I am starting over at 60. I definitely know that believing matters. I know I need a coach who is open consciously. But I am moving along. I have The Creative Act. It's everything Rick Rubin for me now.
you will just end up in despair and disappointment if you listen to Rubin. Listen to Ramesh Balsekar if you want to have a chance of finding peace of mind in everyday living.
I just feel such gratitude being in this era of podcasts. What a blessing hearing people, great minds, sharing their thoughts and experience without hurry nor agenda. "Internet" 's what you make it. Talk Talk
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
I’m 70, and I find him very full of wisdom, and, even more, very able to share it brilliantly. I believe that as we age, part of our life-work and of our passion is to share what we have learned with anyone who wants to listen. Some of us are less articulate than he; but if you scratch the surface, most of us deeply desire to share what we’ve learned, and to keep learning as long as we live.
@@modelsupplies oh I don't mean old in an age way, genuinely his knowledge of life and living blows my socks off when I listen to him, old here being a compliment but I see why I could have come across ageist. Apologies for that 😟
Happy? What is Happy? To me Happy is to feel good for yourself or someone else for a brief time. Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to you! I'm happy for you! I have been saying to my child (now a grown man) don't try to always Be Happy. Happy is overused, overrated, drilled into our head's to Be Happy. What we should be looking for is COMFORT. Comfort last longer than Happiness. If you can maintain the Comfort you found, your Happy moments will last a little longer. Big houses, small houses, fancy cars, sensible cars etc.. will make you fell happy, proud for a Brief Time. Look for Comfort! I grew up hearing - Peace Love and Happiness. Fast forward... now I say Peace Love and Comfort.
There's even a study finding that our young people today are struggling due to our society always requiring them to be happy! I agree. Too many folj I know say I'm dour. I'm real. If I'm happy, fine , if not then fine. Do many false smiles, false laughs, gestures, hand over the mouth to make it look that you're stifling a laugh omg it's awful. It's stylish ti always be happy...until you're alone with no one then the mask comes off.
Comfort kills. Human beings have always been more preoccupied with comfort above happiness, especially in modernity. Life couldn't be more convenient than it already is, and that's exactly where the misery lies.. in finding out we're still restless and unhappy. We comforted ourselves into a consumer driven coma. I don't want to wind up like my elderly parents. Won't go outside in the summer, health problems from junk food and tons of medication to counter that, watch too much TV, and complain all day if they're even mildly inconvenienced. They're like zombies. That's not the way. The goal is discovery of who you really are, which you'll never find out if your only goal is comfort. I've never learned anything about myself or others in the comfort zone.
The last ten minutes of this interview are incredible. His advice there is a real treasure! I am a professional musician who always loved painting as well. Over the last four months I made over fifty paintings and it feels like I'm getting better at it. I also discovered that the same rules of creativity are in all art forms. Rick summs them up in the last minutes of this interview and I wrote them down for myself to remember them: 1. developing your “voice” by doing the work: "I would say, if you found your writing voice on your fifth book we can learn from that: So it sounds like if you’ll come to your fifth album you find your voice vocally and it’s not going to happen without doing the work. ... But it won’t happen without doing the work and it’s only going to be the work that’s going to make it happen." 2. Surprise yourself by trying many different approaches: "Try it all. ... Try things. See what happens. Surprise yourself with what works for you. ... You learn both through succesful and failed experiments. Each one will get you closer to where you’re going. It’s impossible to know until you try as many things as you can try. And you’ll be surprised. ... And you will also find out what’s most fun. Like what part of the discovery process is most exciting to you." 3. Energy, creativity Do you feel there is a limit to creativity? - "No, no, no. You may run out of energy, but not creativity. You may be too tired, but that’s all. In some ways the more you engage in different creative practices, the better they all get. The thing that tabs out first is just energy. You run out of steam. But not out of ideas or creative spirit. It’s eternal and forever."
Eloquent but riddle me this.... Who paid for those 50 canvasses and the paint or the time spent to create this body of work? Where did you store 50 canvasses? Who or how many were bought for money? Did your relatives support you during you creative enlightenment? If after experiencing the wonder if 50 new canvasses and no sales did you give any thought about how that time may have been better spent writing songs or selling songs ? Did you get a gig playing in a paying band or start one yourself that became successful? 🙏
I love how Rick talked about his depression. That really resonated with me....before I was 21 yrs old, nothing really bad had ever happened to me. Of course my life wasn't perfect, but when I lost my first love and husband, father of our 4 yrd old son, when he died in a motorcycle wreck, it felt like the bottom my world just dropped from beneath me. I felt like I was smothering in pain for so long, but at some point my still young and immature mind reasoned with me that now "my bad thing" had happened to me, then I felt free, happy and foolishly felt like the rest of my life would be great...lol. Maybe I was still immature enough to feel carefree again finally. Six months after my husband died, our son suffered a major brain injury when a little girl found a pellet gun in my brother's yard and shot him in the right temple. The pellet traveled thru his brain to the back, where it remains today 34 yrs later. Those few weeks before I knew if my son would survive and whether he would have any quality of life again, the fear and pain was surreal and all I could think about was how I wanted to cease to exist to escape the raw, immeasurable pain. Obviously those two tragedies didn't define my life, but the lessons I learned by the time I was 22 yrs old were so valuable. I was determined to never feel sorry for myself and I raised our son to know that bad things happen to everyone, and that he didn't deserve any special treatment. I think during that time I almost started "expecting" bad things to happen at any given moment and still deal with depression and PTSD today at 54. Our experiences don't define us but they sure do play a major role in how we react and respond to the world around us. Still learning and trying to remind myself to embrace and enjoy the moment because the fleeting nature of time is like an exciting but dangerous dance with no rhyme or reason. I love how humble Rick and Dr Chatterjee always seem to be...humility and compassion definitely can't be taught, both are like beautiful scars that we carry with us for the rest of our lives.
The fact that you stayed there and didn’t give up is inspiring. Life can go from an ecstatic bliss to an unbearable torture, and I believe as long as people refuse to get help or follow their feelings of denial and justification will just keep learning these lessons, and they’ll get more and more intense until the proper pressure is applied. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thanks for that comment. You put into words exactly how I've come to see and value what listening to podcasts has come to mean in my life. Goes perfectly with my conclusion that the modern day version for many of family and community. " The community of books, lectures, talks, forums "
The only thing that stops us from experiencing joy is ourselves. You can change job and relationships as many times as you want but you’re still going to be bringing yourself to the new job and the new relationship. Avoidance of discomfort is a guaranteed hindrance to inner growth.
Rick Rubin and Rangan Chatterjee both give us an example of being good humans. Not in a hurry, no need to talk over each other, carefully listening and absorbing what the other person has to say. I think this is the way I try to be: Take people for who they say they are, listen to what they have to say about who they have become through their experiences in their lives. Show interest and leave your judgement elsewhere. Not just listen, but hear and feel. This is the way to honest one to one conversation, be willing to learn from each other and appreciate each other as we do our best to appreciate ourselves. These two humans give me an example of the good things I find in myself as well as other humans.
With all due respect RR, not everyone can simply move to another corner of the planet were there is beach in order to improve one's life. Money is a factor for many of us. If I wasn't living at the poverty line, I'd have more options and I could improve my life a lot easier too. In all sincerity if this was you, how would you get around this? Many people are spent, exhausted and also working their asses off. A feeling of hopelessness is paramount right now for numerous people.
He never said you can move on a whim.. He said “help yourself” 1st. I listened.. He basically meant we control our lives and take the steps needed to create the life you want.
