.
The idea of feeling unready to truly live life hits home.
Here's my journal entry from a few weeks ago:
"i feel like i'm stuck in a permanent state of temporary.
i keep telling myself: these people are temporary. this job is temporary. i'll aim higher.
but... i have no deadlines. it's permanently temporary."
That's a bleak but accurate description of life itself. *Permanently temporary.*
Don't feel bad.
Try to find a lifelong career that feels rewarding enough to allow you to want to wake up every morning and do it.
Set some goals for yourself.
Like Jordan Peterson teaches, start with the small and work up to the grand. Clean your room, then your house, then your community.. then run for Congress if you've gotten that far
Thank you, you’ve articulated it really well. Any thoughts on what the antidote might be?
Sounds like you don't like your job. Have you tried Jordan Petersons Self Authoring Program? It helps SO much! It's only about $10. It brings you thru a series of questions about your past, present & future to help you set achievable goals, which can change over time, as needed.

Thank you for sharing

He’s mentioned working on a book a few times now. I believe it’ll be coming out next year🙂
check the comments I just posted :) Havent seen yours before!! We'll fidn the way mate :D
Same. Ever since I started working, I don’t know how anymore. Especially since I worked 16 hours a day in an audit firm. Left it and slowly integrating to society but everything is different now.
This show is the GOAT. This show is the doom spiral slayer. Grateful for your efforts and stoked for your success Chris. Thank you 💯
That first one... with the bottomless pit of productivity debt. That was the most accurate and perfect description of what I feel every day.
Sometimes we just need things to be told verbally to us like parents to their child to feel ok and safe about this or that
What did he mean, I didn't grasp it. Your reply will be valuable; thanks for reading this.
He meant that some people raise the productivity bar very high to feel that they are worthy of being alive. These people tend to increase their efficiency rather than relax and have a quiet time with friends and family because when they do the latter they think they are wasting time and feel the guilt of not being productive (not doing enough).
That one hit me hard. It's exactly how I feel - or should I say: how I talk to myself - in most of the mornings.
Gotta say Chris..... This was extremely helpful for me today .Much appreciated brother 👍
"Problems are a feature of life, not a bug"... I really needed to hear that lesson right now. Thanks alot Chris!
I was a bit down lately and this episode came a the right time. Made me refocused on the present and what I already have. Thanks Chris

I really enjoy your ideas and views. Thanks for all you do and continue to grow and stay curious! Know that you are loved.
I love reading the comments section after a wonderful episode of Modern Wisdom - so many lovely messages. Thank you, Chris

Thank you for the insights Chris. I entered my lonely period when I turned 30 by moving away from a place I didn't like to somewhere new where I didn't know anyone. Thank you for helping.
This is the sermon we need. Preach, brother Williamson!

The focus less on wealth and more on lifestlye lesson may have just saved my life. Thank you.
I am so grateful this podcast exists.
This year, I found Alex Hormozi and he has changed my life. Learnt so much from him! Although I am not a business person.
The "Don't wait for life to happen part" 41:00 hits hard
This would be an awesome ongoing series. Every 100 episodes, maybe do a top 10-15 takeaways. Hell it could even be every 10 episodes.
"Don't wait for the life you want to come" is a quote that most people should take away from this video. Simply put, you would love to enjoy your life, and I promise, there are people around you that are waiting for you to enjoy your life. Thanks Chris!
I almost didn’t watch this one because no guest, but I’m glad I did because I got some real value from it. Thanks bro
Man, I cannot thank you enough for all these amazing episodes. I have learned so many things which have helped improve my life in such a positive way. Thank you for doing what you do bro!
Absolutely beautiful, man, THANK YOU!
I couldn't understand more or agree more every single point made and lesson. 100% each one is a gem.

