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
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.
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’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 😟
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? 🙏
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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. 🙂
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
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 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.
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. 😊
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.🙏🏽
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 -
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.,
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.
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.
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 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 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 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
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 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
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!
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.
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.
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.
Everything Rick Rubin say is equal to what I say. Always thinking I was crazy. So everything he say is like I say -I know that!? -I’ve been there!? The difference is that he can put it down in words so people understand ❤️ Thank U Rick 🙏
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
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 😇
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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 🙌🙏
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.
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.
being a Afrikan yoga instructor and this my first year of teaching and what you have just said i totally agree with you and founding you Ricky so helpful and i am so thankful for you 🙏🏿💜
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.
I just cataloged this book yesterday! (librarian here) What a delight to have this interview to listen to today! love your podcast. can't wait to her your music someday.
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 also experienced an awakening and started creating what my soul wanted me to create by finding the voice of my subconscious it was like being blind and being given the gift of vision and I let go of any strong beliefs or ideals and just opened up my self as an individual and man it’s crazy how you explain how you can see the things that is confounding others in their lives because man I see it every day in people in my life
I adore Rick Rubin. My soul feels such resonance with everything he says. He is such a beautiful soul. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible exchange.
Beautiful conversation, Rangan! It‘s wonderful to see, how much you enjoy your conversations and what impact they have on you and your personal development!
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
Man.. Rick Ruben is on another level. Truly. Imagine having his much success and being a titanic of a brand/name and being as wise and humble as he is. It’s astonishing
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
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!
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.
This is one of the most intense, emotional, sincerely , podcast IV watched. Very touching, to my heart. Just the look and impressions they give, so enjoyable to see, and feel. Thank you, very , very , great info also. . . ❤
My heart is filled with joy while I am listening your conversation with Mr. Ruben. The joy I feel in my heart is so sublimely and humanly beautiful, hopeful and lifting ... Thank you for sharing your genuine thoughts and feelings! The most beautiful and powerful nourishments in my soul and spirit! Thank you!!! Theresa
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.

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 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.

no hes not. 100% guarantee you, there are millions of "classic old bearded shamans" upon this planet who would change your mind.
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."

"You cannot make good art if you're thinking about what other people will think".
"Make art that moves YOU".
who said it?
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 is the guy a therapist calls when he needs to talk to someone.
😂👍
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.

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!
Listening to one another is something today we are missing sadly
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.
"The quality of your videos and the depth of your teachings are exceptional."
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
Rich Rubin is Gandalf
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!
Good luck on your journey
what is the book called? X wanna make sure I get the right one
@@leftover1s The Creative Act: A Way of Being
@@George2647g y’all can do BOTH! Ha
*You* are empowering! A Broadway actor and a Graduate student studying traditional Chinese medicine... wow. 😮
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
😮
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.
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
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.
Perhaps the characteristics of a legend is humility and a mind that is forever curious
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. 😊
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.
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.
Sometimes its good to just sit and listen to a wise man speak words of wisdom
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.

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 just like looking at the pictures
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 love the way Rick brings out the soul of the interviewer..always. It is beautiful.
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 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.🙏🏽
Art and life are not separate, life is an art.
I like it how Rick calls things that are obvious...yet so hidden. Simple things...that we tend to complicate.
I fucking love this guy. Authenticity is a turn-on.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😮😅😅😮😅😮😅😅😮😮😮 nr😮
A voice like chocolate velvet crunch... He could say anything for all I care❤
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 -
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.,
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.
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.
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 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 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 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
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 came for Rick and I stayed for both of you. This is such a magic talk. Thank you
Can we all pay a large respect to Mr. Rick Rubin for sharing with us all his wisdom and kindness
"Podcasts are the modern day campfire." I love that! 😊💖
@@brandoneliason9218 they are. 😊
That’s a wonderful way of putting it! I love it too !
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!
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. 🙂
I'm 36years old and I'm only now discovering Rick Rubin. I am so greatful
I love that you choose your guests rather than allow the "desires of the people" to make your choice
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.
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.
Everything Rick Rubin say is equal to what I say. Always thinking I was crazy. So everything he say is like I say
-I know that!? -I’ve been there!?
The difference is that he can put it down in words so people understand ❤️
Thank U Rick 🙏
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 simply love listening to Rick Rubin's voice! Just beautiful!!!!
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 😇
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.
Great , but I’m sick of sitting in the quietness that’s the problem!
@@toomylight2311 What happens when you sit in the quietness?
great podcast. i could listen to him talk all day. such a calm, soothing voice filled with wisdom and compassion.
I sense no ego's here, just two wonderful people giving lots of value to make your life better.
The idea of health being a creative journey is really fantastic! What a beautiful way to look at it.
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!
Thank you for having maskless conversations for us viewers to be inspired by.
Beautifully truthful, humble and touching. Thank you
WELL SAID!
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 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.
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
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
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 🙌🙏
I havent got 2.5hrs from this beautiful summer day to waste glued to this which is very positive
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.
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.
We are in control. We are supposed to make the right choices.
Human beings like these two should be the ones in power leading our country (s)
That will never be “allowed” as long as people believe in the necessity of an authoritative centralized government; it is a mindset.
being a Afrikan yoga instructor and this my first year of teaching and what you have just said i totally agree with you and founding you Ricky so helpful and i am so thankful for you 🙏🏿💜
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
I just cataloged this book yesterday! (librarian here) What a delight to have this interview to listen to today!
love your podcast. can't wait to her your music someday.
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 also experienced an awakening and started creating what my soul wanted me to create by finding the voice of my subconscious it was like being blind and being given the gift of vision and I let go of any strong beliefs or ideals and just opened up my self as an individual and man it’s crazy how you explain how you can see the things that is confounding others in their lives because man I see it every day in people in my life
I adore Rick Rubin. My soul feels such resonance with everything he says. He is such a beautiful soul. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible exchange.
Great, great conversation! Wise words, can't wait to now read Rick's book. Thank you for this authentic connection.❤
One of the best interviews I've ever heard. Thank you both for blessing us ✌️❤️😊
Both these gentlemen are so brilliant and enlightening.
This is one of the grandest things ever posted on RUclips. I’m grateful you two connected the way you did. The energy was magic
The key 🗝️ being attached to learning, even about opposing opinions. Not being attached to ego or being "right"👍🏼💕
I just stumbled on this video and it just fits perfectly with what’s going on with my life
Beautiful conversation, Rangan! It‘s wonderful to see, how much you enjoy your conversations and what impact they have on you and your personal development!
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
😘😘
He is one of the most fascinating people in the world. I want him as my mentor ❤
Man.. Rick Ruben is on another level. Truly. Imagine having his much success and being a titanic of a brand/name and being as wise and humble as he is. It’s astonishing
It´s in everyone´s interest to take care of ourselves... 👏👏👏
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
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.
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.
Something comforting about Rick Rubin's voice for me. Very nice video.
This guy is brilliant and I like the tuft of hair sticking up.
We all are artistists and some kind of caregivers to help our fellow humans.
This is one of the most intense, emotional, sincerely , podcast IV watched. Very touching, to my heart. Just the look and impressions they give, so enjoyable to see, and feel. Thank you, very , very , great info also. . . ❤
Dr Rangan your choice of guests is absolutely remarkable.. ❤️
Thank you for the great interview.
My heart is filled with joy while I am listening your conversation with Mr. Ruben. The joy I feel in my heart is so sublimely and humanly beautiful, hopeful and lifting ...
Thank you for sharing your genuine thoughts and feelings! The most beautiful and powerful nourishments in my soul and spirit! Thank you!!! Theresa
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