10 mins in and I’m empowered and bought the book. I’m a Broadway actor transitioning into studying traditional Chinese medicine in grad school, and this interview has been so inspiring! Thank you!
Yes, if you have money, you can move to a beach and live your life there. This is a factor that should be taken into consideration when giving wise answers.
How much money do you think it takes to live near a beach? I'm literally looking at my sea view right now from my room, where i pay €550 a month in Greece. We didn't say move to Malibu, or The Hamptons in Long Island. Your way of thinking is keeping you in your own way.
I feel psychiatrists and psychologit's flunked the real medical school and can't stand the sight of blood. Plus there's a lot more money and straightening people's heads out
*all people need to do this with everything. You need to always be ready to admit you were wrong or thought you knew something well but have only really scratched the surface.
When the student is ready, the tescher will appear. It's been such a long process for me to see through the fog of deceptions and half truths. Videos like this have helped taken my life to the next level of wisdom.
This is why I never know how things are going to turn out when being in creativity, TIME IS GONE. I find it so irritating when new techniques ( for ex software ) is presented as time saving, WHY SAVE TIME? I'm a playing child. And it is so thru, all lies I've made are made in fear of rejection.... This is such a liberating and illuminating conversation and it's thru for all aspects of life.
Believe as a skeptical experiment. Try it for a week & see what happens. Especially pay attention to the numbers & animals you see & look up their meanings to the culture of your family or the culture of the locale where you live ♥️ Life is a profound weaving & network of synchronicities
This philosophy when played out at large will NOT result in the world getting better. Have you seen how vain and self-infatuated people have become in the past few decades and how increasingly reckless people have become since then as a result? Yeah, it's going to get worse until the end of the Age. Put your trust in Christ Jesus (God). Learn about Him and pursue the Way.
As a painter of 30 years who makes up riffs , drumbeats and melodies and performs to the paintings until something asserts itself and I know what to paint next.... much gratitude for this podcast and Ricks wise words.
Saw them at Bethel Woods/ Woodstock summer 2022. Was not excited going into it... I left there a massive fan of Earth Wind and fire 🔥. They are vibrant! Also multi generations of family members!
Yoooo, THAT’S my band right there! They’ve been my “ North Star” for MANY years now & remain so to this day. Appreciate the mention of them, thank you so very much! Respect.🙏🏽
I love that you choose your guests rather than allow the "desires of the people" to make your choice. It makes the whole thing genuinely contemplative and deeply informative. This is not an ordinary podcast or interview. It's an opportunity to connect, introspect, and glean awareness. It is an opportunity to introspect and create an informed view of oneself and therefore the planet.
Well put, thank you for your comment,often the 'comments' from a huge audience of creative/inquisitive thinkers/tinkers,can be a major contributing factor that co-exists with the original podcast,and thankfully a few rare nuggets come through from diverse minds,whom have traversed life's journey in their own unique way. 🙂
This reminds me of why I did my most creative act so far, unschooling my sons. Teachers were being saddled with strict guidelines so much so that their passion and choices for teaching were being substantially undermined.
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO for you and your children .....it is so true about the school systems now they are LITTLE PRISONS......I homeschooled my son .....He now is a PhD. physics professor......He is the smartest person I have ever known........you made the BEST decision .......
@@hanginlaundry360I hear of so many parents pulling their kids out of schools due to all the transgender and woke nonesense that's being pushed. If I had kids, I'd be doing the same.
@@steveclark.. Best decision anyone can make. Remember, too, without all the interruptions, one can school in less time. I did know unschoolers 20 years ago, who had no TV or devices, just had books around and encouraged the children to follow their interests. Groups abound where people can meet up with other families and do field trips, etc. Lots of curricula available. Limitless possibilities!
I love how Rick tends to become the interviewer for a period of time in many of the podcasts I’ve heard him in. Really awesome that he does that and takes interest in the interviewer.
This dude is so right. Everything he says resonates with me. You gotta start taking care of yourself first before you can take care of anything or anyone else.
“You can go live on a beach, there are so many options”. Spoken like a rich person. A lot of us have absolutely zero options or path out of the 9-5 death cycle.
Do you have a car or vehicle? You can sell it and move to a beach town with good public transport then move up and build better from a place of better happiness and centeredness. It's the mindset that needs to change first, man.
@@ddasher1113 I’m not even talking about myself here. There are people living in abject poverty with people depending on them who can never even dream of owning a car let alone being able to afford living in a beach town. People are trying to afford groceries and you think they can afford a move? Jobs pay shit, rent is stupid high along with just basic necessities like health insurance etc.
@@mikejunior5825 yes and now with "climate change" all home insurance is through the roof "near the beach"...forget the American dream. Not to mention HOA's, property tax, list goes on. Add a family to feed and grow to the mix
@@mikejunior5825if you're not talking about yourself, then you're probably not listening with your heart. That's the mind hiding behind the posture of compassion. At least that's my experience. I do this often - I listen for the thing I disagree with, find the hole. That's a mind game. A teacher said "The mind is a great servant, but a terrible master." When I worry about 'people' I miss the Teaching that is being given to me in this moment. And this Teaching is bigger than the rational. It is the most specific, intimate, and subtle thing and it's the most precious because it lands at the core of my being. There's a deep recognition of Truth, it's like coming home. But to receive that Teaching, I have to continuously practice pausing, observing the reactions of the critcial mind (the chains of "but what about...", the letter not the spirit) and redirecting to listen to the Teaching. When I become a student, everyone is a teacher. When I am not, no one is. The cup is already full. You are here so you are clearly on a good path. Thank you for searching, for questioning. Thank you for reminding me of this pattern, for it traps me often. May your experience of Truth continue to deepen! You are loved. God bless you
@@mikejunior5825 ok man, he is aiming at people who are above line of extreme poverty, and thats all right, those people have other kind of suffer in life
The mantra that we have choices we do not- we are mostly financially trapped- I have been financially trapped for the last 20 years and I’ve been on a hamster wheel from hell servicing a mortgage I’ve never been so broke- I don’t spend much I’m not in debt but I’m still trapped this is the voice of the privileged I’m not buying
It's eats your life. I just paid off my mortgage. 30 years of two -three jobs. Never traveling. Living in shambles. Looking back at age 65, I would have sold this house in my mid fourties' and moved to a small agricultural town, and worked part time at a library. America puts so much pressure on us to own a house. We're house obsessed, over spend, house proud. I think it's ok to rent a house and take some pressure off and make some time for calm....rest...pleasure....dreaming.
@@ruralangwin hmm! yes. wish you all the best. same here regarding the traveling and enjoying. lets hope a good time is waiting for us. give your best. the most important thing, that i learned now a days is to enjoy the process. Just enjoy what you are doing.
Wow, what a lovely, grounded, deep thinker Rick is. He has done incredible things in his life and worked with immense talent, and yet he is so humble. What a wonderful and eye opening interview. I'm definitely going to read his book.