Wow. I needed this today. Thank you for your podcast. Congratulations on your 800 episodes 🎉
Thanks man, sometimes I feel like life is really hard. I’m glad to have a found this hive mind of knowledge. Makes life easier
We appreciate you so much Chris!!! 🤍🤍🤍
All of your psychological awareness is so impressive and it’s helped you grow and it helps us grow 😄🙌🙌🙌

That was fantastically dense. Thank you so much for putting your time into this
Love you, Chris ❤
A toonie from Canada ❤ lolz thx Chris and his fine team of experts great work 😊
might be the best video of all time
Damn, I really needed to hear about productivity debt. The last few years, I generally only feel peace when I’m grinding something out.
Listen to Chris and life makes more sense , appreciate your contribution to this confusing and beautiful world
Thank you.
Chris, thank you for yours labors to increase love in this dimension. What you do becomes MATTER. 🙏
Thank you for this awesome compilation.
Thank you for the work you do.
Thank you for sharing!!! Keep them coming
Thank you brother this really helped me
Great stuff Chris. Keep em coming.
Always the best episodes, keep it up.
I almost skipped this episode. I'm glad I didn't. Thanks.
Love these videos. Thanks Chris
This is so good!! It's the first time I have ever heard of this concept and it's so me
thanks chris! you've helped me more than i can explain. can't wait to see whats next!

So much of what you're wrestling with regarding meaning and purpose has a very simple (if challenging) answer. Find a good sensible woman, marry her, and have children. Throw yourself entirely into being the best husband and father you can be. I've had tremendous professional success in my life, and it in no way will ever come close to raising a family in terms of challenge, meaning, and satisfaction. My wife and I will celebrate 33 years together, and I am so grateful for her and the children she has given me. I'm pretty confident I will be remembered 3 generations from now. Cheers!

RUclipsrs say “if you’re watching this channel you’re probably more _____ than most people.” Smarter, introspective, competent.
I take it as positive feedback ☺️
So many gems!!💎
Find the others is so good thank you Chris. You make the most inspirational, insightful, content. Keep it up
Love the line that in 3 generations no one will even remember your name.
Love these episodes
This is amazing! I love this. I kinda wish whenever you read a passage or defined terms you would put the words on the screen.
@chris, I think another way to look at “shadow sentences” comes from Edward Hall on direct/indirect communication styles, which varies depending on culture. For example, in many East Asian countries, there is a greater desire for harmony and “saving face”, so a lot of requests are made very indirectly. Exactly, because as you note, making a direct request can put one in a vulnerable position, and turning down a direct request can be uncomfortable or embarrassing for both parties. I think there are advantages to more direct and explicit communication, as you note, but it does depend on the culture and context.
Como me encantaria que hubiera mas de este tipo de creadores como chris y Alex en habla hispana.
This is fantastic!
FWIW your videos are so inspiring and I really like the questions ones. From someone who has tried so hard at things in life to have everything fail, I wish I could have heard all these casts when I was younger to maybe have done something with my degree and my life. I know young people are so F'ing dumb, just like we were.... but man I hope your videos reach people to make adifference in their lives and the future of people. You seem to work so tirelessly and for nothing other than this, thank you so much Chris.
Brilliant episode. Thank you Chris.

Opticontentment: The feeling of being content with where/who you are and at the same time, excitedly wanting to optimize all of the things, including yourself.
The curse of competence and/or the curse of the creative.
I find myself never completing projects because I constantly switch between them since I enjoy anything creative. Yes, I could definitely take many paths, but focusing on one is definitely a challenge. I wish someone would just tell me my path and what I’d be best at so I could then *try* to focus on making that passion, project, or ambition my primary focus. At this point, I’ll try to take the advice from this video and focus on something for a period of time before changing projects.
thank you for this.
The problem with being good at everything is something i suffer from. I never thought that this was happening with a lot of people. I feel like i love science and physics,i love mathematics ,i love medicine and the way human body is studied and healed, i love economy and auditing ( wich i am pursuing ), and i am good at all of them.i feel like i need to live like 5 times to satisfy the fields that i like and at the same time i dont know wether i am choosing the best option or not, always wondering if i am missing out on other opportunities if i would be better or happier if i chose to be an entrepreneur or pursue another carrier. But at least i am not the only one. Wich you all the best everyone and thank you for your video sir
Thank you so much for your content and work! ❤️
Wow, loved this episode
I put this video on my "next morning to do list" the day it came out.
This was great. It felt super relevant.