I was amazed at how polite Rick was was. It really made me think about things. I have been trying to figure out life. Mom used to be very liberal. She would take me to see Porkie's, The Groove Tube, Body Heat. Some of these movies were very steamy and hilariously sexy. Then dad took his own life in 1983. And mom became a lot like the Waterboy's mom, Mama Boucher -- way overprotective. Then in 1987 we moved to Canada. And her attitude changed again, like saying that a man should be able to have more than one wife. Then she started dating a married man. But her man was a swindler. He would often go over to Mel's in Sackville and try to pick up all the women from Scotia Bank behind mom's back. It was around this time I went to college twice, once in 1989 and once in 1994. It was in 1997 that Lorrie and I had Blake. Then in 1999 we had Cameron. It was not long after this in 2004 that mom finally admitted how much of philanderer her man was. This was also around the time Lorrie was diagnosed with bi-polar. Then it seems that it was just a conflict between my wife (having bi-polar) and my mother (having PTSD). Add to that, Blake was diagnosed with Autism & Epilepsy, and Cameron was diagnosed with Asperger's. So here I am trying to raise two boys all the while my wife and mom are always at each other's throats. And there's so much more. If anyone think's they "know" me, you probably have no idea who I really am. You have to exhibit amazing mental toughness to rise above the factors in life that forged you.
Being completely open & honest... I've listened to the majority of music that Rick Rubin has produced. I never once imagined he was this intellectually deep. Wow... I'm blown away. And now, I fully understand why so many artists seek his services. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
I normally wake up feeling guilty when I pass out for an hour after dinner, knowing it'll keep me awake later, but not today, as I slept I dreamed and you both were right there talking away and when I woke all I felt was a bliss I don't think I've ever known, as if the vibe that runs between you both nestled itself in my psyche. Need to buy that book now. You two should talk again.
Because of the algorithm, I've listened to a lot of Rick's interviews on his book tour. This was by far, my favorite. The genuine curiosity in this conversation is so refreshing. No peacocking. Real conversation. I wish I had heard this before reading The Creative Act.
Just finished the book and it is INCREDIBLE!!!! Such a gentle soul that helped me remember why I’m doing art and giving myself more permission to make it even more about me -
What a pleasure to listen to two highly intelligent people speaking rationally and from the heart - no hidden agendas or tricks or gimmicks. I learned so much. Rick was so generous with his thoughts and feelings. And Rangan was such a skilled interviewer that gave him a huge space and variety of avenues for discussion. Thank you.
Right? I've been binging rick rubin interviews this week and this might be one of my favorites. God bless these two guys, I almost feel bad for getting so much wisdom for free
To stay with the last words: an absolute pleasure indeed. Thank you Dr. Chatterjee first for this channel and having mr. Rubin on the show sharing his gems of wisdom, wow. I guess what makes you a great MD, interviewer and musician is that you're a very good listener. Thanks again for inspiring people.
Every single breath we take is a new life. WE don't organise that breath, it just comes. What kind of power is that? Something that can come into you and give you life. It is that power that is the wind in our lives, we need to understand its presence and put up our sails, then life becomes a completely different ball game, we start to learn all over again, but this time, not what to add on to our lives, but what to take off.
Really love this interview. The way you both communicated without interrupting each other (seems like everyone nowadays) was so beautiful. You guys are truly special
Yes this is called ask a question and listen to the answer then when you've heard the answer I'll then speak. A pet hate of mine is being interrupted whilst answering a question. These 2 guys are teaching the world good old fashioned MANNERS. 😊
I'm right there. A bit lost.To much isolation over the year's has shrunk my horizon to a couple of miles around my home. I haven't only arrived at this crossroads. I've no sense of my next move. I've no barrier's to moving forward. Motivation to break out is not working and don't know why.🥶
Its not too often you get spiritual direction from a legend like Rick, honestly hearing words like this from someone ive looked up to in music is extremely moving
Thank you for leaving room for Rick to speak and share, and for continually drawing the conversation back to the book. Enjoyed your interview much more than others where the hosts seemed much more interested in telling Rick about his book, rather than learning from him. Thanks again!
Coming from where Kurt came from, emotionally and phycologically, he felt he needed to fill that empty, loveless void inside Jim with something. The pain he felt fueled and enabled him to make the real, intense art he made, unfortunately there was never and would be ever enough love to fill that void. I do believe the best art comes out of touch, difficult upbringings, the art that comes from this is pure instinctual, it's survival, raw true unmanufactured expression. I simply adore Mr Rubin.what a gift his book will be. Very much looking forward to consuming it. Thank you.,
This is the first time I have ever watched a channel for over two hours on RUclips. I can say it was worth every second! Definitely going to share it with my peeps! Thank you for sharing with me. This was what I needed.
Rick is right but he also has a MASSIVE amount of Courage and Belief and he has from early on thats why he is where he is today much respect to him, a lot of people don't have that kind of Courage he has and feel stuck and they must Conquer that first.
There are some really great points in here that have taken me quite a while to realize in business and in art/creativity. Namely, all of the comments regarding ego and intention. If we are trying to please the crowd or make money, etc, then we aren't focussing enough on the art itself and it will diminish the quality. It is also tremendously important, and a deep spiritual truth, to be able to look at things objectively (aka awareness) instead of personally. It is so much more palatable to confront something with objective language instead of personal language.
Grateful to be a fly on the wall listening to two great minds. Humbly having a conversation with the other. Mr. Rick Rubin often saying "yes" while listening seems so empowering. A great speaker and listener 🙌🙏
Enlightening! So true and so many are afraid to admit how much in control we really are, I've been afraid to change many times but faith in the self to make those hard but necessary changes for the soul made a world of difference. Not everyone will agree, not everyone will understand - so be it, it's our life - not everyone needs to know, perhaps nobody else truly needs to know why we make decisions for our life unless we truly _want_ to share.
This is a good 2.5 hours of life guidance. I've discovered the cog at the bottom of the screen and found that changing playback speed to 1.25 x is good 😇
This is probably the greatest conversation I have ever listened to. It’s crazy cuz I’ve had the same mentality lately about always progressing & being a better artist tomorrow than I was yesterday & constantly improving
THE TITLE LITERALLY DESCRIBES HOW IM FEELING AND THE WHOLE I JUST OPENED UP RUclips AND RANDOMLY THOUGHT TO SEARCH UP 'RICK RUBIN WISDOM' ...I hope the source is guiding me to something solutions..because I feel like I'm just lost and drifting.
I've been seeing this man several times and getting more and more interested in what his message is..today here was this video and I've been watching rewinding and writing things down..what he talks about is what I'm needing to be hearing and taking in..I don't know his name but will find out..he has something I need to hear..I'm at a time in my life...with all the circumstances ...it is time for me to go within and heal and connect with what I actually have been longing to..I'm thankful for the knowledge coming my way right now.
So many negative comments on here, the man is spreading the aim and goal of having peace, love and happiness in our life, you don't need millions of dollars to do that, it's for FREE closed minds think small.
Have listened to feel better live more for a good few years now. Have loved the health and wellness advice. Was very surprised to see Rick Rubin but absolutely loved it!!! An authentic life is a creative life. Loved Rick Rubin's work and his podcasts / interviews. He is such an inspirational person. Bought his book as well after listening to this...... Thanks again for this!
The time scale is what I have a problem with. I want to make a difference now, not tomorrow. Not in three days so I need to work though my trauma now. Not in 3 years... NOW!
Love this reflection from you ..: i have become aware that ‘spirituality’ as a label is not something i identify with, or want to anymore … grounding in being a true human more my thing xxxx
This guy is right straight from the beginning and i can tell from experience. For about a year now i've been watching at the time and everytime it lands on 12:12 or 13:13 etc. i've been wishing to be happy for onwards. As a guy that has been depressed for a long loong time (and not once),it really worked,man. I don't really have a job now,cause i quit my last one i was unhappy with,and i struggle with money,also i am a student,but i dont really give a shit. i am happy af.i just know things will get better soon. won't die starving,cuz in the worst case i will just take a loan from the bank and give it back in a month when i find a job. whatever happens i know i can go trough it and there is a sollution to every problem,if u dont know it,u can ask around for ideas how to deal with. Just repeat to yourself that everything will be ok and wish to be happy for some time and it will happen soon. Also listening to chill music,and watching cute cat and dog vids helps alot.
Thank you! Found this at a time when I feel so lost and it helped me find compassion for myself, see the world with an open heart, and learn that the right things and the mistakes, all get you closer to where you need to be. ❤
Reality as we know it is shifting in the next few years after a solar event. Most of us will ascend to 4D. Those who are more "awake" will go to 5 and 6D. Those that want to control the world and live in a police state with mandatory jabs and all that will stay in this frequency or timeline. Those that are negative and evil will stay here. This world is going to hell but we aren't staying with it unless we resonate with that evil frequency. Right now we are kind of in two realities. One is pushing the "great reset" and the other is bringing in a quantum financial system and world peace and all that. I've felt this for a couple years and just heard someone else mention it today.
This was beautiful. Full of ebbs and flows, super real, resonating and full of warmth. I’m an artist that has struggled so much mentally, physically and spiritually not just to make it as an artist but to come to acceptance of the ebbs and flows of life and not realising my blocks to enjoying and trusting myself and the process. Now however with support I am moving rapidly through and this podcast resonates and reassures me, gives me comfort in the whole process of creation AND life ! So thank you so much for your sincerity and authenticity 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😎
I get that this guy is probably a really big legend from early conversation content. Ive heard his name Im sure- BUT WHO CARES!!!- He’s got such a genuine, warm, engaged vibe. Id pay to hang and get his advise over coffee! Looking forward to reading his writing
Wonderful interview with the genius Rick Rubin, who is the biggest influence on music production. To be an admired human and professional being, who loves what he does deeply.
Love how he is free flowing in his interviews. Our podcast is unscripted and what we call conscious communication. It opens for conversation we never could of considered occurred. Great interview.
He's right, save yourself.i was taught caring for everybody else before self, in elated to hear something positive. Write a new story! Then experience that for self.
Your primary responsibility, that which is to become the best version of yourself, will allow you to better serve others. It's reckless to think that you will find true happiness through external sources, all the while ignoring the inner work. Do the inner work and you'll find yourself to be a far greater catalyst for others.
The sweet juicy void Waiting choices in the wings Assembling forces hibernate Allowing roots & form to grow Beauty is the fastest way The springboard effortlessly there A sense of stillness permeates Tuning into operates Resonating into action Paradoxes happening Triggered by the atmosphere The words plunge in The bull’s eye home Generating activation The ever widening heart expands We do not know We can’t explain The space between the words Unfolds Full circle into harmony Thank you both
I’m an author, actor, and singer/songwriter. I grew up longing for inspiration in the form of deep meaningful connections. I didn’t find them for many decades, at least not in a way that satisfied my artist’s spirit. Deep conversations like this one spark deep connections within me. As I listen, connections are being made in response to Rick’s words. My spirit rejoices in the wonder of this moment, recorded over a yr ago,brought into my living room through internet magic, and I’m grateful. 😊
This is bringing light to me in an uncertain place in life right now. I’m at the crossroads to find my authentic path. This video, Mr Rubin, is spot on. Love your wisdom. What’s with the spike of hair? ❤️
This is the 3rd interview I watched with Rich and it is so amazing how in every interview he gets to show another facet of his diamond being, through the interviewer. Thank you Dr C, you both have an amazing chemistry and I love the answers you have evoked from who you are being. I also feel that the book is about authenticity - I drew that conclusion from his interview with A. Huberman - and I look forward to witness the wisdom in the book myself. Sounds like I got myself an extra bible. My first bible is Ten Thousand Whispers by Lynda Madden Dahl, prepare to have your mind blown. With so much love. Monique
He's mentioned, that in some sessions, he makes the band rehearse their earliest and most unrefined material, so as to capture the spirit of the initial drive and excited inspiration of a new group.
probably all of us watching this Rick Rubin beautiful conversation were looking for a nice piece of advice, all of us again respecting this man from unmatching angles. I have lived my last 20 years taking care of myself spreading joy and positive power! Now, I feel it's time to honor my dad, my son born in a country different from the one was raised till was 3, a total mess but filled with love, my son will be by my side now till the old man and nonna will need us, then we will move again! We can't change the world and our beloved life without giving up to the precious time should give
I love listening to rich guys with no constraints talk about how free we are to change our lives. If it were so easy, we wouldn’t be searching for insight on how to make a change
Sometimes I feel like the RUclips algorithm is conspiring with the universe to bring me the most meaningful content at the right time. Much Gratitude!
Me too😍i'm grateful
Same!! Right on!
Ik
Same here

For now
"You cannot make good art if you're thinking about what other people will think".
"Make art that moves YOU".

I am starting over at 60. I definitely know that believing matters. I know I need a coach who is open consciously. But I am moving along. I have The Creative Act. It's everything Rick Rubin for me now.
So excited for you! I am starting over at 50!!
@@patriciaconroy778 thank you for sharing‼️

you will just end up in despair and disappointment if you listen to Rubin. Listen to Ramesh Balsekar if you want to have a chance of finding peace of mind in everyday living.
Rick Rubin is the guy a therapist calls when he needs to talk to someone.
😂👍
I just feel such gratitude being in this era of podcasts.
What a blessing hearing people, great minds, sharing their thoughts and experience without hurry nor agenda.
"Internet" 's what you make it.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Is he on instagram?
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode, enough to start working on my mental health.
Can dr.porassss send to me in UK?
For me it was CBD flower (dry herb vaping) radically improved my life.
Rick is like the old wise man who arrived at his wisdom through the years of living and he's kind enough to share his journey with us, thank you Rick
He’s completely out of touch with normal people’s lives. He needs to stick to music, not giving life advice.
He sounds like a pompous ass
I’m 70, and I find him very full of wisdom, and, even more, very able to share it brilliantly. I believe that as we age, part of our life-work and of our passion is to share what we have learned with anyone who wants to listen. Some of us are less articulate than he; but if you scratch the surface, most of us deeply desire to share what we’ve learned, and to keep learning as long as we live.
Old man! Geez, he's only 60 - just a couple of months older than me lol
@@modelsupplies oh I don't mean old in an age way, genuinely his knowledge of life and living blows my socks off when I listen to him, old here being a compliment but I see why I could have come across ageist. Apologies for that 😟
no hes not. 100% guarantee you, there are millions of "classic old bearded shamans" upon this planet who would change your mind.
Happy? What is Happy? To me Happy is to feel good for yourself or someone else for a brief time. Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to you! I'm happy for you! I have been saying to my child (now a grown man) don't try to always Be Happy. Happy is overused, overrated, drilled into our head's to Be Happy. What we should be looking for is COMFORT. Comfort last longer than Happiness. If you can maintain the Comfort you found, your Happy moments will last a little longer. Big houses, small houses, fancy cars, sensible cars etc.. will make you fell happy, proud for a Brief Time. Look for Comfort! I grew up hearing - Peace Love and Happiness. Fast forward... now I say Peace Love and Comfort.
I think all that we feel when we say comfort, love and happiness comes from peace. And that comes from awareness.
There's even a study finding that our young people today are struggling due to our society always requiring them to be happy!
I agree. Too many folj I know say I'm dour. I'm real. If I'm happy, fine , if not then fine. Do many false smiles, false laughs, gestures, hand over the mouth to make it look that you're stifling a laugh omg it's awful. It's stylish ti always be happy...until you're alone with no one then the mask comes off.
Comfort kills. Human beings have always been more preoccupied with comfort above happiness, especially in modernity. Life couldn't be more convenient than it already is, and that's exactly where the misery lies.. in finding out we're still restless and unhappy. We comforted ourselves into a consumer driven coma. I don't want to wind up like my elderly parents. Won't go outside in the summer, health problems from junk food and tons of medication to counter that, watch too much TV, and complain all day if they're even mildly inconvenienced. They're like zombies. That's not the way. The goal is discovery of who you really are, which you'll never find out if your only goal is comfort. I've never learned anything about myself or others in the comfort zone.
Being simply content makes me happy. 🙂
Rick is like the old wise man who arrived at his wisdom through the years of living and he's kind enough to share his journey with us, thank you Rick
The last ten minutes of this interview are incredible.
His advice there is a real treasure!
I am a professional musician who always loved painting as well.
Over the last four months I made over fifty paintings and it feels like I'm getting better at it. I also discovered that the same rules of creativity are in all art forms.
Rick summs them up in the last minutes of this interview and I wrote them down for myself to remember them:
1. developing your “voice” by doing the work:
"I would say, if you found your writing voice on your fifth book we can learn from that:
So it sounds like if you’ll come to your fifth album you find your voice vocally and it’s not going to happen without doing the work.
... But it won’t happen without doing the work and it’s only going to be the work that’s going to make it happen."
2. Surprise yourself by trying many different approaches:
"Try it all. ... Try things. See what happens.
Surprise yourself with what works for you.
... You learn both through succesful and failed experiments.
Each one will get you closer to where you’re going.
It’s impossible to know until you try as many things as you can try.
And you’ll be surprised.
... And you will also find out what’s most fun.
Like what part of the discovery process is most exciting to you."
3. Energy, creativity
Do you feel there is a limit to creativity?
- "No, no, no. You may run out of energy, but not creativity.
You may be too tired, but that’s all.
In some ways the more you engage in different creative practices, the better they all get.
The thing that tabs out first is just energy. You run out of steam. But not out of ideas or creative spirit.
It’s eternal and forever."
Thank you so much for this comment
Ppl 00000 pl plllllll
👍👍also a painter who makes music . One feeds the other
God Bless you Brother... 🙏🏼
Eloquent but riddle me this.... Who paid for those 50 canvasses and the paint or the time spent to create this body of work? Where did you store 50 canvasses? Who or how many were bought for money? Did your relatives support you during you creative enlightenment? If after experiencing the wonder if 50 new canvasses and no sales did you give any thought about how that time may have been better spent writing songs or selling songs ? Did you get a gig playing in a paying band or start one yourself that became successful? 🙏
I love how Rick talked about his depression. That really resonated with me....before I was 21 yrs old, nothing really bad had ever happened to me. Of course my life wasn't perfect, but when I lost my first love and husband, father of our 4 yrd old son, when he died in a motorcycle wreck, it felt like the bottom my world just dropped from beneath me. I felt like I was smothering in pain for so long, but at some point my still young and immature mind reasoned with me that now "my bad thing" had happened to me, then I felt free, happy and foolishly felt like the rest of my life would be great...lol. Maybe I was still immature enough to feel carefree again finally. Six months after my husband died, our son suffered a major brain injury when a little girl found a pellet gun in my brother's yard and shot him in the right temple. The pellet traveled thru his brain to the back, where it remains today 34 yrs later. Those few weeks before I knew if my son would survive and whether he would have any quality of life again, the fear and pain was surreal and all I could think about was how I wanted to cease to exist to escape the raw, immeasurable pain. Obviously those two tragedies didn't define my life, but the lessons I learned by the time I was 22 yrs old were so valuable. I was determined to never feel sorry for myself and I raised our son to know that bad things happen to everyone, and that he didn't deserve any special treatment. I think during that time I almost started "expecting" bad things to happen at any given moment and still deal with depression and PTSD today at 54. Our experiences don't define us but they sure do play a major role in how we react and respond to the world around us. Still learning and trying to remind myself to embrace and enjoy the moment because the fleeting nature of time is like an exciting but dangerous dance with no rhyme or reason. I love how humble Rick and Dr Chatterjee always seem to be...humility and compassion definitely can't be taught, both are like beautiful scars that we carry with us for the rest of our lives.
Fucking WOW 🤝❤️🩹 That was potent and pertinent, and thank you for laying it bare and sharing that with us. ❤️🩹🙌
The fact that you stayed there and didn’t give up is inspiring. Life can go from an ecstatic bliss to an unbearable torture, and I believe as long as people refuse to get help or follow their feelings of denial and justification will just keep learning these lessons, and they’ll get more and more intense until the proper pressure is applied. Thank you for sharing your story.
Whoa. Thank you for sharing.
The older I get, the more incompetent my brain gets at handling sorrowful stories. May Grace be upon us all.

"Podcasts are the modern day campfire." I love that! 😊💖
@@brandoneliason9218 they are. 😊
That’s a wonderful way of putting it! I love it too !
Thanks for that comment. You put into words exactly how I've come to see and value what listening to podcasts has come to mean in my life. Goes perfectly with my conclusion that the modern day version for many of family and community. " The community of books, lectures, talks, forums "
The only thing that stops us from experiencing joy is ourselves. You can change job and relationships as many times as you want but you’re still going to be bringing yourself to the new job and the new relationship. Avoidance of discomfort is a guaranteed hindrance to inner growth.
This guy is breath of fresh air
Rick Rubin and Rangan Chatterjee both give us an example of being good humans. Not in a hurry, no need to talk over each other, carefully listening and absorbing what the other person has to say. I think this is the way I try to be: Take people for who they say they are, listen to what they have to say about who they have become through their experiences in their lives. Show interest and leave your judgement elsewhere. Not just listen, but hear and feel. This is the way to honest one to one conversation, be willing to learn from each other and appreciate each other as we do our best to appreciate ourselves. These two humans give me an example of the good things I find in myself as well as other humans.
Exactly!
Rubin is a parasite who made millions off of the backs of talented artists. They have you all so conditioned, you just accept it at this point. WOW!
With all due respect RR, not everyone can simply move to another corner of the planet were there is beach in order to improve one's life. Money is a factor for many of us. If I wasn't living at the poverty line, I'd have more options and I could improve my life a lot easier too. In all sincerity if this was you, how would you get around this? Many people are spent, exhausted and also working their asses off. A feeling of hopelessness is paramount right now for numerous people.
He never said that, respectfully. He simple said “we control our own lives”
Yes, 100. I cant say i know the way out...but crypto is nearly the last avenues, unfortunately
@@BowmanKng-tm4xr You are wrong Have another listen He did say this.
He never said you can move on a whim.. He said “help yourself” 1st. I listened.. He basically meant we control our lives and take the steps needed to create the life you want.
I’ll listen again later though

Sometimes its good to just sit and listen to a wise man speak words of wisdom
Yes, if you have money, you can move to a beach and live your life there. This is a factor that should be taken into consideration when giving wise answers.
How much money do you think it takes to live near a beach? I'm literally looking at my sea view right now from my room, where i pay €550 a month in Greece. We didn't say move to Malibu, or The Hamptons in Long Island. Your way of thinking is keeping you in your own way.
Depends on what you think you need and what you're attached to.
I was thinking the same thing
It’s about simplicity. We all take for granted the simple things that truly mean the most.
it is not your poverty but the poverty of your aspirations that is keeping you poor - some american guy
It's so refreshing to hear an MD say how much he doesn't know and how much more there is to learn. All MD's need to show more of that humility.
I feel psychiatrists and psychologit's flunked the real medical school and can't stand the sight of blood.
Plus there's a lot more money and straightening people's heads out
Why? We are gods that bestow health and cures to an willfully ignorant world. J/K.
*all people need to do this with everything.
You need to always be ready to admit you were wrong or thought you knew something well but have only really scratched the surface.
Art and life are not separate, life is an art.
When the student is ready, the tescher will appear. It's been such a long process for me to see through the fog of deceptions and half truths. Videos like this have helped taken my life to the next level of wisdom.
This is why I never know how things are going to turn out when being in creativity, TIME IS GONE. I find it so irritating when new techniques ( for ex software ) is presented as time saving, WHY SAVE TIME? I'm a playing child. And it is so thru, all lies I've made are made in fear of rejection.... This is such a liberating and illuminating conversation and it's thru for all aspects of life.
I hate finding the best advice, the best knowledge, and having a brain that doesn’t let you believe a second of it
Trust God . He's the essence of real
Believe as a skeptical experiment. Try it for a week & see what happens. Especially pay attention to the numbers & animals you see & look up their meanings to the culture of your family or the culture of the locale where you live ♥️
Life is a profound weaving & network of synchronicities
This philosophy when played out at large will NOT result in the world getting better. Have you seen how vain and self-infatuated people have become in the past few decades and how increasingly reckless people have become since then as a result? Yeah, it's going to get worse until the end of the Age. Put your trust in Christ Jesus (God). Learn about Him and pursue the Way.
Change your beliefs my friend
You choose your beliefs
As a painter of 30 years who makes up riffs , drumbeats and melodies and performs to the paintings until something asserts itself and I know what to paint next.... much gratitude for this podcast and Ricks wise words.
I think it's so great that one of the only times we see Rick laugh and smile is when he talks about how perfect the Earth, Wind, and Fire album is.
What a legend
Saw them at Bethel Woods/ Woodstock summer 2022. Was not excited going into it... I left there a massive fan of Earth Wind and fire 🔥. They are vibrant! Also multi generations of family members!
Yoooo, THAT’S my band right there! They’ve been my “ North Star” for MANY years now & remain so to this day. Appreciate the mention of them, thank you so very much! Respect.🙏🏽
I love that you choose your guests rather than allow the "desires of the people" to make your choice. It makes the whole thing genuinely contemplative and deeply informative. This is not an ordinary podcast or interview. It's an opportunity to connect, introspect, and glean awareness. It is an opportunity to introspect and create an informed view of oneself and therefore the planet.
Well put, thank you for your comment,often the 'comments' from a huge audience of creative/inquisitive thinkers/tinkers,can be a major contributing factor that co-exists with the original podcast,and thankfully a few rare nuggets come through from diverse minds,whom have traversed life's journey in their own unique way. 🙂
My team and I Research this and we decided that rick is right the other guy I don't know
😮
This reminds me of why I did my most creative act so far, unschooling my sons. Teachers were being saddled with strict guidelines so much so that their passion and choices for teaching were being substantially undermined.
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO for you and your children .....it is so true about the school systems now they are LITTLE PRISONS......I homeschooled my son .....He now is a PhD. physics professor......He is the smartest person I have ever known........you made the BEST decision .......
Good for you! I did something similar!!!
@@hanginlaundry360I hear of so many parents pulling their kids out of schools due to all the transgender and woke nonesense that's being pushed. If I had kids, I'd be doing the same.
@@steveclark.. Best decision anyone can make. Remember, too, without all the interruptions, one can school in less time. I did know unschoolers 20 years ago, who had no TV or devices, just had books around and encouraged the children to follow their interests. Groups abound where people can meet up with other families and do field trips, etc. Lots of curricula available. Limitless possibilities!
We unschool as well
Moving doesnt change anything. Im always here. Animal abuse still exists. Trying to be happy
I like it how Rick calls things that are obvious...yet so hidden. Simple things...that we tend to complicate.
I love how Rick tends to become the interviewer for a period of time in many of the podcasts I’ve heard him in. Really awesome that he does that and takes interest in the interviewer.
This dude is so right. Everything he says resonates with me. You gotta start taking care of yourself first before you can take care of anything or anyone else.
Jordan Peterson
“You can go live on a beach, there are so many options”. Spoken like a rich person. A lot of us have absolutely zero options or path out of the 9-5 death cycle.
Do you have a car or vehicle? You can sell it and move to a beach town with good public transport then move up and build better from a place of better happiness and centeredness. It's the mindset that needs to change first, man.
@@ddasher1113 I’m not even talking about myself here. There are people living in abject poverty with people depending on them who can never even dream of owning a car let alone being able to afford living in a beach town. People are trying to afford groceries and you think they can afford a move? Jobs pay shit, rent is stupid high along with just basic necessities like health insurance etc.
@@mikejunior5825 yes and now with "climate change" all home insurance is through the roof "near the beach"...forget the American dream. Not to mention HOA's, property tax, list goes on. Add a family to feed and grow to the mix
@@mikejunior5825if you're not talking about yourself, then you're probably not listening with your heart. That's the mind hiding behind the posture of compassion. At least that's my experience. I do this often - I listen for the thing I disagree with, find the hole. That's a mind game. A teacher said "The mind is a great servant, but a terrible master." When I worry about 'people' I miss the Teaching that is being given to me in this moment. And this Teaching is bigger than the rational. It is the most specific, intimate, and subtle thing and it's the most precious because it lands at the core of my being. There's a deep recognition of Truth, it's like coming home. But to receive that Teaching, I have to continuously practice pausing, observing the reactions of the critcial mind (the chains of "but what about...", the letter not the spirit) and redirecting to listen to the Teaching. When I become a student, everyone is a teacher. When I am not, no one is. The cup is already full. You are here so you are clearly on a good path. Thank you for searching, for questioning. Thank you for reminding me of this pattern, for it traps me often. May your experience of Truth continue to deepen! You are loved. God bless you
@@mikejunior5825 ok man, he is aiming at people who are above line of extreme poverty, and thats all right, those people have other kind of suffer in life
The mantra that we have choices we do not- we are mostly financially trapped- I have been financially trapped for the last 20 years and I’ve been on a hamster wheel from hell servicing a mortgage I’ve never been so broke- I don’t spend much I’m not in debt but I’m still trapped this is the voice of the privileged I’m not buying
Yes. I am just 21 years old. But I have also been facing this for 3 years.
It's eats your life. I just paid off my mortgage. 30 years of two -three jobs. Never traveling. Living in shambles. Looking back at age 65, I would have sold this house in my mid fourties' and moved to a small agricultural town, and worked part time at a library. America puts so much pressure on us to own a house. We're house obsessed, over spend, house proud. I think it's ok to rent a house and take some pressure off and make some time for calm....rest...pleasure....dreaming.
@@ruralangwin hmm! yes. wish you all the best. same here regarding the traveling and enjoying. lets hope a good time is waiting for us. give your best. the most important thing, that i learned now a days is to enjoy the process. Just enjoy what you are doing.
Wow, what a lovely, grounded, deep thinker Rick is. He has done incredible things in his life and worked with immense talent, and yet he is so humble. What a wonderful and eye opening interview. I'm definitely going to read his book.
I was amazed at how polite Rick was was. It really made me think about things. I have been trying to figure out life.
Mom used to be very liberal. She would take me to see Porkie's, The Groove Tube, Body Heat. Some of these movies were very steamy and hilariously sexy.
Then dad took his own life in 1983. And mom became a lot like the Waterboy's mom, Mama Boucher -- way overprotective.
Then in 1987 we moved to Canada. And her attitude changed again, like saying that a man should be able to have more than one wife. Then she started dating a married man.
But her man was a swindler. He would often go over to Mel's in Sackville and try to pick up all the women from Scotia Bank behind mom's back. It was around this time I went to college twice, once in 1989 and once in 1994.
It was in 1997 that Lorrie and I had Blake. Then in 1999 we had Cameron. It was not long after this in 2004 that mom finally admitted how much of philanderer her man was. This was also around the time Lorrie was diagnosed with bi-polar.
Then it seems that it was just a conflict between my wife (having bi-polar) and my mother (having PTSD). Add to that, Blake was diagnosed with Autism & Epilepsy, and Cameron was diagnosed with Asperger's. So here I am trying to raise two boys all the while my wife and mom are always at each other's throats.
And there's so much more. If anyone think's they "know" me, you probably have no idea who I really am. You have to exhibit amazing mental toughness to rise above the factors in life that forged you.
I just like looking at the pictures
Perhaps the characteristics of a legend is humility and a mind that is forever curious
Being completely open & honest... I've listened to the majority of music that Rick Rubin has produced. I never once imagined he was this intellectually deep. Wow... I'm blown away. And now, I fully understand why so many artists seek his services. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
I normally wake up feeling guilty when I pass out for an hour after dinner, knowing it'll keep me awake later, but not today, as I slept I dreamed and you both were right there talking away and when I woke all I felt was a bliss I don't think I've ever known, as if the vibe that runs between you both nestled itself in my psyche. Need to buy that book now. You two should talk again.
Because of the algorithm, I've listened to a lot of Rick's interviews on his book tour. This was by far, my favorite. The genuine curiosity in this conversation is so refreshing. No peacocking. Real conversation. I wish I had heard this before reading The Creative Act.
Just finished the book and it is INCREDIBLE!!!! Such a gentle soul that helped me remember why I’m doing art and giving myself more permission to make it even more about me -
What a pleasure to listen to two highly intelligent people speaking rationally and from the heart - no hidden agendas or tricks or gimmicks. I learned so much. Rick was so generous with his thoughts and feelings. And Rangan was such a skilled interviewer that gave him a huge space and variety of avenues for discussion. Thank you.
Right? I've been binging rick rubin interviews this week and this might be one of my favorites. God bless these two guys, I almost feel bad for getting so much wisdom for free
@@andyzhang7890That made me laugh. You "almost" feel bad.
To stay with the last words: an absolute pleasure indeed. Thank you Dr. Chatterjee first for this channel and having mr. Rubin on the show sharing his gems of wisdom, wow.
I guess what makes you a great MD, interviewer and musician is that you're a very good listener. Thanks again for inspiring people.
Absolutely Agree!
@@anne-marieh6128 I agree too!!
Great musicians are most likely great listeners.
Every single breath we take is a new life. WE don't organise that breath, it just comes. What kind of power is that? Something that can come into you and give you life. It is that power that is the wind in our lives, we need to understand its presence and put up our sails, then life becomes a completely different ball game, we start to learn all over again, but this time, not what to add on to our lives, but what to take off.
I love that you choose your guests rather than allow the "desires of the people" to make your choice
Really love this interview. The way you both communicated without interrupting each other (seems like everyone nowadays) was so beautiful. You guys are truly special
Yes this is called ask a question and listen to the answer then when you've heard the answer I'll then speak. A pet hate of mine is being interrupted whilst answering a question. These 2 guys are teaching the world good old fashioned MANNERS. 😊
I fucking love this guy. Authenticity is a turn-on.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😮😅😅😮😅😮😅😅😮😮😮 nr😮
Can we all pay a large respect to Mr. Rick Rubin for sharing with us all his wisdom and kindness
I love the opening. “Make more beautiful things.” and knowing we have control of our life to yield good results. Needed to hear this
I'm right there. A bit lost.To much isolation over the year's has shrunk my horizon to a couple of miles around my home. I haven't only arrived at this crossroads. I've no sense of my next move. I've no barrier's to moving forward. Motivation to break out is not working and don't know why.🥶
Its not too often you get spiritual direction from a legend like Rick, honestly hearing words like this from someone ive looked up to in music is extremely moving
I simply love listening to Rick Rubin's voice! Just beautiful!!!!
Thank you for leaving room for Rick to speak and share, and for continually drawing the conversation back to the book. Enjoyed your interview much more than others where the hosts seemed much more interested in telling Rick about his book, rather than learning from him. Thanks again!
I sense no ego's here, just two wonderful people giving lots of value to make your life better.
We are in control. We are supposed to make the right choices.
Jesus Loves you and has a great plan for your life. Be blessed everyone reading
Coming from where Kurt came from, emotionally and phycologically, he felt he needed to fill that empty, loveless void inside Jim with something. The pain he felt fueled and enabled him to make the real, intense art he made, unfortunately there was never and would be ever enough love to fill that void. I do believe the best art comes out of touch, difficult upbringings, the art that comes from this is pure instinctual, it's survival, raw true unmanufactured expression. I simply adore Mr Rubin.what a gift his book will be. Very much looking forward to consuming it. Thank you.,
This is the first time I have ever watched a channel for over two hours on RUclips. I can say it was worth every second! Definitely going to share it with my peeps! Thank you for sharing with me. This was what I needed.
I love the way Rick brings out the soul of the interviewer..always. It is beautiful.
Rick is right but he also has a MASSIVE amount of Courage and Belief and he has from early on thats why he is where he is today much respect to him, a lot of people don't have that kind of Courage he has and feel stuck and they must Conquer that first.
Thank you for having maskless conversations for us viewers to be inspired by.
Beautifully truthful, humble and touching. Thank you
WELL SAID!
There are some really great points in here that have taken me quite a while to realize in business and in art/creativity. Namely, all of the comments regarding ego and intention. If we are trying to please the crowd or make money, etc, then we aren't focussing enough on the art itself and it will diminish the quality. It is also tremendously important, and a deep spiritual truth, to be able to look at things objectively (aka awareness) instead of personally. It is so much more palatable to confront something with objective language instead of personal language.
Grateful to be a fly on the wall listening to two great minds. Humbly having a conversation with the other. Mr. Rick Rubin often saying "yes" while listening seems so empowering. A great speaker and listener 🙌🙏
Enlightening! So true and so many are afraid to admit how much in control we really are, I've been afraid to change many times but faith in the self to make those hard but necessary changes for the soul made a world of difference. Not everyone will agree, not everyone will understand - so be it, it's our life - not everyone needs to know, perhaps nobody else truly needs to know why we make decisions for our life unless we truly _want_ to share.
This is a good 2.5 hours of life guidance.
I've discovered the cog at the bottom of the screen and found that changing playback speed to 1.25 x is good 😇
This is probably the greatest conversation I have ever listened to. It’s crazy cuz I’ve had the same mentality lately about always progressing & being a better artist tomorrow than I was yesterday & constantly improving
THE TITLE LITERALLY DESCRIBES HOW IM FEELING AND THE WHOLE I JUST OPENED UP RUclips AND RANDOMLY THOUGHT TO SEARCH UP 'RICK RUBIN WISDOM' ...I hope the source is guiding me to something solutions..because I feel like I'm just lost and drifting.
It's OK to be lost and drifting. You're flowing. Try sitting quietly with it a few minutes every day.

I've been seeing this man several times and getting more and more interested in what his message is..today here was this video and I've been watching rewinding and writing things down..what he talks about is what I'm needing to be hearing and taking in..I don't know his name but will find out..he has something I need to hear..I'm at a time in my life...with all the circumstances ...it is time for me to go within and heal and connect with what I actually have been longing to..I'm thankful for the knowledge coming my way right now.
So many negative comments on here, the man is spreading the aim and goal of having peace, love and happiness in our life, you don't need millions of dollars to do that, it's for FREE closed minds think small.
Have listened to feel better live more for a good few years now. Have loved the health and wellness advice. Was very surprised to see Rick Rubin but absolutely loved it!!! An authentic life is a creative life. Loved Rick Rubin's work and his podcasts / interviews. He is such an inspirational person. Bought his book as well after listening to this...... Thanks again for this!
In control until your not. Any given Sunday albeit a car accident, a sudden death or health event can change that perspective on a dime.
So very true.
The time scale is what I have a problem with. I want to make a difference now, not tomorrow. Not in three days so I need to work though my trauma now. Not in 3 years... NOW!
You are making a difference now, probably without even realising it.
This is as spiritual as anything I've seen without acknowledging the spirituality directly. Beautiful humanity ❤
Love this reflection from you ..: i have become aware that ‘spirituality’ as a label is not something i identify with, or want to anymore … grounding in being a true human more my thing xxxx
This guy is right straight from the beginning and i can tell from experience. For about a year now i've been watching at the time and everytime it lands on 12:12 or 13:13 etc. i've been wishing to be happy for onwards. As a guy that has been depressed for a long loong time (and not once),it really worked,man. I don't really have a job now,cause i quit my last one i was unhappy with,and i struggle with money,also i am a student,but i dont really give a shit. i am happy af.i just know things will get better soon. won't die starving,cuz in the worst case i will just take a loan from the bank and give it back in a month when i find a job. whatever happens i know i can go trough it and there is a sollution to every problem,if u dont know it,u can ask around for ideas how to deal with. Just repeat to yourself that everything will be ok and wish to be happy for some time and it will happen soon.
Also listening to chill music,and watching cute cat and dog vids helps alot.
Thank you! Found this at a time when I feel so lost and it helped me find compassion for myself, see the world with an open heart, and learn that the right things and the mistakes, all get you closer to where you need to be. ❤
Reality as we know it is shifting in the next few years after a solar event. Most of us will ascend to 4D. Those who are more "awake" will go to 5 and 6D. Those that want to control the world and live in a police state with mandatory jabs and all that will stay in this frequency or timeline. Those that are negative and evil will stay here. This world is going to hell but we aren't staying with it unless we resonate with that evil frequency.
Right now we are kind of in two realities. One is pushing the "great reset" and the other is bringing in a quantum financial system and world peace and all that. I've felt this for a couple years and just heard someone else mention it today.
This was beautiful. Full of ebbs and flows, super real, resonating and full of warmth. I’m an artist that has struggled so much mentally, physically and spiritually not just to make it as an artist but to come to acceptance of the ebbs and flows of life and not realising my blocks to enjoying and trusting myself and the process. Now however with support I am moving rapidly through and this podcast resonates and reassures me, gives me comfort in the whole process of creation AND life ! So thank you so much for your sincerity and authenticity 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😎
I get that this guy is probably a really big legend from early conversation content. Ive heard his name Im sure- BUT WHO CARES!!!- He’s got such a genuine, warm, engaged vibe. Id pay to hang and get his advise over coffee!
Looking forward to reading his writing
😘😘
great podcast. i could listen to him talk all day. such a calm, soothing voice filled with wisdom and compassion.
The key 🗝️ being attached to learning, even about opposing opinions. Not being attached to ego or being "right"👍🏼💕
Wonderful interview with the genius Rick Rubin, who is the biggest influence on music production.
To be an admired human and professional being, who loves what he does deeply.
Love how he is free flowing in his interviews. Our podcast is unscripted and what we call conscious communication. It opens for conversation we never could of considered occurred. Great interview.
Great comment
One of the best interviews I've ever heard. Thank you both for blessing us ✌️❤️😊
He's right, save yourself.i was taught caring for everybody else before self, in elated to hear something positive. Write a new story! Then experience that for self.
Your primary responsibility, that which is to become the best version of yourself, will allow you to better serve others. It's reckless to think that you will find true happiness through external sources, all the while ignoring the inner work. Do the inner work and you'll find yourself to be a far greater catalyst for others.
It´s in everyone´s interest to take care of ourselves... 👏👏👏
I am lost and unhappy so watched this and well, nothing happened. Rick seems a lovely, lovely human being. Namaste.
I'm get the same 🙂
I'm feeling the same 🙂
SAME
The sweet juicy void
Waiting choices in the wings
Assembling forces hibernate
Allowing roots & form to grow
Beauty is the fastest way
The springboard effortlessly there
A sense of stillness permeates
Tuning into operates
Resonating into action
Paradoxes happening
Triggered by the atmosphere
The words plunge in
The bull’s eye home
Generating activation
The ever widening heart expands
We do not know
We can’t explain
The space between the words
Unfolds
Full circle into harmony
Thank you both
I’m an author, actor, and singer/songwriter. I grew up longing for inspiration in the form of deep meaningful connections. I didn’t find them for many decades, at least not in a way that satisfied my artist’s spirit. Deep conversations like this one spark deep connections within me. As I listen, connections are being made in response to Rick’s words. My spirit rejoices in the wonder of this moment, recorded over a yr ago,brought into my living room through internet magic, and I’m grateful. 😊
This is bringing light to me in an uncertain place in life right now. I’m at the crossroads to find my authentic path. This video, Mr Rubin, is spot on. Love your wisdom. What’s with the spike of hair? ❤️
The idea of health being a creative journey is really fantastic! What a beautiful way to look at it.
We all are artistists and some kind of caregivers to help our fellow humans.
This is the 3rd interview I watched with Rich and it is so amazing how in every interview he gets to show another facet of his diamond being, through the interviewer. Thank you Dr C, you both have an amazing chemistry and I love the answers you have evoked from who you are being. I also feel that the book is about authenticity - I drew that conclusion from his interview with A. Huberman - and I look forward to witness the wisdom in the book myself. Sounds like I got myself an extra bible. My first bible is Ten Thousand Whispers by Lynda Madden Dahl, prepare to have your mind blown. With so much love. Monique
Dr Rangan your choice of guests is absolutely remarkable.. ❤️
Thank you for the great interview.
I always wanted to hear a record that had Rick Rubin mentioned somewhere on the album cover. Genius!
He's mentioned, that in some sessions, he makes the band rehearse their earliest and most unrefined material, so as to capture the spirit of the initial drive and excited inspiration of a new group.
Rick Rubin the GOAT.
Both of these men are incredibly mindful… awesome talk.
probably all of us watching this Rick Rubin beautiful conversation were looking for a nice piece of advice, all of us again respecting this man from unmatching angles. I have lived my last 20 years taking care of myself spreading joy and positive power! Now, I feel it's time to honor my dad, my son born in a country different from the one was raised till was 3, a total mess but filled with love, my son will be by my side now till the old man and nonna will need us, then we will move again! We can't change the world and our beloved life without giving up to the precious time should give
I love listening to rich guys with no constraints talk about how free we are to change our lives. If it were so easy, we wouldn’t be searching for insight on how to make a change
